| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE I'll second Horseface's post--no experience with BAT but Dan has been a joy to deal with, his gear is well made, looks great and sounds fantastic. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Just what I am looking for--thanks guys. I want to try tubes BUT want it to be super quiet and very neutral, which just a hint of bloom and dimensionality that tubes often bring. Sounds like the Herron is the ticket. As to the styling, I actually ... | |
| Dynavector 10X5 v. AT OC9 Thanks, guys. I'm now trying to locate a good deal on an AT OC9 or Dyna 20XL, either of which should do the trick. My preference is for the OC9 since I had a 20XM for a while and would like to try something different. | |
| Dynavector 10X5 v. AT OC9 Thanks, guys. Stanwal...did you run the OC9 in the Scout? I know VPI likes the Dyna's as a match to the JMW9 but am wondering how the weight and compliance of the OC9 will mate in this arm. | |
| Scout Bearing Lubrication Thanks, guys. I found some lithium grease (brown, not white) in the garage and put a little on the ball and shaft. Spins nicely! | |
| Scout Bearing Lubrication Thanks, guys. Should I put some on the shaft as well? | |
| Moscode 402AU vs Modwright KWA-150 I'll be taking delivery on a KWA-150 next week. It will be driving my DA-1.1's which have been outfitted with the AP crossover. Very interested to hear how this paring will sound! Michael--did you get the new speaks yet? | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Jdoris:I'll be moving my DA-1.1's into a smaller space having moved recently--they are on their way back from Lou who performed the "All Poly" crossover upgrade while we were packing and moving. Previously I had the speakers in a 23L X 14W X 9H sp... | |
| New Lyra Delos Cartridge Audiofeil:I'd appreciate your comments on the comparison between the Delos and the Kleos. What are the design similarities and differences between these cartridges? Price points? | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Daedalus Audio has gorgeous solid hardwood cabinets. Some speakers, like Harbeth's, are made of birch plywood and then veneered over the top. | |
| VPI Enthusiasts: Going Backwards? I know there is a lot of positive chatter about the Classic but I cannot for the life of me see where the supposed improvement comes from over the Aries/Scout designs. I'll admit, I have not heard it but I just don't get it and am inclined to agre... | |
| Room Setup Question Elescher:Thanks for your input. The problem with putting the speakers on the short wall is one speaker will block access to the room. This is true for both ends of the room. Does anyone have thoughts on what impact the openings into the hallway wi... | |
| How far do you sit from your speakers FWIW I just finished reading Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" and he recommends a slightly elongated triangle where the distance between the speakers (measured tweet to tweet) is 83% of the distance from your ear to either tweeter. Of course there a... | |
| Moscode 402AU vs Modwright KWA-150 Mca:If you haven't already, I would suggest you speak with Lou. I know he thinks very highly of the KWA-150 with his speakers. | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Cmalak:Thank you for doing the calculation. Can you clarify what it means to be at the upper end of the desired range? How far toward the extreme ends of the range (or outside the range) would you have to go before you experienced sonic degradatio... |
