| Harbeth Compact 7-ES3 Speakers I think your room is too square and too small to use a subwoofer. I ran a pair of Compact 7's in an 11 X 11 room for a while (not by choice) and there was barely enough space for them. Yours at 12 X 14 should be fine, but borderline. I would sell ... | |
| Audio Research DSI 450 vrs. HD 220 against all tu Where can I find information or photos of the new DS450? Thanks! | |
| First Post, Looking to buy Amp& Pre, $7,000 If you are considering an ARC LS26 you should give the ARC SD135 serious consideration as a partner. Absolutely wonderful amp. | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout No, I have not heard it yet and am certainly open to a change of heart but it just baffles me that it could be that much better given what I've read about the design elements. I'll have to give it a spin and see for myself. | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout Well, I've read the Audio Beat review as well as (most) of the posts at the linked forum and I'm not convinced. First, I fail to see how a motor mounted to the plinth of the Classic (no matter how well isolated) can introduce less vibration than t... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout I'm wondering what makes the Classic a better table? I can't see substantial design or engineering improvements over the Scout series that would account for significantly better sound. Enlighten me please, Classic advocates. | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout Doak: I thought of this and spent a fair amount of time looking for a table that would work in my application that would substantially outperform the Scout without spending more than double the price--I came up empty. With the XX2MKII now installe... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout OK, it was interesting. I began by checking the setup on my 20XM to see whether I got it right with the VPI jig and a basic Shure stylus gauge. First, I checked the tracking force. I had carefully used the Shure gauge and thought I had it set at 1... | |
| VPI Scout Rear Stub Measurement Worked beautifully--thanks. Now I can adjust the tracking force in minor increments without screwing up the azmuth. | |
| Bought Some Music Friday Still working through the pile...The Neil Young Archives remastered LP's are totally forgetable. I've now listened to both AGR and Harvest and my German pressings are at least as good. Also, the Archives versions come with crappy paper sleeves to ... | |
| VPI Scout Rear Stub Measurement Romaxim--you rock. Thanks. | |
| VPI Scout Rear Stub Measurement Stringreen:The early Scouts do not have the threaded insert. Mine is one of those. Thanks though. | |
| Bought Some Music Friday Not too bad this trip since I spent too much time at the Triumph brewery and only had about 30 minutes in PREX! | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout Cmalak:The Mint Tractor arrived today and a digital stylus force gauge should be here by the weekend. I plan to redo the setup with the 20XM and then put the Scout back in the system to see what improvements can be wrought from a more precise setu... | |
| ARC 100.2 Vs McCormack DNA-1 Not a direct response to your post but you may want to look at the results of the ARC amp shootout we did over Labor Day weekend. Of related interest to your question is how the SD135 compared with the DNA500. It may give you something to think ab... |
