| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? As far as Peter Lederman's advice on anti skate, remember he sells a cartridge with a cactus needle cantilever!LOL! | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke @Dave 72Right On! | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Just Try It Both Ways!IT IS NOT THAT HARD!I use the JMW arm, and have NO twist in the cable, and no "Dangling" weight type anti skate that vibrates.I hear no inner grove distortion in any of my 2,000 Lp's, through my speakers, or STAX SR-009 headp... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Unsubscribe to all audio magazines, do not visit audio internet forums, and stay out of high end stores!Buy more music, and enjoy your system as is!Only buy new equipment, when the existing can not be repaired! | |

| Tube life in preamp. Please help The best tubes for the various SP-9's are rare NOS that go now for $75 and up, each. They are getting rare!I have used all of the SP-9 models for years.These tubes can last 5000 to 10000 Hours.ARC can still repair, and refurbish, to original state... | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k Bookshelf speakers for 3 to 6K? WTF? WHY?Bookshelf speakers reproduce "Midgets Playing Music" !Get good large speakers for "life Size" sound imaging! | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX Airy 3 X SB...good match? The silver base on ZYX cartridges is not the same as adding a flat head shell weight, like the VPI weight.The silver base is not flat on the bottom, but contoured to fit "up to" and contact, the moving coil "engine", and damp vibrations throughout... | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? Elizabeth was deaf in one ear.I would not take her advice on sonics as worth anything! | |
| Distance from the front wall for magnepan mg 20.7 If you add a sub woofer you will screw up bass imaging and depth!You should be able to get flat bass response to 25 Hz, if you know what you are doing.There is next to nothing below below 25 Hz musically! | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? @SchubertI have usually liked your posts here at Audiogon.I live a half mile from Roseville, perhaps you would like to hear my system someday.Send me a message if interested. | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings DG Lp's rarely show up on "best sounding" Lp lists!That says it all! | |
| VPI JMW 12.7 Spindle/pivot distance @Brf You are right!One of many reasons VPI made "NO" significant performance improvements after the original JMW 10 and 12, IMO.The originals are also easier to adjust, and therefore optimize the setup. The dropped counterweight is a PITA! | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I drive a 2015 Subaru 2.5i Premium Outback.Practical, reliable, and great in Minnesota winters.Any, more expensive car would cut into my audio budget! | |
