| Racks: Box Funriture vs Sistrum I built my own very high quality furniture style rack complete with nice adjustable points at the 4 corners and used in for years. It was very strong, looked great, and I thought it was absolutely fine and functional. I was very surprised when I b... | |

| Floorstanders or stand-mounted with a sub? I didn't have what you have, but I did have a fully loaded pair of VMPS 626Rs w/ a VMPS VSS/215 sub and the sound was absolutely beautiful, dynamic, clear. I also had the VMPS RM30s fully loaded with a Maestro sub that I didn't like as well. That ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Thanks Donjr. I need all the help I can get. Hope it eventually works. You'd think she'd get tired of watching TV. | |
| Recommendation If you don't mind buying used, check out VMPS 626R monitors. They have been called the finest sounding monitors at any price. You could probably get a used pair for right around your price range. If they have upgrades such as auricaps, megawoofers... | |
| Why is there little interest in RTS couplers? Have you actually heard a system prior to its use, and then at least 10 days after it's in the system to compare the sound?The problem in my eyes is the inability for the company to do a QUICK before and after on the spot demo because of the need ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Hey Donjr. That is some great stuff. Your wife feels the connection you both have and it's not just your hobby. I have NO doubt most wives and girlfriends find the interest in the assembling the top flight system that we 'audiofools' have is quite... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma I am also partial to the tube pre and ss amp. I have an Audible Illusions 3A w/John Curl MC phono section and had the AI 2D for over 20 years and loved it. Only traded up to the 3A so I could go back to using low output MC cartridges. The 3A is qu... | |
| Norah Jones Agree with most comments used already--she's well known, sometimes the music gets a little sleepy or repetitive, the music backing her singing is usual very nice. Just got Herbie Hancock's cd River, The Joni Letters. Songs Joni Mitchell wrote or s... | |
| Review: Audio Horizons RTS Coupler Tweak Hey Bazza, Nice review. I have Sistrum racks in my system and their theories are in the same park. Did you try using the RTS couplers with a turntable at all? I have a super Lenco using the 10-layered 100 lb. plinth ala Jean Nantais uses in the th... | |
| Someone in Chicago to help with Maplenoll Ariadne? I had an Ariadne for 10 years. Took me 6 months to finally get it working perfectly. The hoses are always a concern along with the pump. Use small plastic ties like for bundling wires together or a wire by a hose in your car. Slip the part through... | |
| Help me pick some speakers If you can find a used pair of VMPS 626Rs for under $1000.00, you will not find a better sounding speaker for the money. Even the 626jr are very good. If someone is willing to part with theirs now that you can't get them new anymore. If it has the... | |
| What three shelf stand should I purchase? Depending on your amount you want to spend, the Sistrum racks from Star Sound are steel platforms in a triangular shape that fasten with infinite adjustability to steel 3 steel rods which have microbearings inside one sleeve of the rods. There are... | |
| Is a Doge 8 Clarity preamp noisy with an 0.4 mc? Thanks Pdspec1. Does anyone else have some experience that wouldn't mind sharing the info? | |
| I love my VPI Scout I've had both the Scout and the Classic with all the upgrades TTWeights sells and the differences aren't that noticable. Howver, I do have a custom wall-mount shelf I made out of oak plywood, trimmed out in oak. It is a perfect size for the Scout ... |
