| 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... | |

| 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 ... | |
| Hooking up Vmps RM40s Landscapes, Run your wires from your amp to the top (bass) posts, and run the jumpers from there to the bottom posts (mid/treble). I'm a VMPS owner/demonstrator. If this doesn't do it, you will need to call Brian Cheney at VMPS for more help. | |
| Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K I had the Emerald Physics CS-2s and could never get the high end to sound remotely alive--clean but no live factor at all--and that was with the upgraded crossover. The listed efficiency is only for the speakers--with the crossover connected, the ... | |
| Best 2CH SACD Player for $2k Or Less, New or Used? Abind, I've had both mods on a Sony 9000--VSE and Modwright. The Modwright's sound was such an unbelievably great sound and improvement on anything I'd ever heard in my system up to that point (Ayre CX-7 was the previous winner although I didn't b... | |
| Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K VMPS 626R's with megawoofers, soundcoat, fst tweeter, and auricaps (mids and tweeters are ribbon drivers). Combine it with VMPS sub that is adjustable to your room (the larger or 215 w/ woofer upgrade). The combination is dynamic, see through clea... | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? Most improvement for the money is spent on good bass traps in the 2 corners behind the speakers. In my room, I heard no difference in putting 2 more in the 2 corners behind my listening seat. I have Real Traps minis in the 2 behind the speakers an... | |

| Best 2CH SACD Player for $2k Or Less, New or Used? Look into a used Modwright Sony 9100 w/tube power supply and if you could find a used Modwright 5400 with the same ps even better. The Modwright mod on it is disarmingly good sounding compared to the standard and is as good sounding as any player ... | |
| need to down size to monitors There are no finer sounding monitors than VMPS 626R's with auricaps, fst ribbon tweeter, sound deadening, and megawoofers. The clarity and dynamics will amaze you along with the beauty of the sound. They can go within 1 ft. of the rear wall but wi... | |
| need help choosing a mid bass sub for a diy Look into VMPS subs. They have kits for diy, but they also sell fully assembled subs with and without built-in amps. The sound is adjustable to any room or system and the sound is deep, tight, dynamic, and musical. You would not be dissappointed. ... |
