| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Mmai, Call Harry at VPI and explain you're turn on pop sound you get. It's been about 1/2 year since I did this and I can't remember the exact numbers on the caps. He'll tell you and a quick trip to radio shack will get it done. About 20 minutes t... | |
| Audio Research Reference 3 vs Modwright LS 36.5? Hard to beat Modwright--and not just for the price. Build quality, SOUND, understated looks, like live, value. | |

| Anticables Review I've had anticables for about 2 years--first with Von Schweikert's early speakers that sounded better biwired, then with Emerald Physics CS-2's, and now with VMPS 626R's with several upgrades and a VMPS VSS subwoofer. It took the anticables severa... | |
| Speakers suggestions for my setup and room please You have the uneviable square room dimensions which is a tough hurdle to overcome. Look to highly adjustable speakers like VMPS which allow you to tailor the sound via tweeter, midrange, and bass adjusting to get the best sound in YOUR room, not j... | |
| Is new better than old? Bought a pair of 5 year old VMPS speakers for 40% of their list price from a Goner and they are the best sounding speaker I've heard in a stereo system. I probably could not have touched this level of sound in a new speaker anywhere close to the p... | |
| what to do with my cat on my speaker grills Lightly spray Nature's Way cat urine remover on just the bottom edge of each speaker (grill). They won't want to be there. I have a cat, but he doesn't get to come into my music room. This stuff works good, but it does have a noxious smell. I don'... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? If you buy a used modified Sony or Denon cd player, you can get pretty spectacular sound for under 1000.00. I have found it very difficult to get great sound in analog for under $1500.00-2000.00. To me, to get great analog sound is going to cost m... | |
| What does Uhqr mean concerning records? At the outrageous price sellers ask for one, you'd get much better sound from Better Record's white hot stampers with an equally lighter wallet. | |
| Modwright Ultimate Sony xa5400 sacd -Review Audioman, Is this your first Modwright product you've owned? They're pretty dang awesome aren't they? I had a 9000 es Signature which changed my thoughts about digital. I'm hoping to get a Modwright 9100 from Dan who says it will sound much better... | |
| Allison One speakers I'd have to disagree with Chashas 1, you put the ones in a corner and the definiton goes down especially in the bass. Louder is not better in this case IMO. If you like tubby, ill-defined bass, put them close, or worse, in the corners. I had a pai... | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 Jimwit, This forum can be very helpful as it can open your mind to different possibilities or in this case, speakers. I'll still stand behind VMPS speakers with auricaps, fst tweeters, megawoofers, and sound deadening as having stunning clarity, d... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Call Harry at VPI and he'll tell you how to replace a capacitor inside the long metal plate under the table on the side opposite the tonearm. There's no soldering. You just go to radio shack and get the correct one, take that plate off, remove the... | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 Macdad, I've heard them all and in my opinion, with the upgraded VMPS speakers, the 3.6 sounds as though there is a thin pillow covering them compared to the clarity and dynamics of the VMPS. For me, if the price were the same, I'd pick the VMPS e... | |
| Anyone heard the Sony SCD-XA5400 mod + others Haven't heard the 5400 but I did have a 9000 with a Modwright mod and have a VSE 9000 on its way to my house in a couple days. I could tell you how they compare if you're interested. By the way, I loved the Modwright. Those are probably the 2 bigg... |
