| Pro Sound XLR Cables? Several years back one of the reviewers for Stereophile used a cable made by Canare for balanced interconnects. I believe the model was Star Quad. It may have been Quad Star, but that's close. His "claim" was that for the price and the ability to ... | |
| The Lengths You ve Gone Through When I ordered my VPI HW-19 Mk 4 TT I had it delivered to my office in downtown Chicago. From the office I carried both boxes 7 city blocks (7/8 of a mile) to the train. When I got off the train I had to carry them about another 1/4 mile to the ca... | |
| In wall speakers There was a previous thread on this very subject. You may want to review it for some additional recommendations. Thanks, Doug | |
| SME 3012 Upgrades Flabarbara, Sorry about that I completly forgot about Flat Earth Audio. Thanks, Doug | |
| SME 3012 Upgrades Try the SME website first (www.sme.ltd.uk/). They are very helpful when asked questions. Eventually you will have to deal with Sumiko (assuming you live in the U. S.). Dealers advertising SME will also be helpful. If you have any trouble let me kn... | |
| Dustcovers.. on or off... Whenever a black biscuit is spinning the dust cover is conveniently lying on the floor. Thanks, Doug | |
| thank you all i already feel the suppot. In addition to all of the great suggestions you will get from the members here you should find a local High-end dealer that you can work with. Since you state that you are a classical musician I will make the assumption that you are in or near a l... | |
| Vibrapods under speakers Sdcampbell, we have discussed this before. In the speakers section look for "Vibrapods and Speakers". The last post was 1/29/01. Thanks, Doug | |
| Tubes vs Solid State I do not know of any amps ever that have been made of Stainless Steel. | |
| Speaker punishing bass Joysjane, Your post made me curious. I pulled my copy of the "1812" to see if there was any clue as to the frequencies. The jacket notes state "The initial "crack" of the cannon upon ignition of the powder charge (which variously lies in the 2,000... | |
| Have I been slow to catch on or what... I think we often expect too much from a magazine review. We want the reviewers to tell us what or what not to buy. When this is the case we are asking someone else to make a decision for us and that's not good. The fact, as I see it, is that the e... | |
| Shure V-15vmr VS V-15 III Michael Fremer had some comments on the current version of the V-15 in a recent Analog Corner in Stereophile. Try the archives section on their website (www.stereophile.com). If you are unable to find it, let me know and I will look through the ba... | |
| Upgrade to balanced XLR interconnects? Before you make the switch listen to cables of the same brand and model that you are interested in. There are distinct differences in the sound characteristics between single ended and balanced interconnects of the same brand and model. I agree wi... | |
| Need Help with System Dan2112, The SAMA that I spoke of is the Stand Alone Motor Assembly that VPI has for the HW-19 series turntables. After reading some of the posts after my first and some of your additional thoughts you should probably go with the cartridge replace... | |
| Speaker punishing bass If you are able to find a vinyl version of the "1812" recording that Estrnad mentions in the first post, you will also have the opportunity to punish your tonearm and cartridge at the same time you punish your woofers. Good Luck, Doug |
