| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? I owned the xp-25 for 5 years. Excellent phono stage. I have also heard the xp-15 im my system and the xp-25 is a step above in sound quality. Have not heard the xp-17 . | |
| Phono preamp Pass Labs XP-17 or XP-27 I used to own the XP-25 phono and listened to the XP-15 quite a bit before I bought the XP-25. The XP-25 was quite a bit better than the 15. almost every aspect of the music was better, especially the flow of the music and dynamics, both macro an... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment @billstevenson Hi Bill. thanks for the reply. Given the 3 tables you mention, logic dictates Yip used Stevenson. the VPI alignment jig, Harry says its designed to have the least distortion in the last 3rd of the LP so similar to Stevenson. As we... | |

| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment those japanese tonearms that use Stevenson did it only by ignorance of those designers of what I posted here to bimasta. Really Raul.I have tried my P3 and P10 with Baer and Uni-din alignment. I prefer the sound of Stevenson with these two Jap... | |

| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Isn't CD a dead format these days? Hilarious that vinyl will outlive it.anyone that says vinyl destroys itself after every play is an idiot. set your cartridge up correctly and your vinyl records will last longer than you. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD As the father of two teenage daughters - they could care less about CD or vinyl. Streaming is where it is at - same with 99.99 people under the age of 21. They still love music, but don’t really care about the absolute SQ. My Daughters know vinyl ... | |
| Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy You should also pass on the audiophool mofi inner sleeves as well. | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? I had to check the date: nup, not April 1st :-)If you really think your fingers are going to seep oils onto the vinyl, white gloves is not the answer. surgical sterile dental gloves would be the correct choice and give you a better change of actua... | |
| Stones mono box set thoughts on audio quality I have the Stones mono vinyl box set. It is wonderful. very happy with the set. sound quality varies from album to album but overall its better than I have heard before. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Accuphase C-37. wonderful sounding phono stage with 3 inputs that save the settings and the MM stage has 100K as well as 47K.I used to own the Pass XP25 and Esoteric E-03. the Accuphase handily sounds better.cheers | |
