| CDP choices-Looking for advice Another thought on a redbook only player is the Lector 0.6t that is presently listed for sale here. No relation or knowledge of this seller, but I personally use this unit and find it exceptional at this pricepoint. It has a true tube output, not ... | |

| Cabling with a single vendor-new experience for me I have a similar setup with Zu Wylde ICs, Libtec speaker cables, and Mother PCs. The system sounds amazing and I truly believe there is synergy with these single source cables. | |
| Differences between Polk Monitor 7? The main difference was the tweeters used IMO. The original Monitor 7A and early 7B used a Peerless tweeter and the later models used a Polk tweeter. The Peerless is considered to be superior by many. Polk Audio has an extensive forum on their web... | |
| Room Setup Question Your description mirrors my present listening room and positioning. (No someone would not be happy about the rack placement) Your thoughts are correct about the minimal side reflections. I recently placed absoption panels behind my speakers that a... | |
| Review: Jim Smith Home Consultation & Set Up Speaker Agree with Hoff48 - Buy the book. After years of improving equipment, trying different combinations and setups, one hour of listening to Jim at a show then reading his book allowed me to improve my system more in one afternoon than I could imagine... | |
| How important is ext. adj. for cartridge loading You seem to have covered all requests and indicated what they would cost. IMHO the real question is your last one stated i.e. the pocket book vote.

Rear switch for the MM to MC would be best as previously noted. External access, front or back, for all adjustments since many indiv... | |
| Tubes for CJ EV-1 phono pre Call and talk to Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Discuss with him what you are looking for in the sound and listen to his suggestions. Great testing, quiet tubes and worth the purchase price for every tube I have bought from him. www.vintagetubeser... | |
| din cable recommendation Previously had a Zu Cable Xaus and found it to be excellent. Upgraded to a different arm that had integrated cables is the only reason I parted with them. | |
| tube rolling first-timer Sorry for not investigating the curcuit first. I would still roll the 12ax7s first and note the change. Possibly trplace the original 12ax7s back in and then change the 12a7t. This way you can hear what affect each one can have. Finally roll all a... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions Once you clean on a RCM like a VPI 16.5 the final vaccum cycle is known to possibly generate some static charge. I use my Zero Stat after the RCM before playing or storing to reduce the charge and decrease future dust attraction. Static's main iss... | |
| tube rolling first-timer I would always keep your pairs the same as they usually effect each channel (one tube operating in each channel's circuit)and you want the same tone or signature sound from each channel. Change out the 12AX7 to the Tele. pair you have and leave in... | |
| Universal remote for audio only I bought the Logitec Harmony 1000 to use with my home theater but programed it to control my Lector CDP and VAC pre (both were avaliable in logitec's database) and it now is at my side during all listening sessions. |
