| What cartridge on your VPI prime? I used the VPI jig. I have a Mint ordered. Still sounding "fuzzy" so will continue to tweak today. I have it set at 100 ohms into a Manley Chinook and adjusted the azimuth various times? Are you using anti-skate. I tend not to but I hooked that u... | |
| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system You can get a Manley Chinook used for under $1500. Highly recommend this phono stage.....tons of loading options and of course some tube rolling. Good luck. | |
| What cartridge on your VPI prime? Glad you got it installed. After installing it yesterday it sounded pretty good for my first install. But today it seems pretty "fuzzy." I relooked at VTF (2.75) and played with VTA some and even changed loading (200, 100, and 50) but just doesn'... | |
| What cartridge on your VPI prime? Jmcgrogan....I just installed a Cadenza Bronze on my Prime today. I had a 2M Bronze on it and thought I could just use the same mounting screws....but no. Just like you they didn't work. All the screws by themselves were to short or to long. But I... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Well, You've taught me more...which isn't hard :) I think if I get the WA6-SE I will get without the pre out and use the splitters per your option 4. I don't think I want to mess with the LM preamp and all the possible issues. Yes it's interestin... | |

| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Thanks again. Woo Audio replied that the WA2 is an OTL and is not good for the LCD-3 but for 200-600 ohm impedance, so that's that. I'm leaning towards the WA6-SE and will probably have them add a pre-out ($125). Then I can either use that, or j... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Hi Al…yes that is your number 4 approach. I will either do that and get a headphone amp that has two inputs; or get one with the pre out and hook it into my amps pre in. I talked to my LM 518 amp dealer and he didn't see any problem with either ... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Thank you Al....you've helped me understand a lot more. I sent an email to Woo Audio asking their opinion about using LCD-3s with their WA2. That seems to be a good possibility as long as it is enough.Someone at work told me I could get a splitt... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Thanks Al. I didn't realize the GS-X was $2800. Saw $699 but that was only for 1/4? Odd way to advertise. Would you do me a favor? Can you look at the specs for the Woo Audio WA-2 and WA-22? Those seem to also be preamps with headphone output a... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? I recently purchased a pair of Audeze LCD-3 (haven't received them yet). Yes, I don't want to necessarily use the Marantz's headphone amp, and want to be able to use with the turntable primarily. I saw this unit, a HeadAmp GS-X, which seems to m... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Thanks Al. Yes, the second statement is correct: 3 line level inputs and 1 pre-input. I have a Manley Chinook phono preamp, and a Marantz 6005 CD player. My cables are not unusually long. Seems like #3 or #4 above make more sense at least to ... | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? I don't have a tape out connect. I only have the three line in and one pre-in? | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe Thanks Lewm. The unit I purchased came with 3 vacuum tubes, labeled 1-3. The previous owner apparently used a three step cleaning process, switching out the tubes for each cleaning step. Not sure I will have that level of patience....maybe 2? ... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe Hey Lewm: can you expand on what you see as the vacuum velvet pad "issue," and what precautions you take regarding this? I just purchased a used HW17 and need to develop my cleaning technique. Thanks! |
