| which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT I owned a WTT Classic for many years and used it very successfully with a Benz Ruby 2. The WTT will work with a wide variety of cartridges although I would recommend you stay within medium compliance cartridges for ease of use and best results. Yo... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Well Raul,I am laughing about this. I guess I thought it was a "given" that everyone likes their system. Why would they have purchased the components? Let me put it this way. After 3 days at RMAF earlier this month, I found myself not lusting over... | |
| Cartridges - what have you owned and your opinion I have owned two Benz Ruby 2s - Low Output - over the last 10 years. I have had those mounted in a Well Tempered TT and now a Raven AC w/Tri-Planar VII U2. First let me say that I never really knew what the cartridge could do until my Raven/Tri se... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI You've got that right Doug! My feelings exactly .Good meeting you at the reception! | |
| Turntable upgrade or not ? Sidssp,If I implied that there was an absolute in quality v/s price levels regarding equipment, it was not my intention. You are correct, many costly components don't live up to the price point. If you read my comments, I am clearly trying to keep... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Learsfool,I think you are not understanding my point. I'm not talking about a universally biased set of ears because of where you are sitting in the orchestra, only how it is perceived by any musician in real time playing based upon where you sit ... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Seriously folks, think about the cost issue for a moment. $25.00 for the VPI wand which has to be replaced at least once a year if you are cleaning records regularly. $80.00 for the Walker wand which will probably never have to be replaced. And yo... | |
| Turntable upgrade or not ? The audio rule of upgrading holds true. If you want to substantially increase performance, you ususally have to double the money spent. So if your table is in the $5K range, look to spend $10K to really get the jump in performance. In the meantime... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Raul,How true. Having played in quite a few orchestras over many years in many halls, I have to say that your observation is spot on. It is next to impossible to hear the whole performing group from your own seat even if you are not playing. If yo... | |
| What would you chose? I would consider two upgrades and splitting the bucks to do so. First, I would definitley add the VPI Motor Controller to your Scout. You will be amazed at the difference it makes to your analog playback. Second, I would sell the CJ PV 15. This is... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? OK, if we are getting nostalgic over bygone audio days, let me say that a close friend and I have spent many hours over coffee remembering our misspent youth in the mid-1960s during which we spent rainy days at Sam Goody in Philadelphia when it wa... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Raul,A few years ago I was talking to another audiophile at a show. We were discussing gear we had heard during the day and he mentioned a new and pricey cd player he had recently purchased. It became clear during our conversation that he believed... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Dear Raul,You do me honor to have mentioned and praised my system during your trip to San Diego. Only in this crazy hobby could a system retailing at about $50K be considered a "budget" system, my words not yours. You are so right about high end a... | |
| Matching Cartridge to Hovland Phono Based on the specs you are showing, the match for cart. loading should be OK. I own the Hovland and I use a Benz Ruby 2 LO. The Hovland is designed to work well with just about any cart. out there providing low noise and excellent dynamics with a ... | |
| Suggestions for an effective record cleaning kit?? I have owned both a Nitty Gritty 1.0 and now a VPI 16.5. I prefer the 16.5 for its automation, but an automated Nitty Gritty might be just as easy and effective to use. I am not familiar with Premier spray on cleaner. Most spray cleaners in cans I... |
