| VPI setup What about the Audio Additives Digital Stylus Force Gauge for $80 on Music Direct. Reviewed here on Stereophile: http://www.analogplanet.com/content/audio-additives-digital-stylus-force-gauge | |
| VPI setup The other thing I discovered this morning:When adjusting the azimuth ring with the screws slight loosened it can start to slide down and shorten the pivot distance. It took me awhile to realize it had. Thankfully easy to slide back.I'm really appr... | |
| VPI setup Yeah, I'm springing for the Counterintuitive..And I agree that the Shure scale can't be that precise. Anybody have a recommendation for good digital scale? I see a lot of pretty cheap ones, but really do want something that will help me drill down... | |
| VPI setup ARRRGGGHHHH.I got it! I honestly just emailed my local VPI guy asking for a quote for the setup, went back for one more try and I hit it.The problem? The tone arm was not level with the platter. I did one last eyeball, thought it could come down a... | |
| VPI setup OK, good to hear. I will slow down and go over it again, and again as necessary. Will look for the Michael Fremer setup DVD. The instructions with the VPI are pretty spare, at least for a newbie like me. And I am actually getting feedback on the V... | |
| Classe CA2300 - Mark Levinson 532H - Krell FPB300c Thanks. McCormack DNA-750 mono blocks are also in the running.Zd542: is there a particular characteristic an amp would have that's matched with the Vandersteens? I like a sound that is not to far forward and slamming -- which is why I really the V... | |

| Atmas-phere MP-3 MKIII --- opinions? I do realize that I'll need to get a phono preamp, which will bump it up over the Atmas-phere by a grand or two but I think I'm getting much more of a preamp with the Cary, at least IMHO. Brf an anyone else: do you have recommendations given my se... | |
| amp or preamp to extend upper end Rleff I did try almargs suggestion and it actually helped. Although I only had to go up by about 1/2 db.Bdp24 I think my next project (after figuring a good phono preamp) is to considering changing out the Vandersteen 3a, thinking about a pair of ... | |
| amp or preamp to extend upper end Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I found a really good deal on 3 month old Cary SLP-05 tube preamp. Very excited to hear it. I think this will be a great introduction to tubes. | |
| Atmas-phere MP-3 MKIII --- opinions? Well, ended up with a 3 month old Cary SLP-05 for just under what the upgraded Atma-sphere would cost. I think it's a good deal and I'm pretty excited to hear it. Thanks to everyone for your feedback. | |
| Atmas-phere MP-3 MKIII --- opinions? Thanks Clio09 and Bpd24. That all makes good sense. I have quote for MP- 3 of $3,966 then it would $600 each for the power regulator and V-caps upgrade for a total of about $5,200. I'd also need new XLR cables, so probably another $300 on top of t... | |
| amp or preamp to extend upper end Atmasphere: I'm considering the MP-3 MKIII preamp. No experience with tub components, concerned about sacrificing detail and precision given what I've read about tubes from others. Any advice? Thanks. Paul | |
| amp or preamp to extend upper end People: interesting debate -- any thoughts on amp/preamp post? |
