| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? @ozzy Based on your limited experience with the SR risers, it is apparent that something is wrong with the SR Youtube demonstration which indicates a vast change in sound with only 3 risers per channel, installed and removed. https://www.youtu... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help I concur that those 50's/60's McIntosh lower power amps were phenomenal.The MC30s drove my Legacy Focuses which have low impedances. Stock, they are rather limited in bass and highs but the best mids ever. The 1990s SS McIntosh amps were unable t... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. Or get a nice Jelco or used SME IV or V arm. You will have bass with it and a VPI table like you wouldn’t believe. I never had a bass issue even with the SME IV and VPI 19-4 until 2005. It smokes Project and Rega tables and with the SDS, is truly ... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? @rspyder You said that you have had SR cable risers for several years. I thought the SR cable risers with the ECT like device is new. What do your cable risers look like? Are they the same?@tyray Thanks, I'm going to buy those right now as th... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? I read all the posts. +1 goose. Without the 32 HFTs in my custom listening room I would need extensive quadradic diffusion paneling on the front and rear walls. The side and ceiling surfaces have extensive absorption paneling. The sound in thi... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? I haven’t read all three pages of posts yet and will delete if necessary but these are not ordinary cable risers. Note that they have a red ECT looking device on each one. This is probably the reason that using these risers focus the sound. Whethe... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. @chakster I agree with all you wrote concerning DD tables except for the last statement. Note that VPI makes belt, rim and DD driven tables, all with noteworthy, high quality sound potential. It's not a matter of quality, only the end result tha... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. cackster-I fully agree with you. DD is a standard in disc cutting and DD can be equal to BD. As to the $5000 HRX, if it is sold with the upgraded platter and an SDS unit, yes, it's still a great TT. If it includes a decent arm such as my SME IV... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. @jeffvegas I also suggest the new Technics SL1200G as a sound audiophile TT. It is reasonably priced, durable and is superior to the prior DJ iterations. There are several very high end DD TTs now including VPI. Technics made some great DD TTs ... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. I would recommend a VPI 19-4 first for the price, then a Scoutmaster or Aries on the used market. I do not like the Project tables at the same price as used VPIs and read that Rega tables under $2,000 have speed problems (too fast). One problem me... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. I own a VPI 19-4 and a VPI TNT 6, both tricked out. The 19-4 has an Ultracraft unipivot and the TNT has a tricked out SME IV and Benz Ruby 3. The unipivot was not my favorite for LPs (bought the SME 7 years later) but it does sound great with a ... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! I generally listen to the entire album unless it has (in classical music) a particular piece worth listening to and not the other(s). Often one side will sound superior to the other side of the record (factual statement as to pressing differences... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I was thinking about trying SR UEF Cable Risers next. I found the SR Blackbox sucked the life out of recordings by cutting off frequencies above 8Khz. The UEF Cable Riser demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVIKxulyLNY may indicate a similar... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Moving from my former good quality media room to my great/expensive/custom engineered designed listening room was an eye opener. The same very good/not SOTA audio system became a fabulous sounding system, making 30 year old, very good speakers so... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Well, Acoustic Fields and Vicoustic sell superior quality and higher cost quadradic diffusion as well as other acoustic treatments. The HFT on the back of my Legacy Focus has to be placed between the two upper ports and the lower subwoofer driver.... |
