Audiofeil - Do you feel that VPI's 10 inch arms (10.5i) are in the same category of arms as the 9 series? ie. not optimized for top shelf cartridges with lower compliances like the Shelter, zyx, xv1s etc?Do you feel the same way about all unipivots? | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Before doing "luck of the draw" gear swaps, why don't you measure your system's frequency response? Bass "slam and extension" and "lean-ness" should be easily able to be measured.Measure your system both with and without the preamp, and compare th... | |

| Dynaudio C1 Bass The C1s should extend flat to about 40hz. Have you measured them?They are a great sounding speaker, but by no means will they do the 20-40hz octave. Just not gonna happen with 1 7" mid/bass driver | |
