| Help Selecting a Good Tube Phono Stage? I have a decent stock of 12ax and 12au tubes mostly mullards which i think are too dark, tubey, too much mid range so i might look for brighter tubes that might be thiner in the midrange. I have De Capo speakers which may accent the midrange | |
| Help Selecting a Good Tube Phono Stage? Thanks TVADYou confirm what i hear. I have bright 12ax7 tubes in the WPP200c and it helps but it definitely has a bloom in the midtones that is different very rich and organic. I like this the best with classical and the least with rock. It is an ... | |
| Help Selecting a Good Tube Phono Stage? Dear Tvad, I just got my WPP200c and wonder if you could give a description of the sound? I know what i hear just want some comparison in my listening.thanks | |

| Cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster and Bottlehead gear. The Shure and my Seduction are a sweet combo. A tad warm but full even range of tonality. The Seduction with my Grado Gold was nice, great for blues but with classical it was too much mid range and too warm.A higher end grado may work for your JMW... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster and Bottlehead gear. I use a Shure V15VxMRon my HW-19 mkiv with jelco/audioquest arm and my Seduction. Cant speak to the JMW arm but the Shure and the Seduction go very well together. | |

| Jolida 1501rc tube choice for Titus Mullards will balance the hot top of the titus | |
| Which purchase tipped you into nirvana. Tvad has the answer, but it was the De Capos that made my system sing. | |
| Dreaded wall unit Look into the egg crate material that's used in recording studios. We bought some for school and it wasn't outrageous. | |
| Low-cost I/C's I really like the MAC (my audio cables) in my system i have 4 of them plus a PC. Cheap if you buy them off the Gon auctions. | |
| Amp match for B&W 685s I used a Primaluna PL2 with some BW 602 s3's and i wasn't thrilled with the sound ( i know they are not exactly the same speakers). It was too dull, the BW's sound much better with my Cambridge HT receiver. So i wonder if SS is better than tubes w... | |
| Project Acryl-it Platter Well I live in Colorado and the humidity is so low i did have some sticking problems but used double stick tape under the herbies mat to hold it down. | |
| Project Acryl-it Platter I can't discuss the Acyl-it but i had the steel platter with my Pro-ject Xpression TT and the Herbies made a big difference. Better bass tighter sound. If you are thinking of upgrading your table soon put the money into a Herbies mat instead of th... | |
