| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Not to make things more complicated, but there are a couple Rega RP8 and even an RP10 on the used market that are in my price range.Any thoughts on these versus the VPI Prime? Or is the Prime just in a whole other ballpark?Thanks! | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Thank you all for the input. It is all super helpful. Regarding VPI, why do some people dislike the unipivot? I don't have experience with anything other than the Rega RB330, so would be helpful to hear the positives and negatives of the unipivot ... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) @mgolpoor I’ve thought about climbing the Rega ladder, but speaking to my local dealer it didn’t sound like there is a huge jump between the current Rega P3 and P6. You also make a good point about just enjoying the music vs tinkering. I don’t gai... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) @effischer @mulveling What are your thoughts on the Origin Live Silver MK3A tonesarm? This is currently being bundled with a 2016 SOTA Sapphire V. Seems promising. I also just found a used VPI Prime (single owner trade-in) through a dealer at a fa... | |
| Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions So, for those who are interested, I took Johnny R's advice and ended up with an asymmetrical placement for my Treos based on the Vandersteen manual's math. Compared to my initial setup (which I just eyeballed), it is night and day! The soundstage ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions Just wanted to follow up and say that I found a used pair of Audioquest Castle Rock cables for my Vandersteen Treos and have been quite pleased with the results so far. I am still playing around with speaker placement and tweaking the listening he... | |
| Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions @tomic601 Thanks for the generous offer! I will be reaching out to Paul shortly to see what he can do and will report back. | |
| Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions For those of you using Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun cables, how do you recommend bi-wiring these? (my amp only has one pair of speaker terminals)Do you use jumpers, or just stack the spades? Sorry if this is super obvious, but again, new to bi-w... | |
| Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions Thank you all for the input!Does anyone else have experience with the Audioquest GO-4? I made a point to speak with Johnny Rutan, as he reps both Hegel and Vandersteen, and he recommended the same. The consensus online seems to be that Cardas is "... | |
| 160Hegel and DNLA . . . I have an H160, and have only ever experienced loss of connection when two programs are vying for the amp's attention (Audrivana vs. iTunes). The connectivity via Airplay has been flawless, while Audrivana is a bit more finicky over the network. H... | |
| Hegel vs Rogue For those interested, I ended up purchasing a Hegel H160 paired with a LFD LE Phono Stage. The increase in musicality, power, and clarity is quite impressive.Overall I am very happy with the Hegel, both as an amp and as a DAC. The convenience of s... | |
| Hegel vs Rogue Thank you all for the input. This is super helpful and much appreciated. For starters, I’ll try to setup an in home demo of the Hegel, or at the very least go listen at my local dealer. How does the H160 DAC compare to the H300 DAC? I like the add... |
