2K-3K Cartridge for SME10/BAT VK-P10SE superpak
I also have the vkp10se superpak but use it with the VPI TNT6 table. I have tried the shelter cartridges and thought they were great. The best for me is the Air Tight. Works well with the sensitivity of the BAT. I also have not had problems with p... 
Sub. with full range speakers ?
I added a DD15 to my wilson WP7 speakers. Nice improvement. Then I added a second hooked up in stereo. Big difference! May work the same for your speakers. I know that some say that the rel is more musical. However, the computerized room correctio... 
Ear protection for concerts
Any audiologist that fits hearing aids can make you a noise protecting ear plug. (like the rock stars use) Some plugs will attenuate only the high frequency sounds while others the entire frequency range. 4000hz is the most important area to prote... 
Table/Cartridge price ratio
I feel that the cartridge is more important than the turntable. I have tried several cartridges in the Shelter line. Each time moving up the chain and always appreciating the sonic improvements. Like many products in the Audio industry, sonic diff... 
Is two Subs better than One?
Lynhnn you split right and left out of Pre Amp into two pairs and run each pair to each Sub. Therefore the right Sub becomes the right channel and left, the left channel.Each sub needs to be equalized separately. The DD series connects the master ... 
Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
Well it works for me! When TeaJay suggested I try the Acoustic Revive it was with a slight reservation in his voice. I did not take it to mean that he was recommending something he didn't believe in; but rather a concern that I may start discounti... 
Is two Subs better than One?
2 Subs Sound better to me. After all the opinions I thought I would buy a second DD15 Subwoofer. After setting it up but not yet finely tuning it; the volume needed to be decreased to synch with my Wilson 7's. I could definitely sense a fuller bet... 
Stereophile claims about Magico
I also felt that Absolute Sound's article was much better. Infact, actually correct if you read between the lines. "The V3's top two octaves were brighter than the Salon2's, resulting in a more open and airy presentation, but one that lacked the S...

Is two Subs better than One?
Bob Reynolds, great paper just what I was looking for. The paper seamed to say that a fixed position 2 channel System does not have a problem like the multi channel multi seat position environment. Therefore, is it safe to say that one sub in the ...

Shelter 5000/7000/9000?
I have the 901 and the 9000. Both are great Cartrides. However, the higher the "food chain" the more dimensional, smoother and transparent the sound gets. The 9000 was nirvana until I just bought the Air tight. I do not feel that anything is lacki... 
Computer output to DAC, which route?
Is Ethernet RJ45 better than USB conversion to optical or XLR coax? The Linn Klimax Ds chose it. 
Best protractor for aligning to cantilever
What is the advantage of the Wally over using the setup included with the VPI and JMW arms? The needle needs to be placed over points on the curve. If it is really easier to be more accurate then I would get it But it is $250. 
Why use CD Transport instead of computer source
TBG- what does the Exemplar server do differently? I had always felt that if one separated the computer into two components; one for power, disk drive, Chip/Fan and the other for CD reader, low power electrics ,Clocks and connections, Sound could ...
