| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors I wasn’t very impressed with the VPI protractor - too many potential error points. My current table came with a similar protractor. It has the same problem, most notably the poor choice of grid lines and somewhat loose fit of the jig. Most of the ... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! We need AudioTroy over here. He'll set everyone straight. | |
| Speaker recomendation Looks as though the dealers spooked the OP. Good job fellas! | |
| Thorens Turntable and new Pearl cartridge Sounds like you might have an intermittent break somewhere in your tonearm wiring. | |
| Upgrading integrated...Vinnie Rossi Lio, Primaluna Dialogue, Used Moon? I don't believe Rotel has similar genealogy to Yamaha. I've heard some Rotel amps, (can't remember the exact model) and they didn't sound like Yamahas. The Yammies have a somewhat unique way of being very clear and dynamic without being clinical o... | |
| Cartridge replacment time @chakster,Those Glanz cartridges certainly look impressive but I'd question the condition of the suspension material after "decades" of storage. I'd probably be willing to take a gamble if he were asking $200. | |
| Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k? Who needs a forum when we have the Audio Doctor? | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @chakster At no point in this thread has the OP yet mentioned that he bought a Technics. HR of Stereophile conducted side by side tests of a mkii 1200 and PLX-1000, using the same carts. His conclusion is that they're equals in performance. So oth... | |
| Cartridge replacment time IMO, it’s impossible to beat the Shure M97xe and Jico SAS combo for a MM in that price range. It's not an ideal compliance match for your arm, but if the Grado worked, so the Shure surely will (pun intended). | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... ^ I think it's the result of shipping. The bias is adjusted by simple trim pots on the top of each amp channel, near the heatsinks. Yamaha should be using some sort of tamper putty on them, unfortunately they don't and I wouldn't be surprised if r... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @chakster What does it matter that Pioneer markets to DJs? The table is no less good for it. One might even argue that it’s benefited from it in the form of greater torque and mass over the 1200s. It also has a damped tonearm and detachable cables... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G The Pioneer PLX will certainly keep up with a used 1200. I've handled both and the Pioneer actually felt like the higher quality table. It even had less visible platter runout. But don't take my word for it (or that of any YouTube amateur), compar... | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? Golden Ear Triton one’s achieve this by a severe boost around 10 kHz. If that’s the sound you want, you need to sculpt the HF response. https://www.stereophile.com/content/goldenear-technology-triton-one-loudspeaker-measurements<< shiver >... | |

| Upgrading integrated...Vinnie Rossi Lio, Primaluna Dialogue, Used Moon? Yamaha A-S2100. It will pair very well these speakers and power all of them with ease. Solid state bass and dynamics with tube-like bloom. |
