| How a nickel can make a valuable improvement Monticello's main entrance- everyone inside should be able to hear the music. Stringreen, I decided to splurge and spend this enormous amount of money to keep the Paws tight up against the bottom of the table. | |
| Gingko Cloud 9 Scoutmaster I used the Gingko platform on my VPI Super Scoutmaster and had a problem with rocking and vibration of the tonearm. This Gingko model used 2 platforms, one under the table, and a separate one under the motor. The culprit was the tennis balls under... | |
| VPI Classic---replacing stock feet: my experience Stringreen, you are absolutely right about the Bear Paws. Just replaced the feet on my Super Scoutmaster Reference Rimdrive with them- very impressive. Improved depth, imaging, bass, soundstage. A very worthwhile investment. I also changed the sup... | |
| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter Thank you for your responses. I have the Super Platter on my Super Scoutmaster, which is better than the standard acrylic platter that came originally with the table. I read a couple of reviews that give the Classic aluminum platter glowing review... | |
| Is there an average life span for a preamp? I've had my Luxman preamp for over 35 years without any problems whatsoever. | |
| AES Superamp or Quicksilver Mini-Mites? I have owned a pair of Quicksilver Mini-Mites for my midrange horn speakers on a tri-amped system for several months. These are fantastic little amps, extremely quiet, beautifully made, with a clean, dynamic, and musical sound. You can't go wrong ... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Mystere CA21 preamplifier. | |
| SUGGEST A TUBE AMP? I second the Quicksilvers, I own a pair of the Mini-Mites which are great amps. | |
| Tube preamp with the "most" for 1k used, 2k new? Check out the Mystere CA21. Wonderfully natural, musical, dynamic, 3 dimensional, excellent micro and macro dynamics. Bought one a few weeks ago and I continue to be more and more impressed with it each time I listen. | |
| Conrad Johnson ET3, Mystere CA21 or Prima Luna Pre I recently bought the Mystere CA21 and must say this is one beautiful preamp! Wonderfully musical and resolving, this has elevated my enjoyment of my system considerably. Highly recommended. | |
| AntiCables v. Morrow? If you want to see how special and musical the Morrow cables are, try the anticables. You'll appreciate them even more. | |
| AntiCables v. Morrow? I had the anticables- full set of interconnects with Eichmann bulletplugs, and full set of speaker cables. They were very clear, but stripped the music of any emotional involvement, presented a one dimensional soundstage, and were not very musical... | |
| Mystere CA 21 Preamp I just got the Mystere CA-21 and am very impressed. Excellent build quality and finish. I went from a high-end Luxman solid state preamp I've had for 35 years to this preamp. Music flows very naturally, soundstage is very deep and wide, natural an... | |
| 12s cable for perpetual tech. Dac It made a significant improvement compared to the the stock 13W3 I2S cable which came with my Muse DAC and transport. It was expensive but well worth it in my sytem IMO. The sound improved in various ways, including better tighter bass, larger and... | |
| 12s cable for perpetual tech. Dac Revelation Audio labs in Palm Coast Florida does I2S cables in both size fittings. They made mine for the larger I2S cable for a Muse DAC several years ago and did a fantastic job. Check out revelationaudiolabs.comI have no affiliation with the co... |
