Aragon Amp Owners: Help With Pre-Amp Synergy
Hi, I have a modded Aragon 3002, a beautiful sounding and powerful amp. I have used with it a Fosgate Audionics pre-pro, a BAT VK30 tube pre, which I loved, but didn't feel was the answer for me, used it for capital to make other changes in my sys... 
Update on VPI and classic rock lps
Hi Sns, I've been following your thread with some interest since you initiated it. I have noticed a wide range of recording quality on lp's, too. I'm glad to hear things are improving. I have a Signature Scout, on Brightstar Bigrock, suspended on ... 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Stringreen, I'm not agonizing in the least. I'm enjoying a sound from my Signature Scout that really satisfies on a level that is hard to believe is coming from said Scout. The VPI jig supplied with the Scout, and other tables, gets you ball-park ...

Just did my set-up with the Mintlp Tractor. I must say, this is a wonderfully precise instrument for cartridge set-up. I found my overhang was off using the VPI jig. My first try, it just didn't sound quite dialed-in. I then checked pivot-to-spind...

Hi Mark, and all, Just thought I'd let you know the Mintlp Best Tractor finally showed up today, intact. Just read manual, and ready to see where I'm really at. Mark, I hope the RCMP didn't take you away. So far, no sign of the Secret Service or F...

Dan ed, Of course I was sent a tracking number. I have since found the package was sent from Jamaica N.Y., on July 11, and my local post office has no record of it, nor is it in their possesion. Hope it turns up. Dan

Mark, FYI, I haven't gotten mine yet either. But then, I haven't heard from Yip, so I keep looking for it every day. Regards, Dan 
lps sound bad
Sns, I too, returned to vinyl to see what all the fuss is about. You've hit upon the one major stumbling block in the listening aspect of vinyl. Recording (mastering and pressing), is all over the map, soundwise. It is disappointing, though things... 
Furutech e -tp60 e
Hi, I'm using an e-tp80, and I don't know if they are identical or not (other than the 2 additioal outlets), but mine has a low-power set of outlets for digital sources, (filtered), another for accessories and pre-amps, (filtered), and a set unfil... 
Can you recommend any Speaker cables for my system?
Hi, Audioangel, I would say they don't have a sound. They just sound like music. They make your system sound like you might have always thought it should sound. At least that's what they do for my system. The more my system has improved, the Syner... 
Can you recommend any Speaker cables for my system?
I have been using Synergistic Research Resolution Reference FX for several years now, and since many folks are trading up to the Tesla line, you can most likely find a set of used S.R. cables to do the job. I even had a loaner set of (actually two... 
Gershman Acoustics Sonogram?
Hello Dinder1, My only experience with these entry-level Gershman speakers was at last year's RMAF. I remember these very well, as they stood out as very good-sounding, comparing very favorably against Gershman's much more expensive models. Very s... 
Is there a big difference or am I wasting money?
Hello Kevin, I would say if you were two-channel only, it would be worth the upgrade. If you have a very well-integrated sub, however, there may not be that much difference between the two in the multi-channel application. In stereo mode you would... 
If I like Dynaudio monitors, I would LOVE?????
Hi, You don't say whether they have to be a monitor or floor-standing speaker, but if you love Dynaudio, why not stick with them, and just go up the line? I was a B&W owner and fan, until I heard tha Dynaudio Contour 3.4's, and thought to myse... 
Using older cable in new system? Need advice...
While the Monster Cable may sound good to your ears, I think you may be very surprised to learn how much difference cable upgrades can make. The best advice I can give you is call The Cable Company, ask for Steve, and consider his recommendations....
