| Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help Try hanging from the ceiling first. Really won't cost much to try. May be ugly, but you may be surprised how well it works. I had to do that in my apartment, and even though there was an apartment above me, worked well. Just got a platform and cab... | |
| Help amp for Vandersteen 3A sig w/ Anthem pre 2L I'm using the Channel Islands D200's on my 3A Sigs and prefer it to the McCormacks I had for years. While the D200's are a bit above your budget, the D100's are within it. Less power but comparable sound. IMHO, it's a great match. | |
| VPI Scout damping fluid I had the same problem and was told by VPI to try to tighten the allen screw first. That didn't work so I sent it in and they replaced it. Great service, by the way. There's no fluid in there. | |
| Duke Ellington I'm surprised no one's mentioned 'Blues in Orbit' Great songs and one of my favorite recordings | |
| CIA D200's Vs. Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monos ? The Modwright was paired with the McCormack. Yes, the Modwright deserves a lot of credit. It was obviously more refined and detailed than the CJ 17LS it replaced. The McCormack wasn't able to present what the Modwright was capable of, at least to ... | |
| CIA D200's Vs. Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monos ? While I can't comment on the Odyssey's, I can attempt to at least inject a shred of useful info into this thread.The Modwright and CIA 200's are really nice together as you've heard. I think they really shine on jazz and vocals, really revealing n... | |
| Vandersteen 3a Sigs, McCormack DNA 125, preamp? Another vote for Modwright. I used it with a McCormack on 3 sigs. Great preamp. | |
| Amplifier for Vandersteen 3A sigs? I'm using the Channel Islands D200's. They replaced my long time favorite McCormack. They added transparency and detail, retaining the top and bottom extension. The McCormack had a slight perceived warmth edge, but I'm not so sure the warmth wasn'... | |
| SCOUTMASTER TO ARIES 3 Joneill.. Did VPI discount the cost of the flywheel combo in exchange for your 300rpm motor? I haven't found an upgrade path other than purchasing the combo. | |
| Vandersteen 3a sigs- Tube or SS Channel Islands D200 have replaced my McCormack on my 3 sigs. The McCormack is an excellent choice, but the CI D200's are better IMHO. The main distinction is midrange clarity and low level detail. The McCormack seems to have the deeper soundstage... | |
| Where to buy SACD's ? Also check out yourmusic.com. They have a few sacd's at $5.99. | |
| Is the Kab Speedstrobe necessary with the VPI SDS? I use a stopwatch. Probably not as accurate but close enough for me. | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. That's the upgrade to get in my opinion. If your cartridge isn't low compliance, get the wire upgrade. If it is, maybe consider just the wand. The damping helps too but my cartridge is low compliance so it did make some impact as expected. No cont... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. The difference I hear is very subtle. Without antiskate, the left channel sounds more dynamic, a little more alive, than the right. With the antiskate at the highest setting, the left channel is a little less dynamic, and balance seems to shift sl... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Twisting the wires is also a mechanical solution to antiskating, isn't it?I'd be more interested in hearing from HW himself. I'm not aware of any comments from him since coming out with the device. We can only postulate what he's thinking now. I w... |
