| Help with UPS and Paypal Sometimes it's just easier on you to give it up, fix the damaged item, and forget about it.Are the speakers totally ruined?I mention this because I know very well how a situation like this can just become too all-consuming of one's energies.Life i... | |
| VPI Aries w/SDS and Flywheel SetUp Question Problem Solved!In talking to VPI, they told me the VOLTAGE on the SDS has to be changed when adding the flywheel. (I don't see this in the manual for the SDS....and I didn't get a manual with the flywheel)Makes sense. There's more mass to turn, an... | |
| B&W Nautilus 800's vs my Tannoy D-700's ??? Well thanks guys, after all this research and hearing a majority of opinions about my D700's, I'm convinced to keep them (nobody has said, "Oh Yeah, the B&W's will just blow you and your Tannoys away".... which is what I thought I'd hear. Sooo... | |
| Help with UPS and Paypal Forget about any help from PayPal! All they want to do is collect their fee... especially if you didn't pay the "extra protection" amount. They'll tell you they're "not an escrow service". I've had a similar problem with a vendor who misrepresente... | |
| VPI Aries w/SDS and Flywheel SetUp Question I've been playing around with the belt tensions by moving the motor and flywheel this way and that, and surprisingly that seems to make a difference.Bumping the frequency around also on the SDS while comparing to the sound of CD player (same album... | |
| Aries owner, what isolation device do you use? Symposium Ultra Platform, with the custom cutout to further isolate the motor from the table.Very beautiful, but expensive. Easily scratched.All this mounted on a custom-built steel wall rack that was created for me by a local artist. I can email ... | |
| Review: B&W 802 Speaker 6awg wire from Home Depot? You gotta be kidding.Bigkidz...try som TMC speaker cable. You will be amazed at the performance improvement.Cost more than 30c a foot, but worth it. | |
| To upgrade cd player?? The slippery slope? Don't neglect those interconnects.Try looking for some TMC white labels on Audiogon for CD player to PreAmplifier. It will make all the difference in the world. And some yellow lables for PreAmp to Amplifier.They're excellent cables, and go for gr... | |
| CARDAS Golden Cross VS. CARDAS Cross INS. Cardas Cross cables are just good, middle of the road type cables.The Golden Cross is truly high=end sounding, and provides the warm sound you desire. | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it OK, Onhwy61..... I'll say it. "That was just too DAMNED funny!"Laughed out loud long and hard.Are we really regressing? | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it I can verify the smell thing, for sure! I actually bought some old Beatles albums that had been in a flood. The covers and jackets were a mess (the records, too... but the water hadn't reached the labels) Well, the guy thought I was nuts for buyin... | |
| What's under YOUR CD player? After reading all the posts, I've purchased and installed (tonite) the 'new' Nuance "bad boy" isolation device.It's thicker than the Alpha or Beta.Supported it like subaruguru did, with the included stock threaded spikes that I drilled/tapped into... | |
