Anyone using Coincident Total or Super Eclipse
I may buy either Super Eclipse IIIs or Totals without hearing them first. Having read owners's comments I feel confident I'd like them. Dan, Mike and Metralla, did you ever try Coincident speaker wires and how did they compare to any others you used? 
Moerch DP-6 VTA Adjustment
Thank you. I suspected it was such, not easily repeatable or adjust on the fly, but for me that is probably not important. And the different mass arm wands to match different cartridges is a plus. I know this arm is highly regarded by many. How do... 
VTA on SME V
Thanks for the info Nsgarch. I have a Graham 2.2 but I'm considering a second arm to mount on my table. The Graham is so easy to setup and adjust, although I don't change VTA (SRA) often. I see SME V arms on Audiogon at times (there is one now) an... 
Vandersteen, Coincident or Green Mountain
Thanks for all the great input. I'm not going to make any changes, at least not for a while without further thought and possibly some auditions. My listed alternatives may very well result in a lateral move, and therefore not worth the hassle of s... 
Subwoofer other than Strata 3
Check out Vandersteen 2Wq subs. Probably the best for integrating with your main speakers. They are unique in that they connect to your amps speaker terminals and this in part is why they integrate so well. From the Vandy web site:Conventional pow... 
Analog One MkII vs MKIII?
I spoke with Larry at The High End Palace on this question last week. The Analog One MkII is not available and has been replaced by the MkIII. It can be had with the standard platter or for additional cost the upgraded platter with the anti resona... 
New Stones album on vinyl
Does anyone know if this vinyl album was made from digital or analog tape? Digital I suppose. 
Experiences with ModWright Sony 999ES
I've had my Modwright 999ES for a few days and am amazed at how it sounds. When broken in it will be phenomenal. Previous CDP was a VSE modified 9000ES which was very good but this is better, noticeably better in my system. So much so that I feel ... 
Are you/or do you want involvement in a audio club
I'd like to hook up with other audiophiles and music lovers for selfish reasons. I think it must be the only way to judge the sound of your own system. I've never heard any other system except my own and I'd like to hear others and have people ove... 
To Loricraft users
I sold my VPI 16.5 and took delivery of a Loricraft PCR3 3 days ago. I made the change mainly because of concerns related to transferring contaminants from record to record. The Loricraft solves that problem in the vacuuming step by using a moving... 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Exactly right, I won't sweat it.I've been listening to my Graham 2.2 with Airy2-x-sb and it sounds very good. I'm so pleased it doesn't seem necessary to change anything, but of course I will experiment after maybe 25 hours on the cartridge. Down ... 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Well in that case I should probably spend more time on it. Right now it's just a cut and paste job of what I thought were the most useful posts to (so far) this discussion thread, including the user names of the posters. To make an actual instruct... 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Goodbye sirspeedy, your work here is done. It’s been great knowin'ya. Seriously though, I'm working a document called Setting Up The Graham Tonearm. Copying the vital pieces from this and other discussion threads and pasting them in one cohesive w... 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Thanks sirspeedy, no further questions (except for one at the end of this post), just want to express my gratitude. You've written volumes here and I appreciate your desire to avoid having to repeat yourself. It’s probably obvious I’m a novice but... 
Graham tonearm tweaking
Sirspeedy I would never have known about the critical nature of the damping fluid without your comments and I thank you. And Doug your comments, especially those dated 2-15-05 are very helpful. I now have my pre-owned Graham 2.2 on the table with ...
