| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas HA HA “It’s always easy to spend other people’s money” is one of my most favorite expressions, although it’s usually used when I’m talking about government or business. Generalizations on SS vs tube aside, I get your points; that the... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart I sent an email to Keith Herron, his prompt reply regarding the VTPH-2A and Ayre Ax-7:" We have VTPH-2A customers that are using preamplifiers with 20k Ohms RCA single ended input impedances that are pleased with the sound. I don't recommend goin... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @bpoletti Thanks also for the suggestion to call Keith Herron. As to the feet, it looks like VPI knew they needed improvement there. From one review I found:”The four isolation feet on the bottom of the Prime, sitting in Delrin corner posts, were ... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Thanks Al, I’ll check with him and post the reply | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Thanks all - you are a tremendous resource. @jperry Thanks for the suggestion. I was leaning VPI due to their Rep and the fact I live in Jersey. Let’s assume I’m going with the prime and ART9. On to the pre - and matching. It looks like several o... | |
| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 I have an MMF-5 with plastic platter and felt mat. Based on tweak reports, and since it’s cheap, I just bought a Herbie mat that’s not arrived yet. As it turns out, I’m looking to get a new TT, and I’m considering a VPI Scout, Prime or Signature. ... | |
| How tight do you tighten a record clamp @g11657 Great question - I've always wondered.I have an MMF-5 with felt mat and was always thinking I'd might pull the center down too much and make the disc concave. FWIW, I always just go finger tight to make it snub, not finger tight till I can... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Thanks. Interesting that you both suggested AT carts. @oregonpapa ARC obviously makes great components, and I appreciate the suggestion, but I get Leary on used tubes. Should I? My reading also leads me to believe people in lots of forums rave abo... | |
| Apollo R + Codex v. different CDP or Ayre QX Before I went to Verona I thought that I would be choosing between used Ayre separates and later upgrading the speakers or possibly an EX-8 and Quatro CTs. At this point I made one decision for sure. I’m getting Quatro CTs this year. With the Quat... | |
| Apollo R + Codex v. different CDP or Ayre QX Thanks Joey,That may be the ticket. I was looking at a Kx5e MP, and am waiting on a call back from Michael at Ayre to discuss upgrading that to Twenty version. Course, then I still need to get a used to Vx-5 Twenty amp and a QX hub. I figured all ... | |
| P5-xe, codex, XLR interconnects Moved to https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/apollo-r-codex-v-different-cdp-or-ayre-qx | |
| P5-xe, codex, XLR interconnects I’m going to move this to a new thread under CD players rather than keep it alive here-it seems more appropriate. Thanks to everyone for their input | |
| P5-xe, codex, XLR interconnects I keep going back to @tomic601’s comment, start at the source I use most. So how inferior is the Rega Apollo R as a transport to the codex vs a significantly better CD player such as a used ARC CD-8 ($4,500 used) or perhaps something a bit less ex... | |
| P5-xe, codex, XLR interconnects Thanks to you all. I'll looked into the Mogami cables atmasphere. They're certainly quite reasonably priced.tomic and nyclee: Right now, I'm assuming that it's the other components, not the speakers that are the weak links. That's based on how ... | |
| B&O M100 speakers Thanks, they have stands. I had lunch with my friend today and told him that I would take them even though I don’t have a particular place for them right now, unless they sound better than my Sig 2s. He said, If I were going to take them instead o... |
