| Lessloss Reference review? It's not just you, reviews ARE worthless. Though I suppose they are not totally useless, they can provide some photos or specifications that may not be available otherwise. They are only worthless when it comes to wasting time reading and trying t... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable It's more difficult to find an honest review than it is to find an honest politician. ;^) | |
| Do Jumpers make an audible difference? 04-19-14: WaxwavesThe popcorn is popping, just cracked a cold one, let's get this party started! I so love these heated cable discussions...Especially with so many humorous responses....pass the popcorn Adam.04-16-14: LakBottom line is there are n... | |
| Another unconventional power cord test? If your end game is to find the lowest noise floor, then it sounds as if you will be sending the Shunyata cord back. Personally, for me, a lower noise floor is nice, but it is not really what I listen to an audio system for. I prefer tubes to soli... | |
| Are older series speaker cables a bad investment?? 04-19-14: BifwynneGot a serious question, ... really. Has anyone bot cryo'ed speaker cables? Results??I have owned speaker cables that were cryo treated (Jena Labs), and they sounded very good. However, I have never heard the same cable before and... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable 04-19-14: DreadheadHave you read Fremer's review in the new Stereophile?No. I don't bother reading those infomercial magazines anymore. They are good for pictures and spec sheets, but the "reviews" are a joke. | |
| VPI Scout 1.1 distance from phono-pre I would not recommend a long cable run from table to phono preamp. Phono preamp to preamp is fine though. If you must then you would be better off with a higher output cartridge, 2.5 mV and higher. Stay away from LOMC and long cable runs, that's j... | |
| Order of importance of cables I have to agree with Al, there is no one correct answer. Many will have their own priorities, but that doesn't mean anything to you or me, as synergy will guide you to your own personal preferences.This question has been asked many, many times ove... | |
| High output MC Bob, you may want to clarify a little more what "modest price" means to you, as this phrase will mean different things to different people. That said, I would recommend a Sumiko Blackbird as a modestly priced HOMC. | |
| Are older series speaker cables a bad investment?? However, the main question is:.... can a previous ( or two series before) series speaker cable sound better than a new improved version.??Absolutely! Many folks make the assumption that newer = better, which is a common misnomer. Companies introdu... | |
| Tried the PSVANE Phillips Holland Metal Base EL34 I haven't tried them but I've been wondering the same thing myself. Have you had a chance to try them yet? | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump 04-16-14: Stringreen..then why does my VPI turn off silently?? Luck? Or do you use the mute switch too?No one said that every single motor VPI ever made thumps, but obviously there are enough of them out there on the market that do thump that thre... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump That thump is why I mute my preamp before turning the motor off. I change LP side, clean LP and stylus, start the motor, wait for the stylus to drop into the groove then I un-mute. No thump through the speakers with the preamp muted. Mofi's explan... | |
| two way v. three way speakers It takes a lot of cone surface to move a lot of air needed for lower frequency sound. It also depends on the design of the speaker and crossover. Ported? Sealed? 2 way? 3 way? 4 way?In general, a 3 way design will go lower in the bass region than ... | |
| the magic of power cords I see... the I's have it. I was going to post more, but I have to go eat lunch. Then I have to stop by the Post office, I have some packages. I want to get some stamps too. I will listen some more when I get home. I love listening to the music I e... |
