| which amp to get? VAC Sigma 160i Integrated Amp would be a step up from your Rotel RA-1062. ;) | |
| Mapleshade Double Helix spker cable: Rating?? I've owned the Mapleshade Double Helix plus version only. I have owned cables from Nordost and Analysis Plus, but not the models that you mention. I have no experience with the Silnote cables. IMHO the Mapleshade sound more similar to the Nordost ... | |
| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 12-28-13: AltanpsxBetter is simply better, no personal tastes involved.If there were any truth to that statement at all, it would make this hobby a whole lot easier. ;) | |

| Poor sounding analog? It could be that the table was setup incorrectly, VTF, VTA, etc., or it could be that the old LP's need better cleaning or care. We do not know how the LP's were stored or cleaned, so there could be mold issues that could require steam cleaning. | |
| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 12-26-13: JperryWhen someone says one is better than the other they need to also be able to say they have heard both in the same system.While I do agree with this, personal tastes are also critical as to what is "better". I have seen many times wh... | |
| VPI Classic 3 vs Basis 2200 The XV-1s works well with the Basis table, I know from experience. I was also pleased with the performance of a ZYX UNIverse with the Basis. You should be fine. Congrats again, and keep us posted with your impressions. | |
| VPI Classic 3 vs Basis 2200 Congrats Moryoga! Let us know what you think. I have talked extensively in the past with A.J. regarding cartridges, he was pretty non-committal, though I did buy one from him. Of course that was before he became the North American Importer for My ... | |
| When to power off a tube amp? I agree with Newbee, you do not have what most of us consider a "tube amp". Your Lyr is a tube headphone amp, which uses small signal preamp tubes, not power tubes. My tube preamp is on standby when not in use, there is always power to the tubes, ... | |
| choosing interconnect/Speakers/AC -Maestro Utopia Well first of all, I don't know that buying cables to help tune in the sound of your new speakers to your existing electronics (which you are already planning to change) is a good idea. You say that you recently bought your speakers and that they ... | |
| VPI Classic 3 vs Basis 2200 LOL! I have had several conversations with A.J., and yes, he is a very good guy. I have always enjoyed our chats immensely, and the fact that I can speak directly with the designer of a product. He is very thorough with his advice. That being said... | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H Congrats!! Keith Herron makes some very fine products...enjoy!! | |
| USHERS Debbie, your asking price seems a bit high considering that you could buy a brand new pair of V-9845 ($500) and V-9801 ($300) for $800 total about 9 years ago. I can't imagine that the HT-1 is that valuable. Good luck with your sale. John | |
| Joseph Audio RM 25XL speakers I just acquired a pair of RM25XL speakers and got them set up this afternoon. Out of the box, for some reason, they were not that impressive, but after a few hours of listening to them, I am just blown away. I am using a Modwright KWA 100SE amp an... | |
| VPI Classic 3 vs Basis 2200 I would go for the 2200 Signature over the 2500 non-Signature for two reasons. I believe the Vector 4 arm on the 2200 Sig is better than the Graham 2.2 arm, and the 2200 Sig also has the Calibrator base. |
