| VPI Classic Platter WOW! HW's rationale is impeccable. Makes you wonder why more turntable manufacturers aren't using aluminum platters......or does it?Cheers,John | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX 4D Stefanoo, I would think that you would need a lighter counterweight, not a heavier one. You would need a heavier one if your counterbalance was running off the end of the tonearm and you were tracking 1.95 grams. As I read it, you can't track any ... | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX 4D I would check with VPI to see if they have a different counterweight. I have a Basis 'table/arm, and I had to order a different counterweight for heavier cartridges, like the Dynavector XV-1s, from Basis. Hopefully you get a chance to listen to th... | |
| Suggestions for a good phono stage You could try using a step up transformer (SUT). It would require another set of interconnects, but could save you a lot of money overall.Cheers,John | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? 04-01-10: GunbeiWhat one person might perceive as weight, another might perceive as bloat.That sums it up pretty well Gunbei. Some folks enjoy the additional bass weight, which is fine. Whatever gets your toes a' tapping. | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Subs can be difficult to integrate with satelite speakers. More difficult than most people know, even those who love subs. I usually find that a speaker designer is best at designing a woofer to integrate seemlessly with the other drivers in one s... | |

| Why terminations on speaker cable? I'm using those Mapleshade speaker cables now, Double Helix plus. Bare leads....they sound very good, especially for the price.Cheers,John | |
| Help with a BAT pre - amp I hate to say it, but I had a similar problem with a VK-51SE. The problem was the six-pack caps were shot and needed replaced. Cost about $700 as I recall....that was about 4 years ago.Cheers,John | |
| BAT VK 31 SE vs BAT VK 32 or BAT VK 32 SE I've had the VK-31SE and VK-32SE in my system, I haven't heard the VK-32. In my system, which tends to lean towards the warm, polite sound, I preffered the VK-31SE. I felt the VK-31SE sounded more powerful and dynamic, while the VK-32SE offered mo... | |
| Marantz SA-11S1 I own a highly modified SA-11S1 (Apprx $4K in mods). It was already modded when I bought it, so I can't speak about the stock unit. However, I would agree with much of what Krisjan has written. I would charaterize the soundstaging as mid-hall, whi... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Stealth Hybrid MLT's. | |
| Tom Evans Groove X, Aesthetix Rhea or JLTI Thanks for the clarification Restock and Audiofeil. I had thought all TEAD phono stages had preset loads, like my Walker Audio phono stage. However, TEAD does make a flexible model, unlike Walker Audio. | |
| Tom Evans Groove X, Aesthetix Rhea or JLTI Thanks Drw50, that's pretty flexible. | |
