| VPI Scoutmaster - Rubber Washer Ditch the rubber washer if you are using the outside ring clamp. I have the SuperScout Master with both the outside and the center clamp with no rubber washer underneath the vinyl. These two heavy weight clamps are IMHO are the biggest upgrade fro... | |
| Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp I am not sure if the CAT Ultimate has the same output on the phono stage as the CAT SL1 MKII (an older model with 47 db on it's phono stage). I find that 1.0mv to 2.0 mv cart. would give you best results. My Benz with 0.8mv barely gave me the volu... | |
| The effective mass of Scoutmaster JMW-9 tonearm? You are about right I imagine. If you search Vinyl Asylum, some would say 7 gm. some say 9 gm. In any case I find that high compliance cart. are the best match. I find that ortofon carts. are very good with my JMW 9. I just got an Ortofon SL 16 MK... | |
| VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster My Super Scoutmaster came with both the SDS and the Periphery ring. Is is worth it??? I think so....big difference in sonics from my VPI Scout. Let's put it this way if you use the outside ring for let say 3 years and would like to try something n... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement My current Analog set up is consist of a VPI Super ScoutMaster with an outside ring clamp and a VPI Sychronous Drive System. The JMW arm is paired up with a Shelter 901 being driven by a BAT VK-P10SE Superpack Phono Stage. All of the 11 guys (Frie... | |
| avantgarde uno & duo Thanks for your post TBG. At least I know I was not the only one who thinks that Avantgardes are not doing what others claim they can do. Just to clarify things, my opinion is just that--My Opinion. | |
| avantgarde uno & duo I do agree that Avantgardes if not properly set up will not preform to it's fullest. I think it would be safe to say "that all goes for any speaker". That being said, it would be very sad to say that those trios that I've heard was not properly se... | |
| avantgarde uno & duo Tubes108Why do I feel like I'm related to you or something. Anyway, as I have said in the past, I've sat in front of a pair of Trios for a good hour or two and did not get that Live performance you are saying. But this is just my own opinion. | |
| avantgarde uno & duo GlaiDon't get me wrong, at lot of people like coloration on their speakers. AV as being one of them. You have to remember AV's are not fully horn loaded they are hybrids. To answer your question--Absolutely. AV are less transparent and detailed th... | |
| avantgarde uno & duo I have a pair of Klipschorns being driven by Cary 805C. For me that sounds very good. Although, I know there are horn speakers out there that sounds much better. Your question is about the AV Duo and Uno--Well I've heard the Duo and the Trios; to ... | |
| Having second thoughts on Khorns Need help If you want to go further south than 40Hz, you need a good sub. My suggestion would be a pair of LaScallas or even Cornwalls and a SVS sub. Get their top of the line one. About $3500.00. I can guarantee you--one hour at 95 db--youl crack your foun... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? GkCCI'm very sorry that your experience with these amazing speakers is not as superb as mine. I made sure that the rest of my gear matches the fabulous horns of the Khorns. I never had any of your bad experience. As a matter of fact mine was all s... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? KLIPSCHORNS--Read on..I'll tell you why. Before I ended up with a pair, I been nosing around high end audio stores and listening to some high end setups. I have heard GRAND UTOPIAS, AVANTGARDE DUOS AND TRIOS, WILSON GRAND SLAM and DYNA AUDIO--can'... | |
| Most beautifull turntables today.... The top 5 for me in any order would be:1. Thorens Reference2. Teres 360 Cocobolo finish3. VPI HRX4. Simon Yorke5. Eurolab Premier w/ 80mm PlatterMine is the VPI Super Scoutmaster. She might only win a runner up spot in this beauty contest--but I w... | |
