| Aero Capitole as pre-amp for Spectral DMA-150? I wouldn't do it. I think you'd need the "Universal" version of the DMA-150 in order to pull this off successfully. | |
| Power Cord for Spectral DMC-30 Pre Amp I am very impressed with the effectiveness of the new PS Audio xStream Plus on my DMC-30S. This cable is an improvement over the PS Audio Lab II, which was double the price. The xStream definitely seems to clean up the incoming power. The sound is... | |
| VPI Aries and Included Flywheel Help? Per Mike at VPI, I applied a bit of 3-in-1 oil to the flywheel. To my surprise, this did the trick. | |
| Modifying Gain on a Pass Aleph Ono Oops. I thought you were referring to the Xono -- and not the Aleph Ono. It might be possible that the procedure is the same since they use the same board. Best of luck.Ken | |
| Modifying Gain on a Pass Aleph Ono Give the manual another try. I found that it describes the process of adjusting gain very well. All you need to do is install jumpers in the appropriate locations. For color pics, refer to http://www.passlabs.com/pdf/Xonoman.pdf Ken | |
| Analog Selection Dilemma: Aries V. Scout I would think that the "better" table would be the Aries 2. Apparently the recent changes to this table make it more like a Scout on steroids (per HW).The Helikon is a STEAL at it's price IMHO. Having said that, I would suggest you consider the ne... | |
| Best Cartridge for VPI Aries orig + JMW 10.5 ? I'll third the Helikon. | |
| Krell FPB Owner want to try Tube Amp or Integrated A Krell FPB-300 used to drive my Aerial 10Ts. From my perspective, it was NOT edgy and is a bright. I agree with the comments above: my findings are just the opposite as well. If anything, the FPB-300 is just sligthly on the warm side of neutral. ... | |
| verdict on thiel 2.4? I heard them at CES. They were in a huge room filled with lots of people. Even so, I was very impressed with their sound. I thought they were the best value of all the speakers I heard at the show. Many speakers costing twice as much didn't sound ... | |
| retubing a VK3i My favorite 6922 tube for the VK-3i was the Tungsram. IMHO it took the preamp to another level. The only problem though was that I couldn't find a replacement set (for a reasonable price). I was never quite happy with my VK-3i after no longer runn... | |
| Aries owner, what isolation device do you use? I use a passive Vibraplane under my Aries. It made a significant improvement. Well worth the dollars IMHO. | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. I have never liked any of the Audio Physic speakers that I have heard. | |
| Any audiophiles in San Diego?? I would be delighted to spin some records for you. We could even do some vinyl to CD comparisons. Please contact me directly if you are interested in dropping by.Ken | |
| Best sounding room at CES 2003 My favorites: 1) Herron/Joseph Audio 2) Manley/Coincident | |
| Does anyone's cable TV provider offer HDTV? I've also had a Time Warner HDTV cable box for several months now (but here in San Diego). My experiences mirror Seth's above. The Sopranos, on HBO, looked stunning in HD - significantly better than the standard HBO feed. Some of the movies played... |
