| Smoke Head or Sherry Bomb? I would lean towards the Smoke Head as my favorite Scotch (of those I've tried) is Laphroaig. I have a bottle of Laphroaig 10 and 18 right now. | |
| Ray Samuels F-117 Nighthawk MC/MM Phono My Nighthawk mates very well with my DV-20XL. | |
| Next Upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster TT I'd upgrade the tonearm to the JMW-10.5i. Your setup is identical to mine. The only difference is I'm using the HR-X Minifeet and a Ray Samuels Audio Nighthawk phono preamp. My next upgrade will be to the 10.5i arm which is $1000 with the trade-in... | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap you're gonna have to define "inexpensive" for us. | |
| Best buys you've ever acquired on AG I purchased a large VPI turntable package (Scout Signature, Super Platter, Mini Feet, SDS, Dynavector DV-20XL, and Dust Cover). I already owned a VPI Scoutmaster so I cannibalized the package and resold everything that I didn't want. I had some is... | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt I remembered 6 of them (3, 4, 7, 11, 17, and 23). But I only remembered 4 because my grandfather had one in his tractor repair shop and 17 because it was in my grandparent's freezer. Techincally I know 7 as I know about 45 RPM vinyl, but that's be... | |
| can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp? If you want a real tubey, syrupy sound, I'd look into a used Cary V12R. They're 50 watts triode or 100 watts ultralinear. You should be able to pick up the V12R at under $2500. The CAD-120 mKII may also be worth a look, but I have no experience wi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century On his old website, Mick used to state that any competent tech could repair his units. I'm sure he would be willing to provide the tech with info/schematics. I remember a member of Audio Asylum (Michael Samra) did some power supply repair/changes ... | |

| Service Von Schweikert????? Check the Von Schweikert owner's circle at Audiocircle.com for info re: the VR-33. There are a couple of owners over there. I can't comment on the lack of phone/email reply. Maybe they aren't answering because today is Saturday? | |
| Vinyl for the Island Survival i would slowly burn any vinyl i had. the smell of the burning vinyl would attract michael fremer and i would be saved. if that didn't work, i would take my last record and just let the run out groove play 24/7. eventually a deranged vinylphile wou... | |
| This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King I remember watching that when it originally aired on MTV (or Empty V as I like to pronounce it). Maybe I'll break of my ORG reissue of Nevermind and compare it to the CD this weekend just for fun. | |
| VPI SDS use question Mark:Thanks for your input. When I turn the SDS on, it does start at 115 and then drops to 72 after a few seconds. I printed out the calibration manual and when I got home, I looked at my settings and my SDS was set to 84 for 33.3 and 102 for 45. ... | |
| VPI SDS use question Mark:I'll have to check when I get home, but I think I've seen the SDS display 115 on start up. Then it ramps down to 72 after the start up sequence is complete. If I turn the table on and set it to 33, it ramps up to 84. I only used the SDS brief... | |
| VPI SDS use question OK. Thanks. |
