Purist Audio vs. Stealth cables
I can not dispute Teajay with his experience of both but I swear by my PAD cables and they are so vital in my Krell system that I feel it's really just mediocre with anything else, When I use the Venustas it brings the recordings to life so much t... 
Dynavector Karat or Grado Statement Reference 1
I know the term musical is used loosely but I was interpreting it as more involving to draw you in. I am really very happy with the Dynavector and have been at that level for a few years now. I agree it will do most everything correctly for my sys... 
b&w 802 n to what speaker
Northcreek used to be the ultimate crossover upgrade when I had my 801 III's but I never liked the idea of extra speaker lead connections. I don't know who offers an upgrade to the 802N's that I also have now but would be interested if a kit upgra... 
VPI Classic hum
No hum from the Dynavector 17D3 Karat Mk II on my Classic. It's grounded and am using a Krell reference phono amp. 
VPI Classic Cartridge Help
Csng1 is correct and the ring is expensive due to the size and scrap to manufacture. It is comparable to the Sota vacuum platter without the complexity and reliability. It is truly awesome and after 2 other VPI tables the classic with accessories ... 
VPI Classic Cartridge Help
I am using what Csng1 is and couldn't agree more. 
Krell KST 100
Call Krell or check online for downloadable manual and you might have been real lucky if it's just a replacable fuse. 
Laptop or ipod
Laptop and PS Audio DL III is what I use and you can play your entire CD collection. I sold my Wadia transport because I was limited to what is on my ipod and that is backwards IMO. 
VPI Classic Cartridge Help
I had the Scout and sold for the Classic. Beleive me it's more than twice as good because now I know what they mean close to the master tape. it's rock solid sound and blacker background with low noise floor are quite astonishing and make it a gre... 
Wilson audio Maxx best amp match???
I am using Krell late 90's gear and B&W N802's, I have to say that even though I have never been a huge Wilson fan. One of the most convincing systems I ever heard was years ago at Chicago dealer who at the time had Wilson WP 3's and all Spect... 
VPI Classic Cartridge Help
I have excellent results from a used Dynavector Karat D3 Mk II for $300-$400 on my VPI Classic. I love the sound and is a huge bang for the buck cartidge even for the new Mk III $900 if you must have a new one. That will be my next probably or ano... 
Listening VS Reading
I read 80% of the time because I am so behind on everything that I need to use that time for both. When I compare components then I never read but if everything sounds great then I enjoy to do both. Sometimes I hear something and it causes me to p... 
Review: Dynavector Karat 17D3 Cartridge
I love the Dynavector Karat 17D2 so much that while changing tables now owning the VPI Classic now that I never even worry about upgrading the cartridge and always sounds right to me. I want to get the D3 but the D2 was a really a great value used... 
Grado Earbuds
Just got the Klipsch S4i's and they work great with my iPhone on the go. See ya Shure, I'm done with you and your repair issues/cost. 
Adcom Vs Rotel
I hooked up a pair of 602's to my Krell 300S years ago and those only cost $400 new. I was blown away how they sounded and you can't get around better amps/pre amps to get the most out of your speakers. if you need to keep a budget for now then so...
