| If I were to replace my VPI Airies1 with a 4k or so budget? By now, I thought you guys would know that the SOTA eclipse motor controller system is a highly sophisticated device based on the now discontinued phoenix engineering products. As such it is miles ahead of a VPI SDS and light years ahead of usin... | |
| If I were to replace my VPI Airies1 with a 4k or so budget? I would say ditch the flywheel which is the major space-eater and add a motor controller specifically the SOTA Eclipse if the vpi motor is ac synchronous. You’ll experience a major upgrade AND a reduction in size in one fell swoop. If the vpi moto... | |

| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. cleeds, "Zenith" is not something I made up. If you have a pivoted tonearm with headshell offset, and if you then alter azimuth by rotating the arm wand back near the pivot (BEFORE the headshell offset angle is introduced), then the headshell its... | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp audiofun, Back in January of this year, you responded to my question about the fuse upgrade by this statement: "If you can’t hear the difference a better circuit conduit makes while carrying the entire electrical signal then by all means keep the... | |
| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. "Azimuth on the fly". THAT I would like to see.I say this because the only proper way to adjust azimuth is to rotate the headshell (or the end of the tonearm that is offset at an angle) around its axis. If you rotate the whole tonearm back near ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Keep watch on Audiogon listings and on Audio Asylum Trader site. I found a Mat2 a few years ago, after BA went out of the mat business. They do come up from time to time. | |
| Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem Dear PK, In one of the early and now deleted posts, did you not say that you were advised (presumably by your dealer) that the DL103 and the ANS2 should work well together? And now you are saying that your dealer most recently advised you the mat... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable As per usual, this discussion has turned into several arguments. That’s OK. Terry, you seem to have presented evidence that it is worthwhile to have as noiseless a bearing as possible. With that sentiment, I wholeheartedly agree, and I am not at a... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable terry9, What evidence can you present that it is impossible to reduce bearing noise to the point where it is indeed "irrelevant"? Bearing noise is never zero, but in well designed turntables, it is below audibility to a listener at the listening ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Gallus, You got me interested when you mentioned the Luxman switch box, because Luxman makes good stuff. However, the AS4 seems to be made for AV systems, which is to say it's for switching high level signals, not mV level signals as seen from a ... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable According to several posters on Vinyl Asylum, this company or this product has gone under. The stories are conflicting. One is that it cost too much to produce. Another is that it cannot work with an MC cartridge because of the magnetic field. ... | |
| Is Graham Slee Revelation best affordable all around phono pre? What you're after in your text seems not quite in agreement with the title of your thread. Yes, I would guess that the Slee Revelation is an excellent choice for the particular needs you mention, but no, I doubt the Slee Revelation is the "best a... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush three-easy, Manley, in the Chinook and in my Steelhead, use a hybrid cascode at the phono input. "Hybrid", because the cascode is built out of a transistor (probably a JFET) and a tube (the 6922/6DJ8). That is quite a bit different from using a ... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I far prefer tube-based circuits to solid state, for sound quality, but all tubes do have a finite life span, and as the end draws near, they become noisier, until they reach a final common pathway of being noisy. This malady will affect SLN tube... |
