| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II As someone who just bought Micro Utopias, I would be interested to know what the differences are between the Micros and the Diablos (which replaced the Micros).Are the Diablos really in the same league as Magicos? The Micros aren't. What is the li... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands Focal Electra 1007 BE. I have these, they're very good and screw into the stands securely. | |
| VPI SDS producing hum at 45rpm So my problem was that my table, while nicely isolated from the shelf (via my Cloud 9), wasn't perfectly isolated from the motor. A simple shift solved the issue. | |
| VPI SDS producing hum at 45rpm I did have a hum problem even without the SDS, but it was a different problem (and the solution was crazy), but I have more info on the SDS.If I run the SDS at 33 and change the belt to 45, it runs fine. With the belt at 33 and using the SDS at 45... | |
| VPI SDS producing hum at 45rpm I've never had any luck getting ahold of them, actually. Their phone system doesn't allow for messages and they've never picked up the times I've tried.This morning I'm noticing the hum at 33 rpm too. I wonder if the exposed design of the XV-1s is... | |
| "Fun" Speaker As An Alternative To Revel Salon I I've just ordered a Bryston crossover and a pair of 113s for the same reasons. | |
| Best high end monitors? Thanks, Shadorne. Indeed I am a huge PF fan. | |
| Best high end monitors? Anyone else try Usher Tiny Dancers (BE-718)? Great reviews but (and this sounds kinda snobby), they aren't very expensive.I'm very drawn to trying the Focal Micro BE's (as Rello mentioned) but I have bi-wire and this makes it a pain (as it is with... | |
| Best high end monitors? Room is 14 x 26 x 7.5. Room is soundproofed and seems to retain bass energy. Current speakers are Aerial Model 9's and their 4 woofers produce too much bass.Amps are Theta Citadel 1.5 (400 watt monoblocks) | |
| Best high end monitors? Thanks for the responses.I'm considering non-full range speakers because my room is problematic. I want the sound of full range, but feel I might be better off being able to position monitors for the best soundstage and use an EQ'd sub to deal wit... | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now What phono stage did you have before? | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI While I suspect the product was flawed (how can you adjust the height for all record thicknesses?), I must admit I'm still using the two rings that keep the LP from being contaminated by the cork mat. I'm grateful for that. :-) | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? Well, admittedly I would like to stay with my table since I've invested in pretty much every upgrade apart from the arm. I'm attracted to the 10.5i since it allows VTA on the fly (something I've never attempted to adjust with my 9" since it's a bi... | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? Any table suggestions? I'm not familiar with anything but VPI (only been into analog for about 6 months or so). | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster Can you use a non-VPI arm on a VPI table? I'm still struggling to determine my next cartridge. I'd like to buy a Dynavector XV-1 and be done with it, but worry that my JMW-9 Signature won't do it justice. |
