| Speaker Cable-The Best of the Cheap? Sorry, that should've read "hear an improvement" lolMark | |
| Speaker Cable-The Best of the Cheap? Understood Shadorne, I agree, and there must be a point in which there are diminishing returns. Just like audio gear, a $1,000 Speaker Cable will no doubt NOT sound 10 times better than a $100 one.Yep, I've seen the Garden Hose sized varieties fro... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Hi Brusson, My VPI MK-IV All Black Platter is not press fit to the Spindle, and yes, mine also has a cork ring on its underside, and this no doubt is to cover the Lead Ring that must be glued in to the underside of the Platter. When I say Spindle,... | |
| Speaker Cable-The Best of the Cheap? Hi All, Many good recommendations thank you.The Canare 4S11 sounds interesting, and at the .69 a ft sounds mighty reasonable enough.As I see, the Canare 4S11 is a 4 conductor Cable, which each wire strand being said to be 14ga.I just need to termi... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Hi Brusson, Hmm, What I personally found myself, was more, or less the exact opposite.I believe my second hand Mk-IV upgraded Platter to be an older version as well, weighing in at axactly 18lbs.While the Mk-IV Platter I had gotten had a much more... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Hi Dreadhead, Yes, I agree, I found out the same thing personally when surfing the MusicDirect Site, and saw no listing of the small 10-32 Audiopoints for the HW-19.Living in Chicago basically all my life up until 3 years ago, I know Bess at Music... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Howdy Tedd, Which particular version of the Glider do you have? The dabate of Vinyl vs digital will always be a never ending heated debate. I myself do find analogue more inviting, luring you into the music better. Cymbals for example within my ow... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Agreed Opalchip, the Jr is susceptible to low frequency feedback. With a Sunfire Mk-IV True Sub in my own system, it wouldn't take much volume to get feedback.I'm sure even at lower volumes, without adequate isolation, it would cause smearing, and... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? About the differences of a Toneram Cable Upgrade, for my own personal set-up, I did notice a slight improvement in high frequency response, and high frequency clarity-definition with the Glider HO Cartridge when I switched from the factory stock A... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Hi Dreadhead, Welcome to the Jr family!As you may remember, I own a Jr since new ('96) and have the AQ PT-6, upgraded to AQ Emerald Silver Tonearm Cable, Benz Glider Hi-Output Cart, running into a McCormack Micro Phono Drive MC Pre-Amp, then off i... | |
| MacCormack Upgrades from SMc Audio? I have just found my little bag of 3 pairs of resistors that were included with my McCormack Micro Phono Drive. Thier values are 1K ohm, 200 Ohm, and 100 Ohm.It states in the manual, that these resistors are to be used in parallel with the 47k ohm... | |
| MacCormack Upgrades from SMc Audio? I'm thinking my suspicions, and computations are correct, and that approximately 22K would be a good place to start with the Glider? I may not have the correct resistors then in this case, and might need to buy them? Where can I buy these Caddock ... | |
| MacCormack Upgrades from SMc Audio? Hi Again, So what would you folks feel would be the best loading for my original Hi-Output Glider with AQ PT-6 Arm?I read mention of a general practice of loading to 25 times that of the Internal resistance? Does this mean the Cartridge's Internal... | |
| MacCormack Upgrades from SMc Audio? I'll have to give this a try. I know I have the 3 sets of resistors still that was originally supplied with the Unit. Just hope that the paperwork is with it, so I can identify which was which. Guess the most important thing is to make sure I matc... | |
| MacCormack Upgrades from SMc Audio? Hello again Steve/All,After changing the gain settings again (to low gain on the Pre-Amp), I find that I really have to push my Mac Amps quite high to get volume in what I feel is an acceptable level.I can recall this issue some years ago, when I ... |
