Getting phantom image perfectly centered
I found the problem and I feel like an idiot. Remember, these are 4-way active x-o speakers completely built from scratch. I had mis-wired the polarity of 4" driver from the instructions. I'm not sure how I did that, but I let it go for months cha... 
Getting phantom image perfectly centered
Thanks for all of the responses so far! As mentioned in my prior post, I moved the left speaker OUT and inch, and using a string (tape measure) moved the left speaker forward until it was equidistant to my ears as the right speaker. All is well no... 
Getting phantom image perfectly centered
I do hear a bit of difference with the shade down. The image moves ever so slightly to the right, but still left of center. I ended up moving the speaker TOWARD the window about an inch or so, and into the room about an inch or so, and I now have ... 
Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5
On the second disk after setting up the JC-3+. Wow. wow. Very nice. Can't wait to see what happens after the caps break in. 
Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5
I just splurged on a Parasound Halo JC-3+ to replace my Dynavector P-75 MkII. The Halo won't be in until next week and I haven't heard one, yet. I'm listening to the P-75 right now being driven by an XX-2 MkII. That JC-3+ better be one hell of a r... 
trim pots next to 12AX7s on VTL TL-5.5
I'm voting for phono stage adjustment, but I'm not sure. This preamp originally had the phono, but the prior owner removed it for whatever reason. I haven't noticed any sonic degradation, but I just wanted to make sure my tube life was maximized b... 
Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion
Oldears:This may have been answered in another thread, but do you consider the 105 a huge upgrade over the 95, or a marginal? I've got the 95, and I think it's an awesome box. I'm not going to sell my Wadia 121/Mac Mini, but the 95 is a great litt... 
Linn Basik LVX to ?? for XX2 MkII
Thanks again for all the advice. And thanks @Polk432 for the Ittok sale. It arrived in excellent condition!@Stanwal, you are correct in stating that the stock Systemdek would not be a good match for the Ittok. However, I've modified mine extensive... 
Linn Basik LVX to ?? for XX2 MkII
All good advice. I think after I sell the Basik, the 20XL and the P-75, I'll have enough to add to my budget and do both the Ittok and a phono pre. I actually bought a PS Audio GCPH today. I'll probably eventually have it modded by Underwood. Stil...
