dbx 3BX III and turntables . . . do you use it?
I just purchased a 3BX 111 and I use it in my Teac reel to reel tape loop. When doing vinyl to tape, it is unbelieveable. Not much into enhancers or expanders but this really adds a really great demention to the sound 
Drivin' me Crazy
I had the same thing happen between my pre and phono stage and went through all the possibilities for the fix. When I changed the interconnects, it went away.Food for thought 
More CD Player selection woes
An interesting question Dopogue. I pulled up the Cary website and sent them an inquiry as to the validity of the made in China claim. I'll let you know what there response is. I know that any time I have had any problems with my Cary stuff that I ... 
More CD Player selection woes
I have the Cary 306 SACD and it's sound is far and above any other players I have owned or auditioned but the greatest thing about it is that, any day of the week, I can call and talk to the guy that designed and built the thing right here in the ... 
Harbeth - Audio Research?
You know, the thing is, I really love the Harbeths but if you haven't heard a lot of comparisons then your upgrade bug talks to you. "Wonder how those Thiels would sound" "Wonder how those B@W's would sound" It's definately an affliction!!!!! Wish...

I have the Harbeth HL-5's and they sound spectacular. Seems like when I upgrade, they also rise to the occassion.

Ginko Cloud 11 vs Solidsteel 5.5
I have the VPI Aries 2 scout and purchased the Ginko cloud 10 and I have been disappointed with the fit of the isolation deck with my table. Maybe in my Newbe state, I have purchased the wrong version???? I purchased on recommendation but may have... 
VPI tone arm set up
I have the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood and until I really spent some time and dialed it in, I was disappointed. The Mint Tractor was what brought it around and now it surpasses my Cary 306 SACD. Problem seems to be finding really good Vinyl. 
VPI tone arm set up
I have the same turn table and arm that you have and went through the learning curve with set up information ETC. At the end I found that the Mint Tractor was by far the best set up tool available for this combination. The difference in sound betw... 
Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy?
I bought an old Sansui G9000 on here years ago and sent it to an electronics guy that completely recapped and realigned and cleaned everything and I'll have to say that it sounds absolutely fabulous and it's a beautiful piece also. Something about... 
VPI table connected to Meridian Pre amp- no sound
I did the same thing with my Cary Pre when I was new to high end. I was all excited about listening to my new VPI turntable I had just purchased here and when it arrived and I plugged it in NADA...not like the old solid state one box does all days... 
DBX Expander
Thanks guys for all the very valuable responses. I have had my A4010 reel to reel completely refurbed and my 3BX series 111 is on it's way so it should be an interesting experience through my Cary Slp05. I'll let ya know what I hear or don't hear Mar
