| VPI turntables come with phono cables? You will need regular RCA cables, one for each channel. Just make sure that they are shielded. I learned the hard way after buying a pair and getting radio transmissions through the phono input. HTH | |
| Grateful Dead One from the Vault I found a German website that lists it as a GD Records release. The music is what I'm after and if it is well recorded.Mike | |
| Grateful Dead Mars Hotel Sweet! I found a copy and, based upon your responses, I cannot wait for it to get here. Rball, I would be interested in hearing your story.Thanks,Mike | |
| Zu Xaus or Furutech AG-12 phono cable? I have the Xaus with A VPI Scoutmaster and Dynavector XX2, It is very well shielded compared to other cables I have tried. One even picked up an FM station. It is as close to neutral as any I have heard. That, in conjunction with their location, m... | |
| VPI JMW 10.5i and Dynavector XX2 MK II I have the XX-2 MkII loaded @ 40 Ohms. It is mounted to VPI Scoumaster/JMW 9 and seems to be a very good match. | |
| Tom Evans Repair JJ,I have had precisely the same experiences with Scott. He has ALWAYS been prefessional, thorough, and borderline compulsive about getting the job done right, including burn-in of replacement components, prior to releasing the job. I cannot recom... | |
| VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off I have exactly the same problem. I believe that there is a snubber circuit there but not a very effective one. I just hit the mute switches on the preamp prior to turn off.As far as the belt screech problem, I solved it by placing the belt in a ba... | |
| Are you using anti-skating or not None other than the twist in the tonearm wires in the JMW 9 arm to the junction box. It sounds better without than with and does not seem to affect tracking.FWIW | |
| Best Preamp for Hovland Sapphire Amp and Quads You could try, if you can find one, an MFA Luminescence or a MC Reference. I use a prototype MC Reference with a pair of MFA M120 or Webster Electric Tube mono's to drive my Quads and I enjoy both. Very different sound from the different amps thou... | |
| Mintlp I personally believe Mint's best advice is to be patient. I have done this three times now on the dame setup, with increasing amounts of anality and been stunned EVERY time. I believe that Stringreen said every time you think you've got it right, ... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Machine - Initial Failures Grimace,ROFLMAO! I like the MAX approach the best. We are staff to four of the little darlings, maybe they can earn their keep. | |

| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? I found a Fisher 400C receiver down the street at a garage sale for $10.00. Not only did it work, it replaced an Onkyo receiver because my wife liked the sound of it much better, as did I. It's all about the sound. | |
| No reviews for Magus pre amp I have heard the Magus with an Onkyo M308 (IIRC) and it sounded pretty good driving a pair of Celestion SL6S speakers. Scott Frankland is still providing repaor and update support for MFA products. The build quality is as good as I have seen and w... | |
| Solphia repair You might try swapping left channel tubes with right channel tubes, one at a time to see fit it might be a tube issue as well.FWIW |
