| Best path to upgrade my source "You mentioned "Any old transport will do?"It would depend on the answer of; "Does the music really matters?"Anthony"Anthony,Almost any transport can deliver the bits. With error correction it doesn't even have to be 100% accurate.A good reclockin... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Anthony,I've looked inside and don't find anything there that is surprising. There is nothing I can hear on a pretty revealing system that indicates an EMI problem. It is extremely quiet. (Specif. at -109db minimum not weighted)I can't believe you... | |
| If you have a "kick booty" DAC, does the transport Anthony,I am persuaded that, aside from the timing (important to audiophiles), a bit is a bit. Why do I think that? Because the CHEAPEST CD ROM drive can provide a PERFECT set of bits to a computer hard drive every time. If that were not true, and... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Anthony,Aside from the general proposition that ANY component may benefit from a better power supply, do you have any information suggesting that the power supply of the Lavry DA-10 is inadequate? How does the Lavry "suffer"? Have you auditioned o... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source I'm happy with my Lavry DA10. As it has perhaps the most sophisticated reclocking, any old transport will do. | |
| If you have a "kick booty" DAC, does the transport A DAC that doesn't separate itself from the player with its own clocking must rely upon a very expensive player and a very expensive digital cable for the timing and delivery of the bits. That is, for the feeding of the bits to the digital convert... | |
| What spikes for VR-4Jr's ? I use Soundcare "Superspikes". They make them to fit the VR-4Jr speakers. | |
| Need Help with Dacs. In the price range spoken of above, and wanting a smoother sound, I wouldn't make a move without auditioning the new Lavry Black ($975) about which there is so much buzz. | |
| Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler Downunder, Care to explain youir remark that, "the Mahlers play music the VR 4.5's played hifi." I haven't spent much time with the 4.5s, but I have the 4jr speakers, not yet fully broken in or set up, and I am very impressesd with how they presen... | |
| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT James or Cincy_bob,Can you tell us if the Reactor balls are the blue ones or the green ones?Also, did the directions that accompanied them indicate if they should be replaced after a period of time? If they are the blue ones and came in a pressuri... | |
| Best Cartridge for VPI Aries orig + JMW 10.5 ? So Art Dudley put a Denon 103 on a JMW 10 and it sounded great. But Art Dudley doesn't know what a 103 sounds like? And Art is an "idiot" for even trying? But Twl knows the truth-doesn't he? [In case anyone doesn't know who Art is, he wrote for th... | |
| Best Cartridge for VPI Aries orig + JMW 10.5 ? According to his 6/16 post, TWL never used a JMW arm with a Denon cartridge. Nor presumably with any low compliance cartridge. Nor at all. That being the case, why would anyone pay any attention to what he has to say about this combination? His ar... | |
| Demagnatizing Phono Cartridges van den Hul says that demagnitizing a cartridge, at least with Fluxbuster type devices, ruins them over the long haul. Does anyone know why? | |
| opinions on the blue point special Whenever a component becomes VERY popular, it becomes a target for ridicule. Everything wipes it out. But consider that it's very popular for a reason (and it's not very heavy advertising). It is a fine cartridge at a reasonable price that plays w... |
