| VPI Classic 3 Upgrades or Move On to Something New If you decide to keep that table replace the arm with VPI's gimbal bearing arm. Your bass will improve quite a bit and it should do just about any cartridge justice. | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Seventies, I do this every day. My phono stage runs through an ADC into 24/192 digital to digital processor along with all other sources. You can run back and forth between the output of the phono stage and the output of the DAC and you would neve... | |

| Record Care Regime can I do better ? Swann36, this is the right place to post but a real bad question. There are as many ways to clean records as there are record collectors and everyone has a theory. Contrary to popular mythology, records come from the factory pretty clean with mayb... | |
| Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality You might notice that Keith Jarrett did not last very long with Miles and that none of Mile's players at the time ever related to Jarrett again very much unlike say, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter who are glued together at the hips. I have an or... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? cd318, surely you jest. I've heard some amazing looking systems at Hi Fi shows. | |
| Just added full LP playback Jeff, MC cartridges do not care about capacitance. That is a MM problem. But, it is always a good idea to use high quality cable with good connections. For turntables it is always best to keep the cable as short as possible. Kimber Kable makes exc... | |
| Problem with phono stage Yes Audioguy, noise is the demon of vinyl playback and it is always going to be there (although the computer wizards are desperately trying to program it out) But, it can go from obnoxious to inaudible (as long as the music is playing) There are ... | |
| Rare magnetism found in the world's strongest material They are looking at data management but could this be a new form of speaker? A very light magnetic material. No voice coil. Hmmm. | |
| Does your pet listen to your system? Our cat find my system a rather shocking experience. He is not about to go anywhere near it. If you look at the picture of my speakers you will notice plastic mats wall to wall in front of the speakers. These hold a charge and give the animal a mi... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? 10+ @cd318. I once bought some contact improver oil stuff. Most of my silliness was in buying stupid equipment the apogee of which was a Transcriptors Vestigial tonearm. Then to make matters worse I stuck a Koetsu Rosewood in it. I learned fast ab... | |
| Just added full LP playback Audioguy, I am thrilled that you are happy with your system but Jeff is not happy with his and I am doing my best to help him out. You obviously do not need it and I am not trying to help you in any way shape or form. You are the one who interpola... | |
| Problem with phono stage emilm, Yes, atmasphere is talking turntable to phono input. You also want to keep the cables as short as you can. | |
| Just added full LP playback Audioguy85, buy a Hi Fi news test record and run the resonance test tracks. You will find the warble starting above 12 Hz. You have to stop making assumptions and learn to measure the performance of your system on your own. The OP complains of lac... | |
| Just added full LP playback Frozentundra, this should be an easy fix. The Hana's have certain characteristics that you need to understand to get them to operate at their best. First is that they are not the best trackers. Rated at 70um, this is not terrible but not great. Tr... |
