Phono Cart Impedance Question
Yup, that Roger. Hope you like them. They made a big difference in the noise level of my ARC and lower noise means better sound in some respects. They work so well I have not felt the urge to change phono amps ever since I started using Roger Modj... 
How can I get a different arm installed on a VPI Prime Signature?
Hi Randy,Your signature will take a 4 Point 11 no problem, or maybe some problems. 1st here is the "floor plan" of the 4 Point 11 http://www.kuzma.si/media/uploads/files/4Point-floor%20plan%20140915(1).pdf It looks to me that the Signature does ... 
Phono Cart Impedance Question
Yes, they are pricey but every last one I have gotten from him has been super quiet, 6 so far. They test each tube individually on a tester I think Roger actually design. Clio works for him. Earth to Clio! Want to chime in? 
garrard vs clearaudio innovation
Hi orionpcgames, several considerations. If you are using a subwoofer you really have no choice. The Garrard will drive you nuts with rumble. Even if you do not have a sub the magnetic bearing on the Clearaudio is handily better. The Clearaudio is...

VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms
mreeter, I am glad that you do it carefully and do not ruin the temper. To get the right finish on it you would have to use a polishing wheel and jewler's rouge. What you are doing is clever but even if you don't take the temper out of the metal t... 
Which Magnepans for my small room?
smod, the dealer was just trying to move what he had in the store. The larger Maggies will work fine in your room even the 30.7s. The 3.7i is a much better speaker than the 1.7i. The bass is very sensitive to positioning specifically distance from... 
Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities
Yes Ralph, I remember my father's Bozak B302A's driven by a ST70 they had loads of bass. By the way what are the woofer's in your speakers? Are your enclosures vented? 
Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution
Come on clio you can be more honest than that! Cable risers are for people who want to show off their silly $10,000 speaker wires. Anything they do to the sound is purely psychological.Hleeid, just buy a role of the thickest gauge you need and use... 
Which Magnepans for my small room?
bdp24, 20.7's are big. Soundlabs 845's are HUGE:) 
Which Magnepans for my small room?
Smod, They are very different speakers than you have now. They will not go louder but they will go loud more effortlessly. With your subs they will go loud enough. I do not think anyone can argue about the high frequencies. Many think the Maggie r...

Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?
All crap. Lets face it old guys. Digital is way more accurate than analog, you don't have to deal with noise issues or the 10% harmonic distortion or the needle getting stuck. You are all disillusioned by the fact that there is very little to tamp...
