| VPI Ring Clamp What is the benefit of getting the stainless steel center weight? Is it worth the money? | |
| Supratek Syrah phono help. I received my Chenin a few months ago and immediately found that my Clearaudio mm cartridge sounded terrible with it. I e-mailed Mick who recommended a low cost Denon mc. That solved the problem, but I will upgrade the cartridge in a year or so. | |
| Audiogon Music Reviews-a final call............ I'll be happy to do jazz reviews. Let me know how many you want and how long they should be. Also, when is the deadline? | |
| Supratek Owners I need help I have one. Is the tape monitor on? The fuse is in the back of the power supply where the power cord goes, but it doesn't sound like a fuse problem. if you e-mail Mick at Supratek, he can tell you what is wrong | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Wanted you to know that the 5amp fuse solved the problem with the fuse and the addition of a Denon DL103 mc cartridge solved the problem with the phono stage. In fact the phono now sounds great. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Has anyone elase ever had any problems with the fuse on the Chanin or Syrah? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for your comments. I'm glad that I'm not the only one to ever have experienced this. At Mick's suggestion, I am changing to a moving coil Denon DL 103 cartridge. But are you saying that I need to change the rectifier too? Why is that and wh... | |
| Supratek phono stage dark? Thanks for your suggestions. I decided to trade my Clearaudio for a Denon DL 103 moving coil low output cartridge recommended by Mick of Supratek. Hopefully this will solve the problem which is not subtle, but is pronounced. The lines stage does s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I've been listening intensely for a day now to the Chenin and notice that while there doesn't seem to be any problem with gain for my Clearaudio mm cartridge with 3.5 v gain (I'm not even lowering the gain setting in the back), my records sound re... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just received my Chenin and noticed that the manual says that that moving magnet cartridges are not recommended. I have a Clearaudio mm cartridge that I like. It has a 3.5 volt output. Does anyone use their Chenin with a mm cartridge? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I sent my deposit on for the Syrah in early January. I've written to Mick a few times in the past 3 months and alhtough his e-mails are pleasant, there always seems to be one reason or another why the unit (now the Chenin) isn't ready. Last week, ... | |
| Help Where to start with jazz????? I have a big jazz collection. I usually recommend Thelonious Monk--Monk's Dream, Charles Mingus--Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Jackie McLean--One Step Beyond, Grant Green- Born to Be Blue. Email me if you want others. | |
| Musical Fidelity A-3.24 DAC...Is it any good? I've had one for a year and it is a marked improvement over the Cal Audio Ikon cd player that I was using. In fact, buying that unit has rekindled my interest in hi fi generally and I've upgraded my speakers and amp since then. I recently heard a ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just contacted Mick about ordering a Syrah. I'm assuming most of you still love this preamp and that even though its his most basic model, it is still a great piece of equipment which competes with much more expensive units. Do you still feel th... | |
| Upgrade turntable or preamp next? Thanks to all. Do you recommend the regular VPI Aires or the Black Knight? Also, would a Teres be better than the Aires? |
