| Vpi vs. TW Acustic The Raven one is not overpriced, the AC and blacknight are, overpriced sort of. In my opinion all audio gear is overpriced after say $5k per component and maybe $10k for speakers. Sure audio can and does improve when you go up in the price range b... | |
| TW Acustic Black Knight I have heard the blacknight, the one and the AC. In mu opinion the one is the best of the bunch. The rest might be different or even better, but before you spend mega bucks I think there is more to gain in other areas. I think that to enjoy the di... | |
| warped lp's I know someone who uses 2 glassplates and some kitchen paper towels. Just make a sandwich of glass/paper/warped LP/paper/glass. Let it warm up in in the sun. The paper is to prefent the LP from sticking to the glass. I think some smooth granite or... | |
| Dali Helicon 400 MK2 or Focal 1027be? Not sure if this will help, but from what I have heard is that the 400mkI is better then the 400MKII. Also the mkI can be futher improved by rebuilding the crossover. I have heard a mkI with a rebuild crossover and a better tweeter (from the Eupho... | |
| VPI Scout owners, do you use.... No, I would like to try one maybe someday but the main reason for any power cable experiment would be the loud clicking noice that comes from my speakers when I turn the motor on or off. Does anyone know what causes this and do they know of soluti... | |
| Worth outlaying on a Phono Pre? I have used a RB980bx and a RB1070 with a Rega P25. The phono stage I used was a Clearaudio basic. At the time is was nicely priced but I think the clearaudio prices have gone up.I don't use the basic anymore but it is a 230V unit, I don't know wh... | |
| Raven Black Night yesterday I had a look and listen to the new Raven. I was disappointed. At the shop there they had 3 Raven turn tables. The new Black night, AC and One.The Black Night and AC were demonstrated using the Raven Acustic phono pre, Lyra pre amp,tri TR... | |
| Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4 I would go for the Naim amp. Never met a Naim amp I didn't like. Ayre amps can sound great but the AX7 well I tried and brought it back to the shop in a hurry.Cann't say to much about the speakers. Both Dynaudio and Totem make good products wether... | |
| Is there a better table than S. Scoutmaster Ref ? I have no personal experience with this table but I heard many good things about the Transrotor Fat Bob. I talked to someone who has a 3 motor 3 arm fatbob and he seems very happy with it.The fat Bob can be simple 1 motor with 1 arm to a 3 motor m... | |
| MIT cables and super tweeters Eventhough I don't think Audiofeil is end all guru of audio I do think he knows a lot. But about MIT cables, now way I would want them in my system. I don't trust network boxes in cables and never will.My very limited experience with MIT cable is ... | |
| Does anyone or does everyone pay retail price? I don't think it is always up to the manufacturer what the shop prices are. I think a large part of the prices are dictated by the distributor/import company. The small exclusive audio shops dont do big sales since they have little or no stock. T... | |

I have seen both the PH-1P and the PH-3D being sold as either a Acoustech or Sutherland. The topmodel the PH-D I have only seen as Sutherland. Then there also is a Suther... | |
| what phono amp for a VPI scout with Lyra Dorian Thank you all for the replies.Sberger, maybe I am mistaken but I heard the ASR phono amps are a bit coloured in their sound. I sounded a bit dark according to someone I know. Do you have the same experience?To be honest I have never heard of the J... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you All depends on the rest of the system and how big the room is. I like verity speakers. | |
| Raven Black Night I think most of the TW acoustic turntables will be on show in the Netherlands 20-21 March. If I can find the time I might go for a visit. |
