| Phono Preamp Tube Rush My rule of thumb is if you can't hear the hiss, rush, or even hum at the listening position with volume at a healthy level, then it's nothing to worry about. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Belts The mono filament line is only about the thickness of an average human hair. The knot causes no problem with the drive. The dual 2 speed pulley on the Well Tempered TT. is designed and compensated for the knot. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Belts If you go on the Well Tempered web site. they have a section on making a jig and the type of monofilament line to make your own belts. I'm surprised the distributor can't help you. The gentleman you should talk to is Mike Pranka. He had helped me ... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? For me, It was how much would I need to spend to get my analog system to rival my digital. I had a $1000 cd player, and it took a outlay of about $2500 in turntable, tonearm, and cartridge to level the playing field. No bliss in cheap analog syst... | |
| The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile "Music is emotional or why bother listening to it."I agree. MUSIC is emotional. This is where I have a problem with people saying, "I didn't like system xyz because it didn't connect to me emotionally." I don't understand this term regarding the h... | |

This might be the difference between the black and green drivers which could quite possibly be a difference in the dri... | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 Per my last post, I haven't heard the Lamm monos or Vandersteen M-5HPA, but now knowing the price difference, I concur the Vandersteen amps are a great value by comparison and I'm sure they sound great. I'm looking forward to listening to them the... | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 Curious about the Stereophile Quatro Ct/M-5HPA review. It seems that John Atkinson slightly preferred his Lamm M1.2 amps. Are these amps (Lamm M1.2's) actually better than the Vandy amps, or is it just Mr. Atkinson's preference? Don't know the pri... | |
| High end audio - mid range ears Assuming you are not stone deaf or in need of hearing aids, your ears will be able to discern more "nuance" than any piece of audio gear regardless of price. | |
| WHARFEDALE EVO 4.2 - any info? I have a pair of Wharfedale EVO 30's. Even though this pair of speakers are 17 years old, they still make beautiful music in my wife's system. Still have very competitive sound for their age. | |
| Solar Panel and Inverter Recent Audio Lessons Learned I have used my system without, and now with solar panels for a few years now. I don't notice any difference in sound quality and nothing noise inducing. I don't notice any problem with inverter noise either. Most solar panel systems don't have any... | |
