| Audioquest WEL innerconnects are the older models the same as current model? Well said @folkfreakI too enjoy my WEL sigs - no issues with their performance, price structure, or how they’re made. They do it for me. | |
| Audioquest WEL innerconnects are the older models the same as current model? Besides the better looking connectors, the braid has also changed from all soft black to a nice weave of the soft black and harder black nylon. The old connectors were from Bocchino audio. The sound quality, design, and overall quality should be v... | |
| Which of my cables would you upgrade or change and why? Having 2 systems is much difficult to maintain/upgrade. But have you at least tried cables from 1 system in the other, to see if you’ve got the better match going, or to help hone in on a favorite brand/model?I see you’ve got AQ cabling in the 2nd... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). These cords have been taking over my system in the past several months. In some cases I did direct comparisons, in other cases just "set-it and forget-it". The biggest difference was from NRG 1000's to Hurricanes on my tube monoblocks - awesome! I... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) SOTA was purchased by employees several years ago, and is doing fine right now (Kirk passed, but Donna is still owner). They're even working on new product development, including a series increment to the current table lineup, and a high-end rack.... | |
| Rogue Stereo 90 and Harbeth 30.1s I had a friend who ran Harbeth Super HL 5 (well..one of those similar sounding models anyways; my memory is fuzzy) and Manley Snappers (years ago; long before Manley’s huge price increase), and it sounded pretty good! Great midrange. Later that fr... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? You've got to be kidding me - who let this guy out of his cave to prey on unsuspecting audio enthusiasts AGAIN? | |
| Dynavector DV20X2H or DV20X2L No you don't need a megabuck phono stage for a low MC. I started out with a Dynavector P75 (not even a later Mk version) with 60dB gain and a Benz Micro Glider L2. It was a great starting setup that made me very happy! Your CA Basic+ looks good to... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) OP,No experience with the Origin arm, but if SOTA's bundling it then I'd trust that they justifiably consider it a good match and value with their tables. I called up SOTA years ago asking about an armboard for a VPI 10.5 arm (dealer wanted trade ... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) @effischer Yes that’s definitely an important consideration you've pointed out. I’ve had tables on very suboptimal stands/floors before, and the 4-point SOTA suspension works wonders to prevent all kinds of problems you’d otherwise suffer. In my h... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) I just upgraded my old SOTA Star III to a Nova V and love it to death. GREAT sound. But then my buddy has a VPI Scoutmaster that he loves; great value too. And a Planar 3 is a pretty decent deck itself!One thing I can't live without anymore is a h... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Noise issue driving me nuts! My dealer has one of these on permanent display/use in his shop. I once remember firmly gripping the arm’s finger lift, with the platter spinning, and actually feeling a very faint vibration that would probably cause hum noise once the stylus gets... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Well to be honest I’m over the Schiit hype machine. If it follows the trend of their other products, it’ll perform like a VPI Scout but get lauded (by some) like it’s a TechDAS at a fraction of the price. And it looks like - well, like the company... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? I'm guessing we'll watch the unipivot arm evolve over the years from a "simplicity is its beauty" design into a complex hybrid multi-pivot damped design, like all the other good unipiviots, lol. | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT Between your dealer’s VPI, Project, and Thorens, sticking with that Scoutmaster is really the best choice. Sound like you’ve perhaps got a bad mechanical/electrical mismatch somewhere in the chain, or a significant cartridge/arm setup issue, or ma... |
