| Alternative to VPI motor for Aries 3? Stringreen, having never tried it I'll take your word for it. No turntable motor I know of is built to such an exacting spec. That being said, it certainly should be quiet enough so that you are not aware of it in normal conditions. That has alway... | |
| Alternative to VPI motor for Aries 3? I've owned many VPIs over the years. The motor should be essentially quiet. Dead quiet with a stethoscope resting on the motor? I doubt it. I'm not sure any motor will pass that test. What you're describing sounds like a defective motor. Let us kn... | |
| Quad speaker quality I don't know but they sure sound good. Does this "authority" have specific knowledge or just assuming because of the Chinese origin? The quality control from Chinese manufacturers has improved significantly over the years. You can still get crap b... | |
| Maggies I owned 1.4s at one time. Good speaker. Your setup may not be ideal but should sound quite good. If the price is right, go for it.Good luck,Wendell | |
| Maximum length for optical toslink 25' is nothing for a optical signal. There should be no negative effect on the sound. | |

| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Don't worry about it. You don't need to do any of that to set up your system. It helps but is not essential. If you are not hearing the mid-bass problem with your digital but do hear it with your analog it is not a room issue. Fix the core problem... | |
| Do I need a special DAC for SACD ? With a few exceptions the DSD signal can't be routed through a digital output to an external DAC. You need a full SACD player that connects through it's analog outputs and can also be used for CDs. The CD digital signal can be routed digitally to ... | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Madfloyd, just by a $50 cartridge and give it a try. If you're still hearing the same thing you will, at least, know your cartridge is OK. In more than 40 years I've never heard a set up that had good bass and no mid-bass. Your description confuse... | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? It's not the arm or the table and shouldn't be the cartridge unless there is something amiss. In your previous thread I suggested trying another cartridge, even a cheap one, to see if you still experience the same problem. The arm, while not my fa... | |
| Jackson Browne's "Time the Conqueror" If you want to hear conservative politics you can go see Ted Nugent. I just want to hear the music and don't what care what any of them think about politics. | |
| VPI Headshell weight question Between the cartridge and headshell. Rebalance the arm and apply the recommended tracking weight for the cartrige. | |
| Unexpected preamp needed- return policy important If only one source consider a high quality passive volume control with one in and one out. | |
| TV converter box Azmoon, if you don't think so you don't need to bother buying the boxes. | |
| VPI TNT balancing Doh, you would think I would learn how to read! |
