| vpi hw19-III paint job? It's alway a risk in changing a component from stock if resale is anticipated. That being said, make sure that the repaint is of absolute top quality and accept the fact that you will not recover the addiitional cost when you sell it. | |
| Audio Physic speakers: where on the value scale? The Virgo is an amazing speaker. I never cared for the Libra. There was something missing and it did not stay in the line very long. The original Caldera and Avanti were also rather ordinary. The Avanti III is a great speaker. | |
| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? www.signalcable.com has good, cost effective cables | |
| New Classic Records Coloured Vinyl I bought the new Norah Jones, on red vinyl, and it was simply awful.l Very noisy vinyl. No amount of cleaning helped. I returned it. | |
| missed buying opportunities You should start using a bid program such as esnipe. You put in the most you are willing to pay and it bids for you.Don't ever regret what you didn't get. Something else always comes along. | |
| Lyra Titan scarcity I don't think it has been out long enough for many, if any, to require retipping. It's an expensive cartridge so the total number sold is going to be limited. Be patient.There will be a new flavor of the month and Titans will show up for sale. | |
| Technical question - satellites and TVs You can do very good quality over the internet with a high speed connection. Satellite time, not to mention, transmitting equipment, is going to be expensive. You might want to see about renting time from DirecTv or Dish Network. Still not cheap b... | |
| What? No Norah Jones New CD Thread? My red vinyl copy is noisy. I've carefully cleaned it with both RRL fluids with little improvement. Just another example of the total lack of quality control by Classic Records and RTI. I was hoping that the 150 might be better than the woefully i... | |
| What? No Norah Jones New CD Thread? I don't find her boring at all but this wasn't the original poster's question. He wanted input on the new CD and was not requesting opinions on whether we like or don't like Norah Jones. | |
| What? No Norah Jones New CD Thread? It's good. I'm a fan so I like pretty much everything she does. I have the CD and thr 150g, red vinyl LP which, not surprisingly, sounds better. It is an analog recording. | |
| Good speakers for Defy7 Audio Physic Avanti III, Wilson Watt/Puppy, JMLabs Utopia and Vandersteen 5A all mate will with the Defy 7. | |
| Putting MM cart through MC phono stage Very easy for the high output of a MM cartridge to overloada MC phono stage in addition to loading and capacitance mismatches. | |
| Number of sales: CD vs LP You're friend must smoking some good stuff. LP sales don't amount to more than a rounding error compared to CD and download sales. | |
| Putting MM cart through MC phono stage No, it won't save tube life and running a MM into a MC input, while it will work, is not a good idea. | |
| Do i/c's on a component affect overall system ? I don't believe any of you can hear the effect of cables on an unused component on the rest of the system. Believe what you want but it is, in my opinion, just silly. |
