| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A an upgrade? I would keep the electronics and upgrade the speakers. The JBLs are a long way from high-end. | |
| Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout I thought I answered your question. I own Oracle, Linn and VPI. They are all very good to great. Buy the VPI. | |
| New Van Morrison disc Every copy I've heard has this problem. Diverse Vinyl feels it is a pressing defect. The songs are quite good but don't buy it for the sound. Poor vinyl and almost certainly from a digital master. To my ears, the CD sounds better. | |
| New Van Morrison disc I find the vinyl to have low level noise throughout. | |
| Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout I own a Linn and an Oracle and love them both. That being said, for a set and forget table, I recommend the Scout. | |
| New Prima Luna Amp In Distress / Me Too Why would you be running 3 KT88s and 1 6550? | |
| Defy 7 re-tube questions You don't have to replace resisters. You need 4 matched sets of tubes (3 in each set). Bias is set in banks of 3. You need a meter and you have to remove the bottom cover to get to the bias pots. I don't recall the bias level. | |
| Which 'Shipping carrier provides the best overall None of the major carriers. They simply handle too many packages to provide great care with any individual package.

| Can't tell if LP's are stereo or mono from ads I've bought hundreds of LPs off ebay and have never had a problem confirming stereo or mono. | |
| Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence As I said, the Wheaton is the best arm I've every owned. It is mounted on a TNT-6 Hotrod. Of all the arms you've mentioned, I feel the SME would provide the most synergistic match with the Sota. | |
| Vandersteen 1C with 845 S.E.T. I don't think it would be a good match. Vandy's like power and, in my opinion, are better with good solidstate (Muse, McCormack, Ayre, Classe, etc) to show their best. | |
| is it an upgrade or just fun? You fell 32 feet and lived to tell about it? Wow! The music is fun and the hardware is fun. Enjoy. | |
| New Prima Luna Amp In Distress / Me Too Contact Kevin at Upscale Audio. He'll help you. | |
| Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence The Wheaton is more accurate top to bottom. The SME is a little bloated in the bass which makes it an ideal match for the Oracle which is where I use it. The Graham is superior tothe SME. All are good as is the Rega. |
