| Pass Labs upgrade? alfa100, Purhased a pair of Xa 160.8s just two (2) months ago. My Avalons have never sounded better. Out of the box; bass control was great. After (2) weeks; bass control became tighter, more textured, seemed to go even lower. They have kept gett... | |
| Phono Circuit Difference Between Spectral Preamps? I was a (20) yr Spectral owner. DMC 12 Never a problem,(outboard power supply) A pair of DMA 360s, Goodwins original demo pair. Again, never a problem! Waited 5 1/2 months for a Spectral 30SV! For (1) week it was "Magical" Then decided that it did... | |

| If this sounds like YOUR Turntable story, please share your final chapter bdp24, bought my LP12 in 88'. Five months later, armed w/ setup jig, strobe & disc, setup manual; I moved to Alaska.

| Put a lid on it (or not?) My LP12 has a dust cover. I like it. Keeps platter and Tonearm cleaner than Kuzma Stabi even w/ a cloth cover on it. But I am a proponent of the long ICs / short speaker cables school. Only amps and speakers in the listening room! At low volume no... | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners I have a commercial grade RO filter. I think that this is clean enough for me. $100 will get you a 2or3 stage filter. | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners I have an Audiodesk and sounds like a good idea to use the VPI to give a final rinse. Also have zerostat, Mapleshade zerostat and Furutek d'stat. I will post after I try | |
