| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps @fleschler I checked with Kevin (owner and president) at VAC before doing even demoing the KT 150's. Kevin, by the way is awesome to deal with -enthusiastic, engaging, and available. No problem at all according to him. No modification necessary.... | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps I have VAC signature 200 IQ monoblocks with KT150's. It can be run in stereo with 100 wpc. This should be close to your price point. When I purchased these 5-6 years ago, I did a side by side comparison with what I recall was a Pass 350. With ... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @antinn and @whart thanks again for your contributions on getting the best out of our vinyl. I can say unequivocally that adding ultrasonic cleaning to a mechanical regimen such as a vpi has merit. Best is to use both, as they work differently a... | |
| Off axis cloud placement So I struck out on trying to find my disc copy of "Boys". How wide should the table cloth banner be? | |
| Off axis cloud placement @williewonka Have adjusted VTA both up and down from neutral. Lowering VTA didn't fix it and made low end a little boomy. Pretty sure I have it optimized. Tracking force is per manufacturer, and I adjusted it with VTA changes. I do have a digi... | |
| Off axis cloud placement @williewonka What a simply elegant test. I will definitely try that. It may take some time due to work and social commitments-don't usually get home until after 7 p.m. I will let you know. Just curious-ifI don't see an improvement is that a pl... | |
| Off axis cloud placement @williewonka That is a solution I would never have come up with. Do you have contact info for the company? That seems like a real easy fix. Thanks Steve! | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 @steakster , I have found that nano-flo adds both. Huge improvement over TC. It's like a 3-d conditioner. Listening to albums I am quite familiar with shows a greater sound stage, but more impressively, the sound and separation of instruments ... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I too can affirm that the new kid is killer. Just applied it to the power cords only. Took the TC off, which I thought was great. Holy Moly!! What a HUGE difference. I really can't wait to treat the rest of the system. By far and away the bes... | |
| I’m in trouble @larryro2 Larry, see Mike at Suncoast Audio in Sarasota. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a nice showroom to audition. I believe he carries some of the brands you are looking at. Good luck. | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL @curiousjimTThe only problem with playing Hendrix on this table is you have to turn it upside down | |
| Record Cleaning Machines @oldaudiophile years ago when I was looking at a 40khz unit (which I bought) I scoured the internet regarding the safety of ultrasonic cleaning. I read a report of an audiophile who took a record he didn't care for and cleaned it ultrasonically o... | |
| Wait time after record cleaning @mapman That's dedication. What do you use? @elliot Similarly, I don't use a brush, but rather a Kinetronics Tiger cloth that works much better IMO. Kudos to @Antinn for the recommendation. $9.69 at Amazon. | |
| Wait time after record cleaning "We can go on and on like this for freaking ever." I thought that was a central tenet of the audiophile's code. I'm just trying to do my part. @Riley We all have our routines. Rest assured this doesn't keep me up much a night, lol. Just wond... | |
| Wait time after record cleaning Thanks to everyone for their interest. Like @whart, I typically clean in batches and don't usually listen while cleaning. Millercarbon hit it on the head, though. A tough study for sure. @isochromism-I will usually have the disc cleaned before... |
