Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
There is nothing wrong with acquring all the feedback you can when shelling out that kind of $$. This applies no matter where you live. But you have been dragging this thing out here and on AA for a while. I think by now you will have gotten most ... 
Trying a turntable-it sounds crappy, what's up??
>At any decent volume, the needle skids right off the platter!<If this is happening, you have a problem. Acoustic feedback can indeed be a problem with a 'table placed incorrectly in a room. But what you describe is out of the ordinary. Don'... 
Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
I don't know about everyone else, but I for one will be glad when you get some speakers.........any speakers......Oz 
Audio Research PH5 phono preamp?
You are correct. I have issue 34, issue 35 is not available yet here. I have only had this one for about 2 weeks.Oz 
Audio Research PH5 phono preamp?
I think you are mistaken. I have that issue and there was no mention of an Audio Resarch phono preamp in that article.Oz 
Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed
For Agaffer,If you think that any Vandy speaker up to and including the 3A signature can hold a candle to most VS offerings, you are living in a dream world.Disclaimer:I do not currently own any VS products, but have in the past. Oz 
Paging all owners of Luminous Audio speaker cables
Tim is a great guy to do business with. After auditioning the Synchestra Signature speaker cables I was mightily impressed. Only problem is I need two pairs (ouch!) for bi-wiring. I backed away, but couldn't forget how good they sound, so I will h...

Rathbone,After a little over 100 hours on the speaker cables I think they sound pretty good. I wouldn't describe them as you have though, they have plenty of excitement and extension both top and bottom. My only fear was of the midrange and it cam...

I'm no expert, but here are the arms I used with a single collet.Rega RB600OL SilverBluenote BorromeoBluenote BorgheseNottingham SpacearmThe Bluenote arms were a tight fit, but I could still manage it. All the rest were identical.Oz 
Help Low Freq. From Totems? Is it there?
I brought home a pair of Forests over the summer to compare to my now departed VR2s. In the dealer showroom the Forest had plenty of bass and slam, but couldn't compete with the von schweikerts in my rather large (26X16) room. And the uppper midba... 
Interspace and rega arm question -- help
FWIW, my I have used Bluenote, Rega, OL, and Nottingham arms on my Spacedeck with the same inner collet. And if memory serves me right, my buddy used the same collet on his Interspace table for his OL RB 250 that he now uses with his Interspace ar...

Thanks for your input. How do you like the AP power cords? And what have you compared them to?Oz 
Any sonic benefits of bi-wiring speakers ?
It is really speaker/xover dependant. I just went through this myself with my Montanas. I tried a jumper with a set of Luminous Synchestra Sigs thinking I could cheap out and not buy another pair. Wrong! It is very obvious that these speakers need... 
Help with new Nottingham Spacedeck
Good call Doug, I didn't even think of loading. I do think the Nott cartridges are MC and he may need to load it down a little. That would certainly explain the thin sound he is experiencing.Oz 
Help with new Nottingham Spacedeck
There is obviously a problem because what you describe is NOT how a Spacedeck sounds. I would look at the cart. alignment, and perhaps the chance that the cart. just needs break in time. They all do. Check the alignment, VTA, and VTF and if all is...
