| Whats on your turntable tonight? New Dire Straits debut LP 180 gram remaster. Sounds very good but not sure I like it better than the Phonogram 1/2 speed remaster import from several years ago. Funny thing is that my Straits LP is 11.99 inches and not 12 inches in diameter. My VP... | |
| Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i I have heard both the Dynavector XX-2 and XV-1s with the JMW 10.5i on both an Aries 1 and Aries 3 VPI table. I own the Dyna XV-1s.The Dynas are an absolute perfect match for the 10.5i. The sound is detailed yet warm and dynamic. Not a hint of brig... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Producers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow, i thought I was the only one. I like their debut record better than You Make the Heat though. What a great power pop band. I picked up both copies of their first two records in mint condition last week for $3 eac... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre In an ad in the current Absolute Sound, JRDG stated cryptically, that at 2010 CES in a few weeks, they will unveil new products. Anyone care to guess what new stuff we may see from Rowland? | |

| Rowland Synergy IIi, Cadence and BPS-1 Well the unit arrived. I have the unit hooked up to AC power and have it correctly hooked up to the Synergy IIi and the Cadence phone pre. Both are powered up and running with AC. With the BPS-1 getting AC power, both the 'full' green light is on... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s and JMW 10.5i question Absolutely no apologies necessary Doug! This one of the many reasons I love Audiogon so much. A great website, but most of what makes it great is the community of audiophiles and enthusiasts. All of you are very insightful and helpful. I will star... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s and JMW 10.5i question Yeah, guys, I value my audio vinyl guru friend's help. I just hate to ask him to come by and check things out again. I think he thinks I am having an 'audio nervosa' attack. I know what I'm hearing is real though. I hope the cart isn't defective. ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s and JMW 10.5i question I received the new XV-1s about 10 weeks ago. The friend who set it up had it about 2-3 weeks and 'broke it in.' I think he probably had 50 hours on it. Once I got the table and new cart back in my system, it sounded phenomenal. Rock solid imaging,... | |
| Rowland Synergy IIi, Cadence and BPS-1 Thanks again for all the info. The BPS-1 should arrive today. I'll charge it today and try to set it up tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again! | |
| Rowland Synergy IIi, Cadence and BPS-1 Thanks for the further info. I'm excited to try it out. Another quick question - when you were going on exclusive battery power with the unit unplugged from AC, how many hours did it stay adequately charged for listening? When it was plugged in bu... | |
| Rowland Synergy IIi, Cadence and BPS-1 Thanks for the reply. I am considering purchasing a BPS-1 and will talk with the seller tomorrow. I think the one I am purchasing is a one chassis unit. I was just trying to make sure I didn't need to purchase any new umbilical cables or power cab... | |
| Flat Records? This is a great question. To further the discussion, I purchased a VPI peripheral ring and center weight recently. After a few weeks I noticed (for some odd reason) that the peripheral ring would wobble up and down very slightly. This was unnervin... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hank Mobley - "Soul Station' Music Matters/Blue Note 45 RPMFantastic artist and fantastic recording. These Music Matters 45 RPM's are expensive, but to my ears, are better than the impulse 45 RPM releases or the Acoustic Sounds 45 ROM releases.Thi... |
