| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @mijostyn The Schroder looks like a very nice arm but I have already bought the Blackbird. | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @mijostyn Why do you doubt VPI uses the 222 mm standard? My old VPI Aries Scout measures at 222mm pivot to spindle using a Feickert protractor. I would have assumed they would have kept it the same for the newer Scoutmaster. And it is really th... | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @viridian I'm not sure if you didn't really read my post or if it wasn't clear what I was asking but your answer isn't accurate for the turntables or my question. The VPI Scoutmaster originally came with a JMW 9" arm and it does have a hole drill... | |
| Streaming DAC recommendation I use the Gustard R26 which is brillant streaming Roon over an ethernet connection. My local audio shop recommends the Eversolo DMP-A6 or A-8. | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers They aren't really $3K. If you go to Tekton's Facebook page you will see that the $3K is like a preorder deposit. They will still charge you $7K. The exact post by Tekton was "$7K per pair. $3K deposit gets you in the queue." That might seem... | |

| Cable supports on the cheap... I bought plastic rebar chairs for 20 cents each and hot glued them to 4" squares of wood. I also bought steel rods from Amazon and bent them and poked them into the same squares. For heavy cables you will want bigger squares. But I've never hea... | |
| Transimpedance has too much gain? @mijostyn @lewm Thanks for that info on converting a tonearm to balanced. I also discovered VPI sells a somewhat overpriced junction box that you can use to replace the RCA box on their turntables. | |
| Transimpedance has too much gain? @gochurchgo I wasn't familiar with that Love album but listening to it on streaming it is easy to see how that guitar could quickly become irritating. I don't listen to that kind of music but I have had other preamps that produces what I call gla... | |
| Transimpedance has too much gain? The Andover Spinstage is about 71 dB of gain if I am remembering correctly and that is more than most MC Phono Preamps. But I don't hear any tonal emphasis on mine. It just sounds much much better than it should for the price. But you might fin... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please More power to you and your ears but I used copper slugs in my Magnepan 20.7s, and PS Audio BHK preamp and BHK 300 monoblocks and heard no difference. | |
| Looking for a budget Step-up Transformer This is a very good SUT for the money. https://hifi-exquis.com/tube-transformer/616-raphaelite-dt11-stereo-mc-pole-permalloy-step-up-transformer-20047k-114-hifi-exquis.html It isn't quite as good as my DIY Lundahl LL1931 SUT but better than the ... | |
| Andover Spindeck is really good I've been listening to the Spinstage for two evenings now and it really is very good. There are some differences between all the phono stages I have right now and I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite but the Spinstage is certainly holding... | |
| Andover Spindeck is really good I have one coming on Monday. I'm going to put it up against my PS Audio Stellar Phono, the Hegel V10, and a Graham Slee Accession MC. If you buy it direct and let them add you to their mailing list it is only $225 with a 60 day trial period! | |
| Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge @alvinnir2 I have my Denon DL-103 on my Technics SL-1200GR. Even after I bought a fairly heavy Ortofon LH-4000 headshell to use it still didn't sound very special. But a friend suggested I add weight to the headshell so I Blu-tacked a nickel on ... |
