| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Second the comments about GrantFidelity folks (especially Rachel) being great people to work with. I received first class treatment. | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? A question for those who run a VAC amp with VAC preamp. Which is a better connection between pre and amp, balanced or unbalanced? And any particular recommendations on interconnect between VAC pre and amp? Thx in advance for advice. | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Thanks for good tips on tube rolling. Which leads me to another conclusion I previously reached after reading posts by VAC owners on Audiogon -- i have been impressed with the level headed, polite and positive demeanor of VAC owners on Audiogon. L... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Interesting and entertaining thread....Although there aren't tons of threads about VAC gear on Audiogon there are enough references (in VAC-centric threads and also as reference comments in threads about other gear) to understand that it is one of... | |
| LP care Another vote for L'Art du Son. I use it for regular cleaning (used LPs that are in decent shape) and also have the VPI 16.5. I use Mobile Fidelity Deep Clean for new records followed by L'Art du Son. Local high end shop taught me this -- for new r... | |
| Benz LPS Sounds Bad, Very Bad at 45 RPM I have the LP-S and have used it on two different turntables and two different arms and no issue going from 33 1/3 to 45rpms. Is tracking force, azimuth, etc set correctly? Faster speed may exacerbate some of those settings if incorrect? | |
| Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K. Congrats on the TT acquisition. I just picked up a Clearaudio Innovation Wood with Graham Phantom arm and feel very fortunate -- speed stability of a DD with the heft of a very big platter belt drive TT, and in a beautifully presented package. Sou... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Thanks. I have it sitting on a Symposium Ultra shelf coupled with ceraballs. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Thanks, Jwm. Yes, I ordered the upgraded umbilical on Dan's advice. I have nothing to compare it to, but trust him when he said it makes a difference. My sense of Dan is he is under-stated. When he says something makes a nice difference, it is the... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I've had the ModWright 5400es now for two weeks and have done extensive listening to redbook CDs and SACDs. My comparison is my previous Sony SCD-XA777es, my PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge, and my vinyl front end (Clearaudio Innovation Wood ... | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Richard_stacy, thanks for the callout on your favorites...led me to purchase "Gene Ammons "Boss Tenor (1960)" XRCD" Awesome recommendation! | |
| Sony XA-5400es VS Oppo 83SE Just took delivery of my XA-5400es with Modwright mods. In fact, I ordered the Sony and had it delivered straight to Modwright. I have it playing Dave Alvin SACD right now, and listened to CDs as well on it. Wow! I recently had a Sony SCD-XA777es ... | |
| Anyone using Octave amps or preamps? Tyler at Next Level ( and a lot of research) led me to conclude it is a significant step up to go for the v80 and esp the super black box (and gives great flexibility on driving any speaker loads). I ended up going a different route but was close ... | |
| Your favourite cartridge Another vote for Benz Micro LP-S. It has caused me to upgrade rest of my system. Musical, huge soundstage, dynamic and transparent without etch and forwardness. It will remain in my system as long as I am listening to music. Those folks at Musical... | |
| VAC Signature Preamplifier mkII I agree with Fplanner2000. I just joined the VAC family this week with my first VAC purchase. Kevin does walk the talk, and has a personal values set that puts music and the customer first. And his "instruments" are of the build quality that I wil... |
