| VPI Industries reveals Shinola x VPI table. "You don’t know s--- from Shinola, that’s why your shoes don’t shine" Nice story dtc, but I have some problem believing that was used in any form to promote the original company's polish. I always just associated the first part of the expression ... | |
| VPI Industries reveals Shinola x VPI table. I may not be in the market for one of these but I'm still pleased to see the announcement. I've been a fan of, and own some, VPI products for years. And having grown up in Michigan I've also been aware of Shinola and their high quality products ... | |
| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? Hi nandric, you seem to be quite specific with language so I will try to clarify my intent. In my mind a general rule does not set a standard. It merely suggests something which may be followed or expected the majority of the time. So a general... | |
| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? A general rule?OK, I’ll admit that can be dangerous, but how about this? If you need to set up for 7" records (nandric, those large center hole 45s) or mainly symphonic classical, then Stevenson may be your best alignment.Otherwise, play other LPs... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. stewart, "Planars whether it be magnetic or electrostatic sound their best when fed prodigious solid state juice....."Some years ago I heard a Magnepan demo at the CES where they were driving MG 3.6s bi-amped with Bryston amps (no recollection of ... | |

My meter is placed on a tripod at ear height at the listening seat position. I record response throughout the 200 to 40 H... | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII jsman,Since I'm not looking to sell my MA505 I've not made any attempt to keep up on current values. My comment was based on experience a couple of years ago. | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII Hi sam,A few years ago I got a MA505S which I discovered had a counterweight stub which was not secure and therefore drooped. Closer examination revealed one of the tiny screws near the connection point was missing (it turned out it had be broken... | |

The preamps/phono stages I’m familiar with have a standard 47K loading resistor on each phono input, typically on the back side of the RCA connectors. When that is ... | |

Rich, maybe I'm just lucky but I live within two miles of two Interstates, six miles from a military air station, and within sight of three TV transmission towers. Still, I never experienced any RFI in my Joule phono stage, in either low or high ... | |

| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Zach, based on Lance's experience I might suggest the Janszen Carmelita, formerly called the zA1.1. That is the stand mounted version of his zA2.1 with very similar sonic character. While I'll admit the zA2.1 hardly occupies more floor space tha... |
