| Power Cable Guidance Needed... We compared a LessLoss cable and a few other types at a recent NY Rave meeting. The clear winner was a Kubala Sosna PC, but that's like $1500 or so. The 2nd place cord was not very far behind and noticable better than the LessLoss. It was a Kaplan... | |
| What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R? You could also look for some great used MC's here at the 'gon. I've seen a few Dynavector's around recently, as well as others.Enjoy,Bob | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" They made some great and memorable music. True songmasters. I've got to put on some of their albums over the weekend and revisit it. Seventh Sojourn was my first Moody's record, way back when. I think I own most of them now - you can pick them up ... | |
| Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away The best thing to do with ANY upgrade is to unwind it after a little while to make sure that the changes you are hearing are actually improvements and not just differences. Yes, you will get used to them over time and just fold them into your expe... | |
| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery Doug, that started to remind me of the old penis joke, where it gets put in a rubber bag and shoved in a dark and wet place then bumped around all over the place until it throws up.Seriously funny stuff. Maybe someone should make a cartoon for use... | |
| "Classic Yes" album question... None of the Yes recordings from the 70's were "audiophile" quality. They sounded OK, but not great. I thinkt hey were more interested in the music rather than the sonics.Bob | |
| VPI cork Mat I was wondering about those who use mats on VPI platters also. What do you do with the little rubber gasket around the spindle - remove it and set it aside? Do you still use the clamp with the mat or set that aside also?Thanks,bob | |
| Vpi aries with Jmw-10 looking to upgrade cartridg If you get an SDS you can then try using string to drive the platter instead of the rubber belt. You will need the SDS for this because the diameter of each and how they rest in the spindls result in different platter speeds.Yes, the string brings... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Just wondering ... the VPI platter is not supposed to be used with a record mat. It's design is intended to couple the record to the "vinyl like" composite platter.What would a record mat do for me here? Might it help dampen these vibrations? What... | |
| Top 3 power cord for DAC I strongly suggest you check out Kaplan Cables over at www.Tweekgeek.comThere's an introductory special with a great discount for the next month or so. | |
| No deep bass or highs: VTF or VTA issue? Your anaogue rig is still not "cheese whiz" and I, for one, am amazed that you say CD's sound better. Definitely start from scratch and readjust that table until it's optomized before you spend additional $$$ on anything. It may be your phono stag... | |
| VPI Rim Drive vs. belt drive sound files A couple of suggestions for those of you with belt drives but interested in getting more PRAT out of them.If you look closely at the belt where it comes off the spindle before going back to the platter you will notice that it wobbles quite a bit. ... | |
| What time do you wear? All you watch wearers will have to manually adjust your timepiece tonight at 7PM for the extra second that is being added on this year.Bwwaaaa, Haaaa, Haaaaa, HaaaaaaHappy New Years folks,Bob | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions When I say it's not audible I mean the woofers are pumping but I don't hear any thumping in my ears, the way I do if the subwoofer is on. Yes, it is definitely being driven by the amp and using up some power but it doesn't audibly interfear with t... | |
| McCormack TLC-1 Output Jacks I'll give you the age old response (you had to have expected this) ... try each and see which one sounds best to you.Both will work, one will probably sound better.Enjoy,Bob |
