| Tube amp repair recommendations - Western NY John Wiesner, of Loesch Wiesner fame lives in that area. I would trust him with just about anything that has a tube in it. | |
| Has anyone tried a "leather" turntable mat? Kinky little sucker, aren't you! | |
| Power supply caps The Panny's are nice. I've used them before, but my power supply cap of choice is Nichicon, if you can find them. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm There are now 3 or 4 threads talking about VPI products. Good or bad impressions aside, I'm sure Harry is enjoying the active interest and discussion this is generating.I personally don't know why there is so much hatred for VPI. I would personall... | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter That is what I have String. The new smooth walled ceramic platter. Enjoying it very much. | |
| New VPI anti-static mat for Classic Platter I've never heard a mat on a VPI platter that I liked better than no mat at all. It might help statis, but I find it hard to believe that it sounds better. | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter I don't know if the grooved ceramic platter I initially received was a "production" version or not, but it wasn't finished quite as nice and evenly coated as the smooth walled platter that replaced it. I do know that the smooth platter did sound b... | |
| Top resistors If you want a little warmth added to that transparency you could add a Riken Ohm in series, following the Vishay. Of course you would have to use different values to sum to the value you want.I did something similar in my Hagerman step up. There a... | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter So, Buco ... are you saying that Harry and VPI are not entitled to manufacture a good product, identify improvements over time, price their products in line with their competition, market those changes and make a reasonable profit? They've been ar... | |
| Question For VPI Super Scoutmaster Owners I also upgraded to the new aluminum/ceramic Classic platter and bearing, from an older MK III platter and bearing. Yes, it was a very nice gain in stability and dynamics and smoothness. Can't say how it improves on the all aluminum Classic 3 platt... | |
| Question For VPI Super Scoutmaster Owners Just get the new 3D printed arm wand. No idea on the cost of this upgrade but the sonic difference was just staggering over the original arm wand. | |
| Are there any DACs that can go low? The Theta DAC's always had a very good bottom end to them. Great dynamics too, as you might expect. Probably somewhat due to the higher then normal signal output level (not a consumer product normal 2V, made for professional use). | |
| Well-produced recent jazz cd's - recommendations? Speaking of Billy Childs - The Child Within is also a great disk.Esperanza Spalding - EsperanzaNicholas Payton - Payton PlacePat Metheny - The Way Up -or- Unity Band | |
| Questioning a/c isolation for digital.? I found that basic conditioning, using chokes and caps, helped inexpensive players with inexpensive switching power supplies to a degree, but just sucked the life out of better built players and DAC's with more advanced power supplies. Using isola... | |
| Ayre Cx-7e issue I had my transport replaced by Ayre about a month or two ago because of a similar problem. Only reading every other disk.They turned it around in about 2 weeks time and I have not had another problem since. Sounds great. They are now using a new t... |
