| Totem Forests vs Hawks...which is superior? I was able to hear the Arrow through to the Forest all in one sitting (and demo'd by Vince Bruzzese himself).I much prefed the Forest to the Hawks in all respects.Of course, I absolutely loved the Arros, and they were more appropriate for my small... | |
| Anyone heard new Moon I-7 Integrated Amp? I'm also waiting for a listen. I will probably stick with my i-5 until I decide to do separates, but I might think about a trade in.Also, am I the only one that prefers the old cosmetics? | |
| VPI JMW-9 "signature" tonearm??? Didn't the original have Discovery wire? I don't know how you can get much better than that.The same signal goes through the cable from the table to the phono stage. I wonder if they will upgrade the VPI Tonearm cable, which IMHO is excellent.Rega... | |
| Phono Pre-amp for Analog Newbie It's realy a case of what is your budget.Usual recommendations for the Scout Master/Scout are the Dynavectors as mentioned by Slipknot1, the Sumiko Blackbird. Maybe the Lyra Dorian. The best cartridge I have used with my Scout is the Benz M0.9, bu... | |
| Zero 7 fans? Another fan here. Both CD's.We have the "Ambient" channel on digital cable in Toronto, and they play them quite often. | |
| Listening habits On a more serious note,I listen every day. Maybe 15 min in the morning, and all evening (3 to 4 hrs) (On the rare occasion I turn on the TV, the sound feeds into my amp, so technically, I am still listening)In a semi-serious response to Nrchy, I w... | |
| Do higher end tuners pull in more stations Check out www.fmtunerinfo.comThere are some very good tuners manufactured today, but there are plenty of vintage tuners that are better and can be had for less.You will also find that different tuners can be better at different things - some are v... | |
| More output from Analog set up, MC Transformer? It is probably the cartridge. I had the same issue with my Benz L2 - great detail, but no "oomph". I switched in my Dynavectore 20XH - plenty of "oomph" or "dynamics" but less detail.Some attribute greater dynamics to higher output cartridges, but... | |
| AT-OC9ML/II vs. Shelter 501 Mk2 using the JMW9 Just a heads up - you will be a little short on gain with the PS-1. I think the max is 53bB, where the .4mV Shelter would probably match up better with something around 60bB.I am using the Dynavector 20XH with the Scout/JWM9, but I have shortliste... | |

| Vinyl Reason The straw that broke the camel's back for me was the poor remastering to CD of some of my favorite LP's.Why sit through that when you can just play the record? | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? Another factor to consider is that many of the high end cable manufacturers outsource to China, which is notorious for this sort of thing.I suspect that many of the "fakes" are produced at the same factory as the authorized cables, and, in fact, a... | |
| VPI Scout ... move to Scoutmaster or even further I have The Scout + 20XH, as you do.I think that, at this point, the limiting factor is the cartridge, not the table. For example, I had a Benz M0.9 that lacked the dynamics of the Dynavector, but added significant detail. Too bad I broke it.I will... | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? I normally buy the first one from an authorized dealer, then I have something to compare to when I buy subsequest ones used. |
