| Speed Control The KAB is smaller than a 12" LP, so you can just run the test with the KAB on top of a playing LP. | |
| Rack Recommendations I have the cherry shelves.Some people like MDF, some don't. I have my speakers (Totem Arro's) on MDF stands I made myself and they are okay. | |
| Rack Recommendations Pass x250.5 is pretty large. If you want to get that on the stand, it might be difficult to get the other stuff on the stand without stacking. You might want to go with a separate amp stand. Much better for cooling as well.Other than that, all I c... | |
| Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II? 1. VPI2. Whatever you get, make sure the IEC isn't too big or it will interfere with the back leg on that side. I wouldn't spend too much money. It's just feeding a motor.3. DigitalDeckCovers4. All kinds of good ones in that $ range. I have a Trig... | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Start with auditioning speakers. For metal, the frequency response should be fairly level until 40HZ. Otherwise you will have to integrate a sub. If you are getting subs for the HT, not really an issue. | |
| Best Bulk Cable Belden 19364. I also like the DH Labs stuff, but it can be difficult to terminate because of the large overall diameter. | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? I would add the Sansui TU-317 to the list. | |
| VPI Scout 1.1 Motor Noise Just took a look at mine to see if there are any other possible issues. Other than making sure the set screws are adequately tightened, I can't think of anything. Elusive disk have good customer service, so hopefully this can be resolved. | |
| VPI Scout 1.1 Motor Noise Can you run the motor away from the turntable to see if the noise is still present? If it isn't, double check that the pulley isn't rubbing against the platter. That happened to me once and I had a bit of a freak out. Check the power cord where it... | |
| Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor? Until someone can match the interface provided my Logitech Media Server + the screen and remote + web interface, I don't think there will be a true successor. | |
| Weakest Link? Your honest opinions. Amp & speakers.If you are going to fiddle with cables, use the LC-1 from the phono stage to the amp and get a nice phono cable like the VPI one for the tonearm to phono stage. That's how I have my Scout>Trigon VanguardII/VolcanoII>MD-209... | |
| $7K to spend on new turntable + arm Upgrading my own Scout is well down the list of priorities, but the Dr.Feickert Woodpecker 2 is one I wouldn't mind auditioning; but no dealers in Toronto so far. I'm especially interested in how the delrin platter sounds. Adjustable tonearm lengt... | |
| Lower volume with some XLR's? I made a coloured exploded diagram to help me keep this straight. Thoroughly confusing. | |
| Is the Simaudio Moon Eclipse good value? Help I once ran Nova + i-5 + Arros and it was an excellent combination. | |
| Is the Simaudio Moon Eclipse good value? Help I have the Nova in my stash and it is an excellent Redbook player. I can imagine the Eclipse being even better. At that price, I can't see you losing money if you don't like it. |
