| Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today? Well I asked that same question about 4 years ago and decided with some advice from my dealer to go with CD only. Here it is 4 years later and SACD is still struggling to get shelf space. There is still no certainty about it. There are still few t... | |
| How to setup on turntable I would give Jeff @ audible arts a call. He's a terrific guy and will help out with your setup. I don't live in San Jose anymore, but he was the only dealer that didn't throw a certain brand or upsell me. audiblearts.comRob | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4 Jr Room and amp Requirements I have my VR4 jr's in a 12x11' room. It took some time, but they can work in a small room. You will need room treatment to kill some of the brightness. Id also consider bass traps for the corners. The reason I decided on the VR4 jrs was because ... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I am full of of envy, jelousy, and strife because I haven't run out and bought a meinter, oh when will I have peace again...LOLWe've made our point. I'm ready to move on until the next thread. If it's hype and not about the personal enjoyment and ... | |
| Cry me a river A bunch of grown men crying. What has this hobby brought us to? Rob | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I agree with audio99, all the wonderful words aren't going to make the meitner as good as analog. I believe there are people who have spent a tremendous amount of money thinking they could have the best of the best with Meitner. When in the back o... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Clapton was a decent blues guitarist. He was popular, but he didn't play anything spectacular. He wrote some good pop/blues songs, but to say he was a great, I don't know - show me some challenging riffs that he did. I haven't heard anything new o... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. Jack is right. You have a lot to look forward to. But save yourself the misery and break them in before trying to do too much. I spent way too much time on placement because they weren't broken in yet. So I really couldn't judge the best location ... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Awww LPs I love the sound. Oh wrong post. I'm so uncivilized, a barbarian of the audio world | |
| My VPI Scout has arrived If you need something cheap just get the record doctor 2, I think around $200. It does the same thing as the 16.5 but you have to do a little more work yourself. I have one, each record takes me about about 25 seconds to clean. Just as efective al... | |
| Broke and still not happy Use a competent dealer. He will lead you to what works and what doesn't together. I'm lucky enough to have one but they are rare. Find someone that just sells the brands that he believes to be the best. Avoid dealers that are stuck selling specifi... | |
| Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright I agree get rid of the monster cables. Make your own if you are tight with the budget. Are you sure it's not the room you are in? Rob | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I love it. A bunch of Meitner bandwagoners afraid they might not have the best. Other posts may have been just people justifying their purchase. If you bought it then it must be the best - right? keep the battle going this is fun. Come on shoot so... | |
| VPI scout owners...Question here... no worries. It's normal. Rob | |
| Listening Fatigue I would say:1) lack of proper room treatment causing brightness2) bright sounding systems or components3) CDs, many are recorded badly and are bright |
