Best cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Signature
Add Lyra Delos and Kleos to the list. I mounted a Lyra Kleos on my tricked-out VPI Classic (reg 1/2 plinth and Classic 3 tonearm). Phenominal performing combo. They seem to work on the longer heavier VPI arms, but my Kleos had pretty noticeable si... 
JPS Superconductor Q
Hey,Yes, I did try them in my system. After listening to the Q's for half a day or more, I put the Cross back in. I then put the HERO back in. HERO w/WBT rca's is definately week on the bottom in compared to the other two. It is the most detailed ... 
JPS Superconductor Q
So, the Q seems neutral but may be a bit thin in the mids. Comparing to Cardas Cross which is a bit too soft and my HERO w/WBT rca's which is a bit bright. I am thinking I need to try Neutral Reference and Golden Presence.Ideas?Thanks,Robert A. Ober 
JPS Superconductor Q
Thanks, I am looking for a touch of warmth and bass weight.The Cable Company is also sending Cardas Cross at my suggestion. They did not think my system should be bright but it sometimes is. Not harsh but elevated between about 3k upward. I apprec...

Table radio options for kids room
So after upgrading my amp to a Classe' CA-2200, which is fed by a Classe' CP-500, I again connect the Tivoli Model 3 to the preamp and marveled at the quality. Listening to the low power KTSU Jazz station one can tell they are not using the low qu... 
Table radio options for kids room
I have the Model 3 and it would be at least 5 years old. I plug it in to the HiFi as a tuner and it is quite good. Through the speaker they probably EQ it but it is very analog sounding. Place against a wall or in a corner and you might be amazed.... 
Classe' CP-500 Questions
So, got my CA-2200 today. Really nice, lost the hard mids and upper mid peak of the Rotel 1582. Surprising also lost some of the fullness(as in body of the instruments) and bass. Hopefully I will get some of that back as the Classe' runs in. It is... 
Classe' CP-500 Questions
So y'all mad at me or no CP-500 owners/former owners around? Would appreciate some help as I have yet to get Classe to call me back.Should be getting a CA-2200 tomorrow to go with it. Rotel 1582 going back. Good amp but I am used to better constru...

Classe' CP-500 Questions
Hey Again,Forgot to ask if anyone has heard the phono module. Cordesman thought it was pretty good.Thanks,Robert:-) 
the perfect tonearm
"The GCPH should have enough gain for a mid-output MC, I think. And can you say why you think the NAD amp is causing hum in that system? Phono hum is caused by a long list of grounding issues that usually occur upstream from the input of a linesta...

"What album are you refering to when you mention "Captain and Me" ?""The Captain And Me" by the Doobie Brothers. IMHO, it is their best effort:-)
