About to buy Aerial 9s, BUT want to ask first...
I have owned the Aerial 9s and had to sell them because of a move to a smaller room. They just did not work in that room which was 13x15x8. I had the model 6 before I traded up to the 9s and they would work in your room. The model 6 are actually l... 
Sirius and Walker
Maybe the tonearm wire insulation on the Sirius hardened up over time? I find it hard to believe it was like that when new. 
Some tables have soul and some not
Syntax,I did not know you where into rim drive tables.I think that guy needed a bit more tracking force. 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Tubegroove,I agree that if you're into large scale music a large room is the way to go. I also agree that it is worth the investment. I'm just saying that if it's not in your budget or there is no possiblity for expansion it's not the end of the w... 
help identifying bass solutions with system
Sounds like you are experiencing acoustic feedback. Are your woofers pumping?You may need to relocate your turntable to a better location. You want to keep it away from the speakers and the corners of your room. If that does not work you could try... 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Tubegroover,I agree some people overlook the rooms contribution but it is not feasable to move to a better room or improve the room in some cases. It is possible to improve a sub optimal rooms sound by changing your gear to suit the room. That doe... 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Most people get into Hi-Fi because they love music and they want to hear it reproduced as well as possible. I don't understand why anyone would do it for any other reason. If someone has another reason they do this please enlighten me. Can someone... 
Strange low frequency noise when playing vinyl.
Arnold,How old is your table?I have not worried about cleaning the inside of bearing in the platter. I just clean the shaft. If your turntable is quite old and the grease is dried up you could use some lacquer thinner to flush it out. I don't know... 
Strange low frequency noise when playing vinyl.
I can think of two possible causes.First I would pull the platter off and examine the bearing. If you did not assemble the table yourself pull the platter straight up and it should come right off. Vpi recommends that you relube it once a year. You...

world's best preamp closest to real sound stage
Anyone notice this thread is 7 years old?The op's system is completely different now. Why do people resurrect old threads? Why not just start a new one?That said I happen to think that the preamp is a very important piece of the puzzle. Buy the be... 
is it time to mention tonearm's length again?
Sorry, meant to say less tracing error. 
is it time to mention tonearm's length again?
Avs9, It sounds like you think a 12 inch arm mounts in the same location as a 9 inch arm. A 12 inch arm needs to mount farther away from the spindle than a 9 inch to accommodate its extra length. A longer arm will scribe a flatter arc so there wil... 
Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s
Dre,Can you describe the difference between trackability and traceability?Thanks,Sean 
Is Stax headphone still in business
I heard the new SR-009 Stax at RMAF with a Blue Hawaii SE amp and was blown away. I don't really care for headphones much but this combo has changed my mind. The price is sky high but if I had to give up my speakers that is the headphone rig I wou...
