| ZYX cartridges Redtop's comment was so dumb that I had to see if all his comments were like this, and right near the top I saw:"05-04-08: RedtopStay as far away from a shure v 15 as you can."Redtop (Answers)Pretty sad. | |
| "Classic Yes" album question... Stick with your original pressing! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Lloyd Walker's Next Shocker Philo,Yeah, LOL, I guess I am a tease. Not my place to say much more at this time, unfortunately.Cheers,Spencer | |
| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Pedrillo,If you are planning on using this preamp w/Merlins and BAM, then the passive pre suggestion is not applicable for you. The BAM will perform far better using the buffered output of an active preamp (covered in MANY OTHER threads in detail)... | |
| Installing a VPI stainless steel ring? Call them, they'll definitely send you tighter rubber rings. Mine never have been too loose to stay on the ring's perimeter.Best to place LP on platter, then ring on the LP. You have the best warp compensation next to the $1800 Air Tight machine. ... | |
| The space between the speakers With most speakers, the distance from the wall behind will make more of a difference, especially in tonal balance. The cabinet's impact is usually reduction in image specificity and soundstaging. It depends on what matters to you. Good room acoust... | |
| Best Amp/Pre-amp combo for $2000 -2200 The used Ars Sonum integrated that I just saw listed here would be a great match, but it won't last long. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Best balanced signal cable Ralph is right, Mogami is hard to beat, especially for the price. You can find many places to order custom terminated pairs at custom lengths for dirt cheap(e.g. $65 for 20ft. pair inc. Neutrik XLRs). ebay has tons of sellers look for musical inst... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? HW,Thanks for participating. It's exciting to see you post here.FYI, Mike is a gem; but you already know that :-)Cheers,Spencer | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? Madfloyd,SDS is a box that plugs between the ac cord and the wall. It helps keep speed consistently at 33.33 or 45rpm. Walker Audio's Motor Controller is a competing product that does the same thing. Although that might improve your overall sound ... | |
| Best 6JN6 for Berning ZH-270 Mechans just summarized every tube post that I've ever read. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? Stop thinking of spending on ANYTHING until you figure out what's wrong. Tfkaudio & Sonofjim are likely correct. Lower the VTA so the tonearmis lower than parallel at its base. This should increase bass. Make sure your VTF is set a the highest... | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp Guys, yes the Amperex BugleBoy has a cartooned bugle-playing character etched on the glass (orange colored). Try reading "Joe's tube lore" on audioasylum to get good info on the many 6922/6dj8s etc. FWIW, I agree the BugleBoys are nice but a tad w... | |
| tube burnout Makes no sense, your pre is a lemon. Whoever told you it's fine is wrong. If that was the manufacturer re: warranty demand a replacement. If it's not under warranty, ship it to Bob Backert in PA to repair it. He's a wizard. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp You guys need to spend more time in used record stores. ;-) |
