VPI Motor Upgrade Kit
im running a scout, a later model, and really happy with what the sds has added. but of course, im wondering if the 300 rpm would provide any added benefit. is there anyone who has just done the motor upgrade with a scout and sds can comment?thanks 
VPI Motor Upgrade Kit
would there be any need/benefit upgrading to the 300 rpm if im already using an sds?

what's involved in upgrading to a teres dc motor. it's not just popping the motor in, right? 
dac or upgrade player
well, somewhat of a different fix, but by replacing the sim's pre with a bottlhead foreplay, things have really improved. the tubes have a very positive, smoothed out effect on the normal harshness associated with cd's. and yet the sim's fast amp ... 
dac or upgrade player
what im looking for is better sound. what does that sound like? im not sure i know. as i said, things sound pretty good. the arcam does have a detachable power cord, but my one after market cord is being used by my amp. i guess my real question is... 
Best table in $1500 range
im a scout/jmw-9 owner, and i think the vta on the the jmw-9 is fine. it's not quite "on the fly", but pretty close. a little loosening of the screws in the base of the arm, and then you essentially can fine tune vta while the record is spinning. ... 
Decware Zen with Paradigm?
Thanks for your responses, and the link to the speakers. Assuming i want to keep my speakers for now, any suggestions for other tube amps in the $1000 range? I'm presently using a Bottlehead Foreplay pre with a NAD C370 amp while my Sim Audio Moon... 
VTF Scale
so you have been putting your cart(is it a moving coil?) directly on the scale without any problems? if so, looks like i'm going to have to try this out. 
VTF Scale
nghiep, you mentioned in the earlier thread that the 120 z isn't magnetic. how do you know that? im looking for a scale and would prefer to get a non magnetic if possible. thanks. 
Ella Fitzgerald Classic 45
sorry audiobugged, that was me who picked it up on ebay. and it is terrific by the way. just sorry that classic didn't go all the way and include the whole album. i have an original mono copy that sounds great by the way, and wasn't tough to find.... 
good phono amp under 1000?
second the dynavector p-75...true giant killer especially low output mc's. because relatively few own one in the states(it's big across the pond) you don't hear very much about it. check out this month's hi-fi+ for a great review... 
Disappearing Speakers Sound Better To You ?
Spencer,Thanks for your feedback. Very useful. My dealer also sells Joseph Audio RM7, Revel M20 , as well as the Paradigm Signature line. I really would like to go through them because they will offer me 2/3(about $670) in credit for what I paid f... 
Disappearing Speakers Sound Better To You ?
interesting topic...so what might it mean if i don't get much disapearing? i have a pair of paradigm studio reference 20 v.2 and am planning on upgrading soon, maybe to the paradigm signature s2's. but things sound good, i get very good centering,...
