| Opinions on MC cart and arm for Lenco/Home Depot? Well Tempered Arm and any mc you fancy!Works very well with DNM Aciore or ZYX R10-02.It's the oldest, cheapest wt and it's fabulous.Simon | |
| Where to put damping sheets? On a bad night, one strip of cvc over each ear usually makes the system more bareable! | |
| Original Hydra vs. newer power condotioners I had the Hydra 8 then bought the original.The 8 is more detailed/dynamic but was a bit bright/forward in my system.I could have lived wiyh either but found the original more musical in my system.Liked the level of protection that the 8 supposedly... | |
| Pass X-250 with REL sub Hi Terry,Thanks for that. It had occured to me to try this.I'll check this out.Simon | |
| BAT or other Valve pre for PASS X-250 Thanks for that, I will try it with other speaker cables but the HMS are IMO, very, very hard to beat.I have some Kimber and Xindak I can try when I can sort out some spade connectors.My speakers are Virgo 111's at 90dB and the noise is not really... | |
| Pass X-250 with REL sub Thanks for that guys.Seemingly because the Pass is not grounded at the speaker terminals (floating earth, I think is the term, something to do with the balanced design), it will upset things by the sub only being grounded to one terminal(or not as... | |
| BAT or other Valve pre for PASS X-250 Hi Overhang,Got it last July and it gave a constant 'buzz' through my speakers (noticeable from about 15ft away at the listening position), after months of being told it was a grounding loop, which I knew was not the case (I tried it in three othe... | |
| BAT or other Valve pre for PASS X-250 Hi Guys, Thanks for that.I am using the Pass with a 20 year lod Musical Fidelity ss pre-amp which probably does not do it justice but find it far to solid state sounding compared to my Nu-Vista integrated which it was supposed to replace.HMS Gran ... | |

| LP12 Valhalla power - wood finishes Hi there,I have 5 of these. It's Afromosia, no question.The Wanut plinths are more of a yellow color with bigger grain, the Rosewood/Mahogany? are not fluted, or at least none that I have ever seen.Afromosia ones can be light or dark depending on ... | |
| Cry me a river Have to agree, Eva Cassidy could wring tears from a Stone,but surely anyone who loves music, loves women and loves life would admit that over the years, dependent on ones circumstances lots of different music can move you to tears.For it's sheer b... | |
| YBA DT integrated vs. Musical Fidelity A308 Hi There,I have for the last few years (almost) used a set of Virgo 111's with a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista integrated, which is much the same circuiutry & power as their A308.This is a fabulous match, the Virgos IMO need a decent amount of pow... | |
| Quicksilver pre to 240V Thanks for that Marakanetz,exactly as I thought - the deed is done so I shall just have to wait & see.Interesting point as Pass just serviced and adjusted an X250 to 240V for $100, great service nice people. Camelot C.E.O took the trouble, wit... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Hi there,being in the u.k. I have never heard many of the american tables - I did hear an Oracle many years ago which impressed greatly.I have ten tables most of which are 'sprung'- I won't bore you with the details.I would suggest trying your Rok... | |
| Carbon Fibre boards for Linn? Thanks guys, I knew about cetech - I think it was extreme phono I was looking at - do these things work.The idea seems sensible but I've found this doesn't always improve the sound.Cheers Simon |
