| New arm for Well Tempered TT A while ago, a fellow named Lary Pederson was offering an extremely cost effective modification to the arm (it was something like $395). I'm not sure if he does this anymore. Anyone have information on this? | |
| Shelter 901 Cartridge Okay, I've heard anough about these to want to give them a go. Does anyone know of a US source for the Shelters? Thank you. | |
| Hales System II Signature I wasn't aware of the negative publicity on chat rooms (whichchat rooms, anyway). I just remember that these were Class A on the Stereophile list for a while and got 3 stars in TAS a few years back. Would anyone have the specs. on these speakers (... | |
| upgrade JMW 10 to 10.5 I have the 10.5 and never had a chance to compare directly with the 10.0 I do know that Weisfeld used a 12.5 on his new TNT V at the NYC Expo (sounded terrible but then again, it was a tiny little hotel room). As for phono cables, I like Nordost b... | |
| upgrade JMW 10 to 10.5 Can't comment on the upgrade but you'd be surprised at the improvement that can be brought about to an Aries by using either a Seismic Sink or a Big Rock/Air Mass combination under the unit. The differences are nowhere close to being subtle. | |
| Classe' amps Has anyone found a particular power cord that works well with the Classe 15 or the DR6? I've tried a few aftermarket brands but wasn't convinced that they did anything better (different,yes... better, I don't know). | |
| Hales System II Signature Thanks for the updates on the System II. Would either of you know if they would work with tube amp and what their efficieny was. Right now, I'm using them with a Classe DR6/DR15 combo but would like to look into tube amps. Thanks again. | |
| VPI Aries vs. VPI TNT III I have a TNT version 2.5 (close to III) and it's been nothing but steady over the short while that I've had it. Once it was set up, it remained set up. Currently using the 10.5 arm and an AT-OC9 (anyone have a good cartridge recommendation). I wou... | |
| Shelter 901 Cartridge Anyone have insights into Salvatore's claims that the Shelter is the exact same cartridge as a mega-bucks "hi-fi" brand name unit? If this is true, this has to be one of the biggest scams running. Also, is this only available direct from Japan? | |
| DENON DL-130,Still a good cartridge? The moderator of one of the web hi-fi pages (Art Salvatore)can't say enough about the DL-103. I'd like to have somemore information before I buy one from overseas. Thanks | |
| Turntable setup in New York City Help I agree with the previous poster. Having lived in NYC fornearly 16 years, I can assure you that you will do a farbetter (and careful) job of doing this than any dealer inthe Metro area. Tons of resources on the 'Net. | |
| VPI owners--recommended upgrade Can't comment on the air suspension vs springs issue with the TNT but one big improvement is to use a Bright Start TNT and the Air Mass TNT combination under the table. This is a major upgrade over the Deluxe Justarack I was using. Also, Weisfeld ... | |
| The TURNTABLE seen on "Tomb Raider" I got another one: in "Indecent Proposal", Robert Redford'scharacter cues up an Eminent Technology 2 tonearm mountedon what looks like a VPI TNT prior to asking Demi Moore'scharacter to dance. And yes, it was a Red Rose 3 speakerin "Sex and the Ci... | |
| Theil/Classe 6, and listener fatigue Hi, I have the same speakers and preamp but also use a Classe DR15 amp. I would definitely look into replacing the Rotel CD player. Pick up a Proceed or CAL unit used on Ebay or if you can afford it, the Resolution Audio. | |
| Tonearm for VPI HW MkIII Hi Slowhand, Was the $895 for a brand new arm or for a used arm. If you could provide further info., I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks. |
