| Upgrading VPI Jr to VPI MK 3 I started out with a VPI Jr., then upgraded to the mk3, and now I have gone to the mk4. DO the upgrade! Each upgrade pulled more music out of the grooves of every LP I put on the table. Music is much more dynamic now with greater low level detail ... | |
| Great Percussion Recordings Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I was lucky enough to get a copy of Dafos on LP. It is a fantastic recording. If you can find one, jump on it. Track 14 on Emmylou Harris "Spyboy" has a drum solo by drummer Brady Blade. It sounds like he is in... | |
| Solid state amplifier $2K Used or New You owe it to yourself to listen to a Audio Research 100.2 SS amp. I have owned a Bryston 4b NRB and the 100.2 totally blows it away in my opinion. The 100.2 has all the smooth non fatiging sound of a great tube amp without the hassles. It is a re... | |
| Audio Research Convert... I also have the ARC 100.2 amp mated with the Audible Illusions M3A preamp. The rest of my system consists of a VPI mk4 TT, Pioneer PD54 stable platter CD player and I recently purchased a pr. of Gallo Nucleus Reference speakers. Gmele, you are rig... | |
| T.G. Audio I.C. cables? I also own a pair of TG Audio HSR cables. They sound great. They are a silver cable and they are much more pliable than most IC's. If you go to tweakshop.com then click on accessories you will get a link to TG Audio. Click on it and on the second ... | |
| Delphi owners- BDR carbon clamp Vince, I have the BDR Clamp for the VPI turntable. I get the same type of results that you are describing. I paid $150 for my clamp used. They truly are a big sonic improvement over stock clamps. Enjoy! | |
| Gallo Nucleus Reference The rest of my system consists of: Audible Illusions preamp, Audio Research 100.2 power amp, Pioneer PD54 Stable Platter CD player, VPI mk4 TT with JMW Memorial tonearm and Glider cartridge, MIT and Bob Crump HSR cables. | |
| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 I agree with Rogerroger, I have had an Audible Illusions M3A in my system for the last 4 years and I have absolutely no desire to replace it. It is a wonderful sounding preamp and has a very neutral sound, not tubey. I have used it with a Bryston ... | |
| Power Cord Advice I just recently bought the Bob Crump HSR Power Cord used on Audiogon for $115, and it sounds great. I really like the fact that it is flexible, not big and stiff like so many of the power cords out there today. sonics are wonderful and the price i... | |
| Best speaker in nearfield listening I sit 6 Feet from my Gallo Nucleus Reference speakers and the soundstage and imaging is uncanny. It is as if the speakers disappear. | |
| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC Mapleleaf, you can go to tweakshop.com website then click on accessories and a link for TG Audio will come up. It gives some good info on Both the HSR power cords and on Bob Crumps interconnects (of which I have one for sale). | |
| Anyone tried Voodoo or TG Audio PCs? I just bought a TG Audio HSR Power Cord for my power amp (Audio Research 100.2). It was a big improvement over the stock power cord, but I have not had time to compare it to the Master Coupler that is on my preamp (Audible Illusions). The TG Audio... | |

| "Load" end of IC s, which direction? Thanks for the help guys. | |
| Tube preamps under 2K with 2 outputs? Audible Illusions 3A has 2 outputs and great sound, especially if you are into vinyl. |
