| Gingko vs 4" Maple Platform Has anyone compared a Gingko to a SRA (Silent Running Audio)VR3? I think the VR3 would also be about $600. I have them under my preamp and amp. They are a huge improvement over Maple. | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? I am a tube guy, but the best SS preamp I have ever heard is the Placette Audio active. | |
| Return to forever Al DiMeola, Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, and Lenny White. | |
| Return to forever I will be going to see them this month in Indianapolis. Looking forward to it. | |
| Two Arm VPI No need for a second arm. With the JMW arms if you just get another 10.5 arm wand all you need to do is set up your mono cartridge on it. set your vtf, vta, azimuth, etc. You are ready to go. The second arm wand will have it's own counterweight. W... | |
| Mono Cartridge, is it worth the investment? Sorry,I did not mean to imply that the value would increase. I am well aware that audio is not a hobby to make money on. I have a VPI 12.5 arm, so if I got another arm wand a second cartridge can be set up with proper vta, vtf, azimuth, etc, and t... | |
| What Vinyl quality should I be using? Getting started in analog is much more expensive than just buying a cd player, but if you truly love music it is the only way to go in my opinion. I agree that a wet cleaner LP RCM is a nessessity. I recommend a VPI 16.5. Works well and is reliabl... | |
| What Vinyl quality should I be using? Not true! I have many "standard" LP's that sound much better than 180 or 200gm reissues. I hate it when people make sweeping statements like that. The quality of sound has more to do with proper recording than whether it is on "Audiophile" vinyl. | |
| Looking for the BEST Version of Quadrophenia? I bought the MCA remaster of the cd, but I have to say that on my system the domestic LP sounds better. This is just my experience on my system. | |
| Have You Tried the Super Platter I have talked to Harry at VPI on the phone several times and I must say that he is a wealth of information and one of the nicest guys I have ever talked to. I own a VPI Aries 2 extended TT with JMW 12.5 arm and ZYX Atmos cartridge. I know many peo... | |
| Berning ZH-270 Tube Swap I use Tung Sol 12at7's in my Berning ZH270. They sound great. I think the other 2 tubes are GE 5 star 5965's. | |
| setting azimuth on VPI turntables You are right. Setting up the table correctly is critical. I have a VPI Aries 2 Extended table with a JMW 12.5 arm and a ZYX Atmos cartridge. I am lucky to have friends who are very knowledgeable about turntable setup. One of them has been helping... | |
| Parasound JC-1 power amplifier I have a friend that has the JC-1. It is a excellent sounding pair of power amps. Who can say what is best? This is totally subjective. I hate when someone says this is the best power amp, preamp, etc in the world. Even if you have heard every oth... | |
| Supratek out of business All good things come to an end. For those who own a Supratek, you are very lucky to be blessed with beautiful music. Supratek (the company) may not have lasted a lifetime, but be assured that Mick built his equipment to last a lifetime. | |
