| VPI SSM lacking bite I forgot to mention, I do have Cerabases I use elsewhere in system. IME, this is not the best way to go in aleviating the problems you have. Cerrabases tend to soften the sound just a bit compared to spikes and/or Aurios. I would go back to trying... | |
| back to ask again long sorry All the power related stuff sounds reasonable. I don't get the breaking and re-establishing IC thing, this has nothing to do with power issues.I don't recall if this has already been mentioned, but it sounds like you may have an over-voltage situa... | |
| VPI SSM lacking bite Lack of bite and softened transients are part of the problem with my SSM setup, I'm still in the process of figuring out the problem. I've worked on isolation and modding phono pre to this point, still not where I want it.Others claim these proble... | |
| New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor I've been on both sides of this one. It is absolutely not your right to listen to music as loud as you like. Check the laws, there are loudness ordinances where I live. I called the police regularly on one particular neighbor who used to crank his... | |
| capacitor upgrade I don't understand why you want to change from non-polarized to polarized, don't need to. Also, film caps, which are a worthwhile upgrade, are all non-polarized. | |
| back to ask again long sorry One guess. You say sound is perfect for first twenty minutes or thirty minutes. Hard to maintain perfection, only downhill from there. Have you thought you may be setting yourself up for disappointment, any little anomolie is eventually exposed.If... | |
| Jolida JD9A or Dynavector P75 phono stage? I'll take the Dynavector any day, richer, more pleasing presentation. The Jolida sounded rather dry and analytical in comparison. A modded Jolida could be another story. | |
| VPI JMW 10.5i and Dynavector XX2 MK II This should be a good match, compliance fits tonearm mass. 100ohm loading seems to be a good match for Dynavectors. I use just a touch of damping fluid, start with just a touch, add more until you start hearing the slightest loss of life, dampenin... | |
| Trade offs? It seems musicality is only your perogitive to define for yourself. In looking up the definition of musicality I find there are so many meanings that it is mostly undefinable. Rather it is a feeling, thus, a semantic and/or subjective term.It is p... | |
| Regular Cardas interconnects for VPI? I've not noticed any difference in shielding between same exact models of IC's vs. phono cables. IC's also seem to be just as likely to be shielded as phono cables. Really very few unshielded IC's out there, even the most elementary have a twist o... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I've tried the Stillpoints ERS cloth wrapped around various IEC's in my equipment, serves same function. Sometimes beneficial, other times deadens the sound, not using any in present setup. | |
| Regular Cardas interconnects for VPI? Some claim dedicated phono interconnects are better as they are generally smaller guage, somehow better preserve the integrity of the very low level cartridge output signal. I've never compared the two directly, just use regular IC. | |
| Trade offs? MrTennis, while your contentions may be logical, they are more an academic argument than applicable to what we're discussing here.I understand the jargon of sonics to be understood as semantics rather than objective descriptions. Therefore, musica... | |
| Trade offs? Just sticking to cd playback. Your can get both high resolution and musicality, I've heard it with GNSC modded top-of-line Esoteric and Wadia players (my highly modded digital setup is pretty close). High resolution is relatively easy with digital... | |
| Is cable synergy important? I don't see anyone here talking down your choice of Clear Day. You asked about cable synergy, got answers to that question. Now you do sound like a shill for Clear Day. |
