| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? I have worked with Chris in the past and will again in the future, most likely on an NG MKlll very similar to yours. His work is gorgeous. The MKlll has great flexibility and in my opinion, when well implemented, there really is no better table. R... | |
| The DOORS 45's- Any standouts sound wise? I have the entire box and like them all. The best sounding three in my opinion are Strange Days, Morrison Hotel and Soft Parade. | |
| Quality of Analogue Productions pressings My impression is that the quality control has been improving and is drastically better than early efforts. In my experience they currently are among the most consistent and I don't hesitate to buy their products if they appeal to me. | |
| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? Try the Vinyl Flat and pouch. It works great, especially for dish warping on new heavy vinyl. $150 complete. | |
| Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF? Wouldn't the key be to have lighting and dimmer on a separate circuit or even a different sub panel? I use dimmers in my home theater/listening room to great effect and notice no problems with noise. My components do run from a separate sub panel ... | |
| Allnic family The volume control on my preamp was sending static to the speakers when I moved it. They sent me a new attenuator at no charge and didn't even inquire about warranty status or anything else. So yeah, I would say they stand behind their products ad... | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers Jeff, I see you have your 5As listed for sale. Will you be switching to a different speaker? If so, do you mind me asking what that might be? | |
| Stevie Ray Vaughan Yes. Six albums on a total of 12 discs all in a box very similar, if not identical, to the box to The Doors Infinite set. | |
| Vandersteen Amp? Audioconnection,You're maybe the best one to ask. Do you have any experience with the M7-HPA or is it still in development? I'm sure it will be a quality product and a near ideal match for the 7, 5 and Quatro speakers for those who can part with t... | |
| Vandersteen Amp? My guess is what you end up with for this price is an amp that is a near perfect match for the speaker in question. You could certainly spend that much chasing your tail trying out amps until you found merely a very good match.I would guess it's t... | |
| Stevie Ray Vaughan As most of you may know, AP/QRP has a forthcoming SRV 45 rpm 6 LP box. If the Doors box is any indication, this will be pretty impressive. $400 is a lot of money no doubt but this should be one of the best sounding and most luxurious packages of h... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? Well, I do know now that John has a pair of 7s in New Jersey. I'm going to try to set up an audition there this spring when I'm out that way anyway. I think it's the best place to hear them anyway. Many speak of John almost as highly as they do of... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? Rower, Thanks for your input. You've obviously had a chance to hear the 5A Carbon at some point. I've never had any objection to the midrange on my 5As but if the new driver makes it notably better it's definitely worthwhile. The biggest downside ... | |
| Latest Pink Moon Reissue I got the Pink Moon deluxe box for 59.99 from Sound Stage Direct. Last I checked they still had some in stock. It is a great album and the sound quality of the reissue is flat out addictive. I don't know for sure but I heard that the regular album... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? The 5A is still listed on the Vandersteen price section at $19,000/pair. The 5A Carbon is at $24,000. The 7 takes you to $48,000. The slope steepens quickly. This is why if the carbon upgrade indeed gives half the improvement as the jump to the 7 ... |
