| Speaker cable for Wilson sophia and Pass labs X250 It will depend upon individual taste to too great an extent to give a definitive answer, otherwise there would be only one product in each price range. The Kimber is very good, it would help to know what you thought was lacking in its performance. | |
| Amp Comparison procedure. Amp off when not in use? Philjolet, it sounds as if you listen as I do, let your whole mind experience the sound. Experiencing sound and analyzing it are two different processes, try to see if it sounds "right" to you first and then try to discover the reasons later. | |
| Mono recordings - Listen with one speaker or two?? To properly listen to mono you should cover one ear, otherwise the stereo perspective of using 2 ears will degrade the pure mono experience. I started with mono, 2 speakers are better. | |
| The Hub: Bowers & Wilkins 801: Good, Bad, or Ugly? I have had B&Ws starting with their first model, the P2H, then the DM70, DM3 and so on. I was a dealer for some time in the 80s sold some 801s. Use to be able to pick one up and carry it by myself; can't do that anymore. They had a better bass... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I sell and use VDH ICs, which have a very accurate but relaxed sound. They come in a metal screened version, which I use between my VPI and step up. They come up used on Audiogon from tine to time at a price that is reasonable for a top IC. You mi... | |
| For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work? I used the older VPI speed control with my Ovation and worked fine. | |
| Need help with Ariston RD 90 I doubt if any would be available after all this time. I was an Ariston dealer but don't remember a speed controller. If a current one like the Project or VPI would work [and I have no idea if they would] that would probably be the best bet. I use... | |
| classe dr 9 owners: please inform I had one years ago, noticed the darkness commented on. Went to Meridian 605s which I still have. Musical Fidelity M3 is an all round better amp, both of these have better high end detail and transparency. The M3 has much better bass, the 605s are... | |

| You prefer Mosfets or Bipolar outputs in amps? The amp design is the critical factor to a greater degree than transistor type. I have used both, have both now. One advantage of mosfets is that they can handle more power per pair. The GamuT amps only use one pair for 200 watts, some can handle ... | |
| Speaker jumper cables--a type of sound? It makes more difference than you would think. I would go with ones from the same company as the main cables, not necessarily the same size. I have Cardas GRs and their jumper is much smaller but still works well. | |
| Sme 3009 II ..... wich cartridge? It will not work well with the moving coils. The V-15 is apparently out of production but the 97 is still available. The MM Ortofons would also be good. Look for a compliance above 20, the Shure dates from an era when ones above 40 were common. I ... | |
| Choke regulation vs power conditioner For surge protection the Brick Wall works well. For sound quality dedicated lines have been better for me than power conditioners. My NuVista M3 has choke regulation but since I don't have an identical amp without it it is hard to say how much it ... | |
| VTA adjustment for Linn LP-12 I see I actually spelled Michell correctly, I usually want to add a T; if I had looked at yours I would have known. I was a dealer for them 15 years ago and got a product sheet from them last winter which I thought listed a VTA device but I can't ... | |
| Importance of Good Speaker Stands? I use Star Sound and Atabits , both of which I am a dealer for. Both work well but as pointed out aren't cheap. But you don't need that much of them, too much will deaden the sound. I use to use lead and these are better. Someone recommended steel... |
