| VTA adjustment for Linn LP-12 VPIs is good but even though I am a dealer I have not had one in so long I am not sure if it would help, my memory is that it adjusts from the top. I have been thinking about getting one for an LP 12 I have. I think Michell [sp.?] also makes one. | |
| 1st setup failed, need advice for B&W N805 amp If all else fails NAD will drive the 805s. I have a 3140 driving a pair in the system I set up in my wife's craft room which is a little bigger. But try everything else first. | |
| Your impressions on Blue circle Thingee HO SBU Hansom is as hansom does.Forrest Gump | |
| Spendor ST vs. B&W 803d vs. PMC PB1i ??? I would also suggest the IB2i. There is a favorable review of them in the current HIFICRITIC. They said in part" It delivers a muscular , authoritative and fundamentally accurate sound which makes many domestic speakers sound like wimps". I am als... | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered Few active preamps are as good as a good passive. The best active ones are better but cost much more. The current issue of HIFICRITIC tests three active preamps. The Aesthetix Calypso got a score of 20 with current production tubes, 26 with NOS on... | |
| Is it best to isolate?? I was not clear, I use three but they come with a top and bottom with the ball bearing intended to be between them; I only use one piece as I have found that to sound better, as a side benefit you get twice as many with only additional ball bearin... | |
| Is it best to isolate?? You can overdamp but isolation helps. I use FIM cups with tungsten carbide ball bearings under my DAC and transport. Use only one with marble tile on top of the ball bearing. Based on Barry Diament's design. I have a Star Sound rack which is also ... | |
| Dual Subs Two are better, I have used both. Look at Sumiko web site for good info on subs. | |
| Musical fidelity A1008 VS Bat vk-300se I am using a NuVista M3 with my Mini Utopias. I think that it, the TriVista, the 500 or 550 would all be better choices than the 1008. | |
| How good is your memory Muzikat, I was going to post the same thing. LOL. | |
| Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines I had 15 done, will use 20 the next time. | |
| MF NuVista M3 Phono Stage I have the same problem. My latest thinking is that since they were so paranoid about the buyer opening the amp they may have left the info out. Mine is currently being repaired and I have ask the tech to look carefully for a switch. I am not as c... | |
| Van Den Hul carbon cables The metal screened are intended for use as phono cables with tables such as the VPI which have a junction box. They would be appropriate if you have or are afraid of hum problems. The standard VDH can pick up hum in rare cases , thus the metal scr... | |
| Phono cable idea's It is true that I am a VDH dealer. in this incarnation I have sold 0 cables and do not sell on the internet. I was a dealer some 15 years ago also and still have every one I bought then. I bought some used in the period when I was not a dealer and... | |
| Time to move on from my old SOTA ? That was it, my eyes are not what they were. Don't tell Dynavector, they might cut me off as a dealer. |
