| VPI turntables come with phono cables? I bought the shielded VDH but regular may work in some cases. If you have grounding problems just run a separate ground wire using single core Radio Shack wire, 20 or 22 gauge should work. One end to the post on the VPI junction box, the other to ... | |
| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? Audiofeil again with his constant refrain that anyone who disagrees with him is wrong. The uninformed might think this arises from an excess of ego but those of us trained in psychology know that it comes from feelings of inadequacy. | |
| VPI turntables come with phono cables? None of them do. You can use whatever you like; theirs are good, I also use VDH The First Ultimate. | |
| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? I still don't like them. | |
| Upgrade from Spendor SP 1/2, what's next? I am using SP 1/2 Es with a pair of REL Stadium subs, works very well. Use either MF M3 Nuvista [275 watts] or 4 Meridian 605 mono amps [300 total a side] to drive them. I would try a GOOD high powered transistor amp and see what I thought of the ... | |
| Best Tractor This protractor was apparently made by Yip , but I don't see its name given. Is it the Mint? | |
| Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor I though Herbies was one of them thar sexually transmitted deseases. | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s So we have to assume that when B&W gets good reviews, as they usually do, it is because of corrupt or deaf reviewers? One of the chief curses of a forum like this is the tendency of many to denounce the sound of components they do not personal... | |
| How to keep ic's and power cords from touching Pierre would have a heart attack if he saw mine; the first thing he always does is to make sure the your cables are properly aligned. Personally, I have given up ; if you attempt to put 4 amps , a preamp,a separate phono stage, a SUT , 2 DACs, 2 t... | |
| Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor I forgot to mention that I did get a maple platform from Timbernation last winter, took a little while but is quite good. On the other hand he told a friend of mine to send him diagrams for a custom stand but never followed up after he got them. S... | |
| Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor As an alternative to maple get a sheet of 5/8 or thicker MDF, use 3 thicknesses of it separated by Blutak or generic equivalent at corners and held together by brass screws at corners and in center. Home Depot will cut it to size. I have done this... | |
| Best Arm for Raven One? The two I know of in town here use Phantom. | |
| Technics SP-10 MKIIA tonearms The EPA -500 was the better arm according to contemporary tests, especially with the "H" arm tube. One was on here recently for under $1K. | |
| Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor Yes, I did. Pierre is a friend of mine and often has good ideas but this is not one of them. I tried one of his large $600 platforms that tilted the speaker upward and sat almost on the floor. Sounded VERY strange. I sold it to someone else who mo... | |
| Possible to use Subwoofer with Onix SP3 I should have added that this is for powered subs. It is possible also to buy or build a reduction device that converts the power output to line level to drive an amp for passive subs. I use this method with my older Hsu subs in my video set up. T... |
