| B&W 801 vs 803s But beware, some of the more "accurate" and "revealing" speakers can be very tiring in long listening sessions. I liked high power SS on B&W. Bryston, GamuT, or Musical Fidelity come to mind. The main question is, do you like the 803s? The oth... | |
| headphone amp Creek makes good SS ones. I use one of their SE ones with my 600s. | |
| VPI Classic---Denon 103 won't fit on arm?? It works well for me, the compliance of the 103 is not that low. The tests of it in the 70s and 80s recommended a 6-16 gram mass arm. I have seen the classic Japanese detachable head shell arms of 20 grams + recommended on the grounds that the arm... | |

| Amp to match Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD pl Why not a matching 3.2 amp from MF? Would work with a wide variety of speakers. | |
| Subs for I would use a REL or similar and cross them as low as possible. A friend of mine is trying out one I bought recently with Quad 57s. He has gradually lowered the crossover point to 25Hz, which is the point I use with my two RELs with Spendor SP1s. ... | |
| Whirring sound in Scoutmaster motor normal? I haven't heard either of these, try the above and if that doesn't work call VPI. | |
| What VPI junction box do I have? I use the Van den Hul The First Ultimate Screened on mine, works very well. | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? I am using Micro Bearings from Star Sound , which is like steel sand, VERY heavy and Attabits (sp?), small steel shot which is imported by May Audio.
