VPI SDS
Had the same experence as a VPI dealer; I used some brass cones under mine; rubber feet seem to afffect bass impact more than you would think they would. 
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?
The whole Bose thing was a scam from the word go; their theory is junk as were their speakers. "To know what Bose are about you have to throw away everything you know about high end audio." Also about music; they were about one thing only ; MONEY. 
Anyone ever compare Deluend to Russian KBG
The KGB had Putin; case closed.

Miyabi 47 cartridge: How many hours does it last ?
I have had two cartridges re-tipped by Soundsmith and BOTH were total disasters.Both were Denon 304s. The first I loaned to a surgeon friend and the cantilever broke off in the first week of use. I thought it could have been his fault so I later h... 
Miyabi 47 cartridge: How many hours does it last ?
Given that cartridges like this are more or less hand made and must have a degree of variability in construction and usage and associated gear will vary so much I doubt if just having the approximate usage time would tell you much. I have seldom o... 
Why my left speaker sounds louder then my right
If you reverse the speakers, reverse the amp outputs, reverse all the signal leads and cables and nothing changes it is the room. I once sold a high end system to someone who intended to put it into a room with one speaker next to a glass wall. He... 
Ears. The ultimate handicap.
Maybe a search of antique stored for a pair of ear trumpets is in order. The ears Sam wore were cardboard enlargements which made him look somewhat Vulcan or like a desert fox [ the animal, not Erwin Rommel]. He was actually pictured going to a co... 
Luxman M-4000 and Luxman C1010
I had both but many years ago; hold it I believe the pre was a C1000. A friend still has it and it was working the last time I spoke to him. If you like them now leave them alone would be my advice, they will sound different "restored"; you may or... 
Integrated amp for Focal micro utopia be
I had the Mini Utopias and they worked very well with my MF NuVista M3; probably over powered for yours but smaller ones from MF should work. 
Sansui TU-9500. No sound from output.
Make sure the tape monitor switch is off and you have selected the correct input and have the speaker selector swich in the right place. There are a lot of knobs on this series of Sansui which can be confusing. good sound though. 
Worst CD player
A many way tie between all the ones that do not function. Suggested tie breaker; the one that originally cost the most loses. 
Over 55? - You Gotta See This
I actually had been having more trouble remembering lately. Yesterday I found out a possible cause; I have a 3 cm tumor pressing on my brain from the outside; fortunately it appears to be very amenable to removal. I thereby falsify to contention t... 
any veiws on apogee centaur speakers
I would check the price of replacement ribbons; you would probably have to buy 2 , a good idea anyway. There are several repair stations around the country; Northern Va. for one; I would not want just anyone working on them. It would cost quite a ...
