| Which amp is good for Spendor SP-1 I was a dealer for them, have used them since 1970 (BC-1) and have used more amps on them than I can remember. What I am using now are a Musical Fidelity M3, and Meridian 605s, both discontinued. I have not heard the Exposure 2010 myself but it ha... | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV I used my IV on both an old TNT and a Basis Ovation, worked well on both. I sold both when I resumed a VPI dealership. Currently awaiting an Aries Extended with 12.7 arm and Super Platter. From listening to the Scout and Scoutmaster I would say th... | |
| Positioning of component racks It is all compromise. Theoretically, you should have nothing between the speakers; but if you put them on side wall you will have to have longer cables, which you should also avoid. If you have mono amps putting them behind the speakers and using ... | |
| Best cable s for bottom end of a bi-amped system? I have found that the most critical thing for bass cables is that they are able to transfer a lot of current to the bass driver, physically larger cables have an advantage here. | |
| Speaker cable for my Revel F 30 & MF Nu-Vista M3? I have the M3 but use different speakers, mainly Spendor. I use Cardas Golden Reference also used it with other amps and preamps and worked well with all. | |
| What racks/amp stands do you own or have owned? Star Sound. Made to transfer vibration out of the system quickly. Works just as described. | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord I don't think anyone will be able to answer the question for you because the sound will be a product of the interaction of the cord and your components. I think that cords do matter but I am not sure that their sound will be the same with differen... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster with Super Platter According to reviews I have read it makes a considerable difference. I am a small VPI dealer, currently carrying the Scout and Scoutmaster. I just ordered an Aries to demo the 12.7 arm [as well as to listen to myself] and I got the super platter a... | |
| This may be a silly question but... Some even cheaper wire which appears very similar is Magnet wire. Surplus Sales of Nebraska has it for about 60 cents a foot. | |
| Lustre GST-801 as 2nd Arm for Raven One? Still a very good arm. | |
| Cleaning a old tonearm I always used Q tips and alcohol but I'll try the pledge, it sounds good. | |
| Cartridge / arm combination.How do you know? Mistracking springs to mind. But to say that it incorrect has to be divided into two questions. The first being : is the arm and cartridge physically suited for each other. This involves matching the compliance of the cartridge to the mass of the ... | |
| LP-12 with Hadcock tonearm I would think it would be, have a Grace 707 on my Linn and it appears to be similar in weight and mass but haven't used it myself. | |
| Should I be worried if buying a 5-6 year old CDP? New technology is not necessarily better in CD reproduction. There is a school of thought which believes that sound quality has been compromised by a switch to better measuring but worse sounding electrical components. My own transports and player... | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS Sogood, it is strange to see me called a snob because I pointed out that not all subs that used small drivers were cheap. The idea that marketing was behind sub design implicitly assumes that it is money that drives the market. I will point out to... |
