| Cryoset online store - what happened? @jkuc ........"Upscale Audio sells cryogenic tubes. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! While I am sure it sounds amazing, I don’t see 100-120k worth of sound. I have owned 3 different VPI tables over the years and they always seem to be bigger in size than most others. Looks like they borrowed the look from ClearAudio. I’ll pass. | |
| Can McIntosh C2500 be converted to 240VAC Operation? Call either Audio Classics or McIntosh factory, both a 10 minute drive from one another. I own a C2500 and from what I know, the power transformer needs to be replaced with a 220 volt one. However, I have been known to be wrong many times. | |
| NYC audio dealers Most of the high end stores in NYC aren’t that hospitable to tire kickers. I second Audio Connection in Verona NJ and also the Audio Doctor in NJ. Yes, the pizza shop down the street from Audio Connections is excellent. | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? I rationalize my upgrades with the saying, "live is too short". At 66 years old, it couldn't be more true. | |
| REVIEW: Pearl Jam, Live At Easy Street I can’t. MD will not take Something I already opened and played just because I do not like it. | |
| Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b @don_c55 ................I too hate the 3D arm. It feels quite cheesy and does not inspire confidence to the user. | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members All this does not mean there was a scam. When I started out here, I didn’t open an account until I saw something I wanted. Perhaps the person recognized your user name on Audio Mart from lurking here and decided to make an account so he could ma... | |
| Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b @tooblue ..................it was both of us. My wife was intimidated by the turntable and wouldn’t use it at all, and I had to constantly play with the arm. I bought the Scout used and I didn’t have as much of an adjustability problem with the ... | |
| Technics SL -1200G vs Transrotor ZET 1 I own the SL1200G and LOVE it. I have no experience with Trans Rotor but they look like very well made and executed turntable. | |
| Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b I had a VPI Prime and could not stand the unipivot arm. Every time I wanted to play a record, I had to constantly fiddle with the arm. The problem was it was always tilting to one side or the other no matter how many times I adjusted it. I had t... | |
| Need help with a forced downgrade Get the Pioneer direct drive for around the price mentioned. | |
| Audible Illusions M3 Check to see if the mono switch is pushed in. What you describe is when the preamp is running in mono. | |
| Esoteric K-03 / K-01 Leave Power On ? I have an Esoteric UX-3 and I turn it on a half hour before I listen. No need to leave it on all the time. | |
| Bryston or Aragon When I was auditioning amps many, many years ago, I borrowed 2 Aragon amps. A 4004 and 8008. Both sounded great and what bass! I love the sound of the Bryston cubed series, but the much older Bryston were known to be bright and wasn't for me.\ |
