| CD player I believe Stereophile reviewed the X Ray many years ago. I would look back over the review. Personally, I wouldn't buy a cd player/transport that is that old as eventually it will stop functioning and there probably won't be any parts available to... | |
| woofer excursion at start of lp Buy a KAB rumble filter for 179.00 and the problems will stop. It is stuffed with all the audiophile approved parts as well. I have used one for years with my VPI Scout and various moving coil cartridges. I changed cartridges, had the turntable pr... | |
| How far from the back wall are your speakers? My speakers (Odyssey Kismet Reference floorstanding speakers) are 21 inches from the back wall, although they were designed to be used in that way. | |
| Very Specific Ground Loop Question. The turntable ground wire can also be connected to the pre-amp chassis. That is how I set up my turntable. | |
| Zu versus Zu? I use the VPI phono cable from my Scout to my preamp. It uses the same wire as whats in the tonearm. | |
| Devore Fidelity Gibbon 88 I had a pair of Gibbon 8 speakers back in 2009. It was the last pair off their assembly line. In my room with my system, the speakers sounded a bit lean on rock recordings, but wonderful on Jazz or Classical.Eventually I sold them on Audiogon and ... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. KEF 205/2 vs. Spendor SP100R2 Are you sure it was the Harbeth that made the sound seem slow? I ask because I have had 3 different Classe model amps and all of them were dark and thick sounding, slow if you will. It could have been the amp/speakers match, not the speakers itself. | |
| overheating Lower the volume a bit. | |
| Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor? ditch the wife and buy your speakers of choice. | |
| Need to hide cables Salamander Synergy audio racks come with a back panel to hide all the wiring. Sanus makes racks with built in cable management. | |
| Redbook & SACD value Look into one of the used Esoteric players here. You can't go wrong with an Esoteric. I think Spearit Sound (no affiliation) has some B stock units at a very attractive price. I bought an 8,500.00 B stock player from them for 3995.00. | |
| Class D and Power Cables Why not try Wyred's own Ultra Power Cable? A 1 meter cord is 119.00 and a 1.5 meter cord is only 139.00. Plus, it's the cord that Wyred recommends for it's products. You really have nothing to lose as you can always sell it here for almost what yo... | |
| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 The Classic 3 is the better table by far. I have had a Scout with the unipivot arm for many years and it is excellent and very reliable. | |
| What's on your turntable this holiday season? Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon. | |
| Shipping from Canada I have bought many items from our friends to the North and have never had any problems other than a package being held up at customs for an extra day or so. No worries and no taxes. |
