| iPad "Remote" App for iTunes I can't answer your first question as I never tried it and don't have any music stored on my iPhone or iPad. As a remote, the interface is wonderful, many options and I can pull up all the artwork, etc. | |
| Audible Illusions M3B or L3 In my system, the volume control is usually around 11 o'clock which gives me levels in the 85-88db range. To really get it loud, I can go up to a little past 2 o'clock on the volume controls. On the 3B, they seem to have more of the in-between ste... | |
| iPad "Remote" App for iTunes I use J Remote on my iPad and iPhone to control J Rivers Media Center. Best investment I have made in a long time. | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? I replaced my speaker spikes with Adona extra long speaker cones with adjustable tips. I also bought the cups to put the cone tips in and put a slab of 1 1/2 inch thick black granite under each speaker. It got rid of all traces of boominess and re... | |
| Audible Illusions M3B or L3 I have a Modulus 3A with Gold phono board. The gold phono board is all fet designed by John Curl and is very similar to the sound of the Vendetta phono preamp. The Gold phono board adds about 20db of gain to the signal, then it passes through the ... | |
| Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88? I gave away all the tapes when I sold the Teac deck. If I remember, the guy was going to use a bulk eraser and record over them. I had a Sony DAT recorder in the early 90's and made maybe 20 tapes with it. I didn't use it for over 15 years, and wh... | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Exocet954How do you like your 3B preamp? I have had the original Modulus3, a 3A which is in my secondary system and the new 3B in my reference system. I think there is a big difference for the better with the 3B. I really makes my system shine. | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? I was looking for the same as you; I wanted a good player that would be the last I had to buy and just enjoy the music. I ended up buying a new Esoteric player that was used as a static display at a few audio shows. I got it for less than half pri... | |
| I don't like the sound of my system. Help please. I'll chime in here. I had almost the exact same problem that you describe using the Vandersteen speakers and a solid state amp and tube preamp. I changed all my source components, speaker wires, audio cables, power conditioners and the sound was s... | |
| Upgrading cartridge used or new? I bought a used Dynavector 20 cartridge a few years ago off the Gon. The seller claimed it had very low use. When I installed the cartridge, I found that the suspension was completely collapsed and as a result, the bottom of the cartridge would sc... | |
| Anyone know of a good, quiet, small fan? Not sure how quiet they are, but Salamander makes fans for their Audio racks. | |
| Carts on JMW 9 Signature I had great luck with the Dynavector DV20XL cartridge. I also used a Shure V15 cartridge and a Grado Gold. All were very compatible. If you are looking for the perfect match, try the Soundsmith that is made specifically for the VPI turntable. | |

| Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88? Back then I was working in a stereo store and I bought a top of the line Sony portable cassette recorder with Dolby B noise reduction. It had a built in stereo mike. I remember taking it to many Jethro Tull concerts, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Em... | |
