| Speakers for Sugden A21 se I remember Paradigm Reference series sounding good with this amp back about ten years ago when it came out. I'm sure the Focal/Proacs would also work well. You also might consider Vandersteen 1c. | |
| looking at 2 phono pre amps Bellari 130 | |
| phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue The Bellari 130 is a nice tubed phono stage. I have one for an Ortofon Black and enjoy the sound. | |
| What cartridge do I get now? Ditto on the Ortofon Black. I have been an MC fan for years, with the Lyra Delos my current MC, but recently I added a MM rig and chose the Black becuase it sounds so much like an MC with that incredibly good tracking shibata stylus. The Ortofon B... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Krell KPE reference -> Ear 834P -> Aesthetix Rhea -> Manlely Chinook -> Manley Steelhead, where I think I'll "stop and smell the roses" for awhile.Along the way I also have Liberty B2B (which is a fantastic solid state phono stage!) an... | |
| I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl I would suspect a damaged stylus first, from experience this was the cause of such sibilance in my cartridge many years ago. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm I have forwarded to Audiogon for formal banning of this member, enough is enough, now the name calling begins.judyazbluesSeptember 22, 2013 3:39pmWhoa funny guy. I don't find you interesting at all. But most assholes aren't. On Monday, September 9... | |
| What is your cartridge and tracking force used Lyra Delos at 1.75 gOrtofon 2M black at 1.60 g | |
| Stylus Rake Angle The whole point of this exercise is moot simply because no two pressings are going to be exactly the same thickness. Way too much attention is paid to this VTA/Rake issue IMO.The answer is to set it by ear (as you have done?) to a ~180 gram pressi... | |
| Jcoehler what do you have the delos loaded at on t same here 100 Ohm | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Judy: I am so very impressed! The insight, the depth of understanding! Novels could be written around your prescience. You should work for the NSA. | |
| Cartridge rec.'s for Denon DP-60l You need an MM, MI or a HOMC cartridge with the VP130 as it only has about 30 dB of gain. I highly recommend any in the 2M series by Ortofon as I have a Bellari VP130 too and use both a 2M Red and a 2M black in a Technics SL 1200 MKII with it. I h... | |
| Another phono cartridge question I should have mentioned there is also the venerable Shure M97xe, which is very forgiving to the ear, but for the money I liked the Ortofon Red more.Also, as suggested above, Audio Technica makes nice catridges with removable styli. Let us know wha... | |
| Vacuuming every time? LAST revisited? No need to clean everytime. One goo d cleaning and then storage in good MoFi inner liners is all that's needed. Then a carbon brusing to remove surface dust before playing. The thing you don't want to do is buld up any residue, and I decided that ... | |
| VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec? Jawks: I wrote a review of Peter's phono stage on Audiogon (and I own one for a solid state system). |
