| phono cable for VPI SSm I use the VPI cable for my traveler and it is as good as my Harmonic Technologies silver phono cable. | |
| Looking for a good set of speakers cables. Maple shade and you can try them for cost of return ship. | |
| CD player with digital input Question? | |
| tube distortion and amp matching In my experience to #1, the complement of tubes do matter greatly, as do quality of the power supplies and especially, the quality of the output transformers.With regard to #2, no one NOS manufacturer had a corner across the models or build config... | |
| Lyra Delos I use a Delos with a VPI Traveler and all other components are the same as yours for the electronics and the result is very satisfying with much detail,depth and warmth. | |
| VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III? "VPI tables not known for PRAT," you gotta be kidding me (or smoking something you shouldn't)! I have both a Traveler and an Aries 2 and they ROCK!!! If they have no PRAT why is it audio friends are toe tappin' & dancing?And, as if some brands... | |

| ???Phono Preamp for Rega RP3 W/Elys2 ???? Both Jolida (owned this one) and Cambridge phono pres are good choices, as is the Musical Fidelity V LPS (home auditioned). | |
| Reason for selling is... I must be missing something in the audio listening experience because I don't have reference or "absolute sound" of what those excretory items actually sound like. Where can I hear a demo for future reference? | |
| Shout out to Syntax - re: Delos Having owned purchased new Benz Glider, Koetsu Urushi and Sheler 501 mkll, Lyra Helikon and Argo i cartridges, the Delos I am now using (one each for VPI Traveler and Aries 2 tables) are the finest and most natural sounding of them all. Do not tel... |
