| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue POST SCRIPT:So here it is almost six years later and the same thing happens, i.e., power outage and I neglect to remove the AC cord from the power supply. I knew I had had this issue before, so I researched the JRDG website. The manual seems to su... | |
| Time to blast off from Rhea The Rhea is noisy. No doubt about it. However, in my opinion, you can quiet it down substantially with the right tube complement and as reward, you get a unit that punches way above its price class in musical expressiveness, tone density, instrume... | |
| Label protector for steam cleaning on VPI 16.5? Actually that won't work. It is 3.45" in diameter so as not to interfere with the wand of the 16.5. A record label is 4" min diameter. It would not cover the label completely. Basically, what TT sells is a high-end clamp to replace the cheap plast... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w I have a Temper W I use with a VPI Aries II and Aesthetix Rhea. I absolutely LOVE this combo. In fact, I have given thought to buying a second Temper W just to have as a back-up when and if this present one should go on me. The Temper W is very se... | |
| Bi-amping LF with high-powered pro amplifiers I bi-amp the low frequencies with a pair of Rowland 201s and a Model 10 on top. I use a Rane equalizer as an external cross-over to shape the sound to the room. The bass is rich and deep and does not suffer from any of the anomolies of digital amp... | |
| Transport signal thru mult cables simultaneously? Al:Thanks for the thoughtful response. Much appreciated. | |
| At What Point is the Needle Damaging Records? Have you examined the stylus with a loop or magnifying glass. Perhaps you simply need to adjust VTF/VTA. I have my catridge (Transfiguration Temper W) more than 5 years and listen nearly as often as you do and highs are as sparkling as when I firs... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue I also wanted to add for the benefit of other Coherence II owners that the sound is indeed improved with fresh batteries. I don't know if there is a scientific explanation or if it is even counter-intuitive, but I know what I am hearing. Bass is m... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Replacement of the batteries has solved the problem. Battery charge now reads FULL. I guess the lesson is that when the battery no longer reads FULL, it is time to replace. Perhaps I will try to listen strictly off the battery, but previous experi... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Looks like battery is shot. I switched mode over to battery and it autromatically cycled back inside of 2 hours. As much as I dread it, I will have to bite the bullet and swap out the batteries for new ones. I was told to remove the unit completel... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Phil:Would you happen to know if it is ever normal for both FULL and LOW lamps to be dark? Is the performance of the unit compromised in this state? How would one normally determine when it is time to replace the battery? What did you notice?Thank... | |

| Pop heard when stylus dropped into lead-in groove I discovered the culprit. I had the gain set on my phono stage (Aesthetix Rhea) to the highest setting (75). I don't remember going there, but perhaps I was experimenting and forgot to return it to where I normally have it set (62). I also had my ... | |
| Help Selecting a Good Tube Phono Stage? "Economical"is a relative term. You might want to suggest a budget. | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Buy two more belts. One from the motor to the flywheel and one from the flywheel to the platter. |
