| Diving into balanced I have a totally differentially balanced system from phono cartridge through amp. It is quiet even with volume turned high. | |
| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? I have a whole house conditioner in the breaker box because a lightening strike took out a Vandersteen power module that has been repaired...., my whole system is differentially balanced and the results are excellent | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? don't put the spikes and protectors in place until you have your speakers in place.....then tilt the speakers for inserting the spikes | |
| Amp showing its age? my 20 year amp went out about a year ago.....sent it back to Ayre for a look-see with request to make it as perfect as you can. They replaced a fuse and sent it back. | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge My Ortofon Winfield needed attention so I sent it to Peter @ Soundsmith. He repaired it with a new stylus ....and I must say it sounds great. | |
| VPI to What for those that disparage the unipivot.......there is an inexpensive item called the 2nd pivot which stablizes the arm better.....the sound is still great. | |

| Solid State Power Amps you should audition an Ayre product.......very neutral and high end gear | |

| VPI to What I have a fully tricked out Superscoutmaster/rim drive/upgraded platter/arm, etc., etc. It is a truly wonderful table...only once was it loosing speed....I sent the SDS for a checkup and it was perfect....I cleaned the bearing with Hoppes gun clea... | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? Cables for your/anyone's system is a crapshoot.....you really have to listen to them. I suggest Mogami,......the most expensive cables are an interesting comparison | |
