Jeff Rowland to what?
just reading all these posts....the bottom line is that You have to be satisfied. All components have their own special flavors. ...and too how these boxes integrate with each other. I’m a pro violinist, and am astounded how different my violin so... 
VPI Analogue Drive System
can anyone hear a difference between the SDS, and the ADS??  Just wondering..... 
Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?
You can get state of the art sound by getting a top flight headphone and dedicated amp to drive them...even upgraded cable from one to the other for 1/2 the price.....and you'll have jawdropping audio with no complaints from the neighbors no matte... 
Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart
Once I heard the difference that no a/s offered it clearly meant me taking off the a/s gizmo from my 3D arm.   What I hear is center soloists are much more clearly delineated....  no bleed left or right...the soloist is clearly right there.  Once ... 
Jeff Rowland to what?
I have always have had success with the amp and preamp from the same designer/manufacturer.   I went from the Rowland to Ayre. 
Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart
it is nearly impossible to set azimuth by eyeballing the horizontal rod...buy or borrow the Fozgometer and its accompanying test disc. Use Soundmith’s recommendation for vtf...don’t be concerned with snti-skate. I don’t use it at all...there are m...

2nd pivot for VPI 3D
Thanks Bill....I'll give it a try. 
2nd pivot for VPI 3D
Thanks Bill.....an important adjustment on the 3D (really any arm) is the azimuth adjustment.  If more pressure is provided with that second pivot, am I wrong in suspecting that the azimuth would be disturbed?.  When I use my Foz in the setting up... 
2nd pivot for VPI 3D

I own the Ayre C5......no need for anything else.  Great 
Vandersteen help needed
I don't know your model speaker, but am using Vandersteen 5A's and believe that your description might come from an imbalance due to uneven floors.....that the arrival time of the 2 speakers to your years are different.  Here's how to get it right... 
Break In Experiences with Anti-Cables level 2.1 speaker cables?
I was using top of the line (don't remember the number) silver anti's  I thought they were ok until I installed Clear Cables.....C/C is better by far in my system.....the same basic sonic presentation as top of the line Wireworld.  
FM alive and well here...curious question
