| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp In the old days, I bought into the Audio Research legend with an early transistor amp (D-100 maybe?) but it was lousy sounding and had to go back to the factory a few times for repairs until I finally sold it. The sound is probably as the post I ... | |

| New Technics SL 1200 GAE I'm always entertained how everyone thinks what they own is the very best..... | |

| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). SJ - I have Vandersteens and think they sound like music. Call John Rutan at AudioConnection in New Jersey.... He is very knowledgeable, sells everything and is always anxious to share info. | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question ..and to add .....I found that separate cables for lows, and highs are even better..... I've seen jacket cables with +,- on one end to attach to the amp, which separates to the 4 cables on the other side to attach to the speaker.....not as good o... | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic jjss49 - I already have the dual pivot, however, you must make sure the azimuth (actually every parameter) is as close as you can possibly get it. By the way - the dual pivot is a very audible improvement. | |
| Headphone setup - dual setup w/ speakers I have the 650’s but with upgraded Cardas connecting wire, powered by a dedicated headphone amp fed from the tape monitor loop of the preamp. Wonderful sound. You cannot take advantage of your headphones being driver from the poor excuse of a hea... |
