| VPI Avenger Reference + Stillpoint Ultra V's In my experience, there is nothing worse for my VPI than the Gingko platform. It really muddied up the sonic picture. I did have great success with something called Bearpaws. These are very large/heavy cones - solid brass (I think brass). Thes... | |
| Speakers for Devialet agree with A KG...... while cables are important, they are the seasoning for a quality prepared dish. Fix the system first.Re: Spotify, Pandora, etc... great for background music, but not for serious listening. | |
| XLR interconnects on another point.....I noticed that the sound of dif. bal. interconnections have far less sound differences in the many brands that are offered... | |
| Should high-end shops be "OBLIGATED" to advise about component matching for best sound? The world is changing....brick and mortar is old school. Sears is gone, Nordstrums, and Neimann is hanging on by their fingernails...giant malls are scratching to fill the empty spaces. | |

| Wrapping my head around MC carts. HELP!!! my advice is to forget those silly specs.....they don't matter at all. If your cartridge was professionally installed just listen to some music and enjoy. If you installed the cart yourself, double check the alignment, put on some music and enjoy. | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio I wish you only the best....when I lost my wife, it seemed that was the end for me as well..... very gradually the sting lessens....the sadness will always be there, but those wonderful remembrances with her will take precedence. Good luck | |
| XLR/RCA dilemma Sfall - is completely correct. I’m using Vandersteen 5A’s with Ayre, and the 5A’s have amplified subs built in. Ayre can install any needed circuitry in your Ayre if desired. | |
| 2nd pivot for VPI 3D jjss49....scan(m?) /improvement.....you should choose your words more carefully - (and check your spelling). I have spoken to reviewers who say the 2nd pivot is a great improvement on a product already tops in it abilities. I also heard from so... | |
| 2nd pivot for VPI 3D kindly post your findings gshepard.....thanks | |
| RCA interconnects, can I expect 3.5 meter to offer good performance? I'm using 3.5 meter interconnect from preamp to amp sitting between the 2 speakers, but they're balanced. To get a professional opinion call the guy at ClearDay cables...he knows lots about this stuff and is very honest. | |
| Advice using electrostats with tube amp. I wouldn't go with the Cary if I were you. |
