| The most transparent speaker cable ...just a no money suggestion.....get in touch with Paul at ClearDay cables. He'll send you speaker cables for audition. You don't like them..send them back, but as for me, I absolutely think the double shotguns are stupendous. | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences Nandric....I always set my vtf to the manufacuter's recommendation. They designed the cartridge and know what is best for it. I don't care at all how the cartridge does with test records...only how it sounds with my records. In my experiences te... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Vandersteen is a good choice....I'd be more open to solid state of I were you. If you can find used Ayre, you'd make a find. Be careful about getting hooked into the upgrade sickness. Buy from companies that are solid...with great customer suppo... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences 0_holter....If your Atlas is distorting on one side or another, something is wrong with your setup. I am using an Ortofon which sails through anything ..no sibilants, no distortion, etc....no a/s. | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences 0_holter....when azimuth is properly set there is great depth ...instrunents are in front of and behind others, the soundstage is very wide...sometimes beyond the side walls, images are sculpted in space with (almost) a black line around them...no... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences I don't dispute what anyone on these posts says...everyone hears differently and everyone has different components. I can only tell you what I hear. To these ears, there is no better cartridge that I have experience with, than the Atlas. I have... | |
| On Rel subs: Which are most musical? I don't think of subs a musical at all....I use them to correct room resonances, and make mids and highs cleaner/clearer. | |
| Single ended vs xlr balanced ..lots of people say lots of things on these pages, but not much truth/knowledge is displayed. Balanced circuits are always better if and only if the components are differentially balanced themselves. What that means is that the component has tw... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI raymonda....no it wouldn't. The numbers would be better, but you couldn't pick out the controlled system in an A, B comparison. | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? I bought, I connected, I conquered.....all Ayre | |
| Where do you go to from Nottingham Analogue ? Inna....I suspect that if VPI has no musicality for you, there is something wrong with your setup...arm, cart, etc. I'm not knocking Nott... their higher priced tables are good. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Ray et al.... What I’m saying is that sure...a better turntable, better plinth, better this, that, its all better....but I predict, that putting the very best turntable in the system with these components would not be heard. The Thorens is a very ... | |
| Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long I go to any supermarket or auto parts store and get distilled water...I also use it in my cigar humidor. | |
| Settings on phono stage Hum is not coming from the dip switches....sounds like a ground issue, or too you may need shielded cable if you aren't using it now. Although shielded cable closes in the sound, it may be your answer for the hum. | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Harry's son is in charge of VPI.....his name is Matt, and seems to built from the same material as Harry....nice guy. |
