| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? I had a super platter on my VPI Superscoutmaster.....the changing to the Classic platter was a significant step upward...you didn't need super-hearing to hear the difference. The soundstage opened up, looking back, highs sounded like they were ... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? You should listen to Vandersteens.... if you are near or can get to New Jersey....Audioconnection is the place....even talk to John on the phone. He's very accessible and anxious to help. | |
| cable and interconnect advice? Very often the next higher level is actually a double run in 1 jacket. | |
| Suggest affordable cable options another vote for Clear Day cables. Nothing I've done to my system was as beneficial. | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? Maestro wall outlets are the least colored. | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? yyman23....Scottsdale.... ....almost in Cave Creek (near The Boulders) If you're in the neighborhood and want to hear some of your silver discs or vinyl on mine, let me know. | |
| Blu-Ray vs. MFSL CD I have an Ayre C5xemp,..... cd or SACD can sound from good to extraordinary...depends on the quality of the disc. Ayre is the better unit, but ..no...it doesn’t do bluray. Playing cd or sacd, the Ayre sounds better...and a properly set up vinyl so... | |
| cable and interconnect advice? tis49 You are mistaken....I wasn't talking of bi-wiring (which I do with MY speakers)...but shotgun is using 2 speaker cables from the the amp (either on 1 or 2 outputs) (the same signal is outputing on both) to a single input of the speakers. | |
| Adding mass to the Zeta counterweight Experiment my sticking blobs of clay on/under/around the arm. | |

| cable and interconnect advice? pmotz.....nope...still like anti-cables....they (just today) came out with an even higher level of interconnect. I compared my balanced to many high level cables...Kimber, Audioquest, Nordost, Wireworld Cardas, etc.....they come very close to Wire... | |
| Seeking to soundproof front door to my apartment Actually, the problem very well might be the windows. Sound travels through glass very easily. You can hear a trailer truck rumble down the street way before it gets to the house. | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? Sure....and also, listen to your system without the power conditioner. You just might like it better. | |
| recabling my Stax sr-009 to pure copper cable zd....wrong....or I should say silver can have a rising brittle high end. If the cable is well designed....no. Copper can also have a rising high end or even a grainy tubby low end. You have to hear a cable in your system to decide the performanc... | |
| cable and interconnect advice? Get in touch with Paul at Clear Day cables. He'll probably send you some cable for audition....you'll quickly ditch the Kimber. |
