| Newbee help- Volume low even at full preamp volume-??? Your preamp looks like its just a line stage. If you have a m/c cartridge you need additional gain from a pre-preamp. Loading that you mentioned is different...You can get a moving magnet cartridge or the pre/pre (Wyetech I saw makes one). | |
| Upgrading power cables The power cord is the most important cord in your whole system. Change all of them. Its easy to make your own.....use top grade components. (oops...I found no difference in the power cord to my turntable...but other than that one....) | |
| What cartridge on your VPI prime? Owners of the 3D arm should note that the arm is so good that although Denon, Audiotechnica, etc cartridges that perform in the top of their class, a really good cartridge will give that extra pleasure for years. Top Lyras, Benz, Ortofon cartridg... | |
| A hated question - Purist 20th Anniversay and the Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnects Garebear....all can tell you is how I hear Cardas cables in MY system. The Cable Co. sent me a number of Cadas cables...and with the Ayre/Cardas I ownded, I could audition all permutations of Cardas. They ALL had a Cardas sound....most of them ... | |
| A hated question - Purist 20th Anniversay and the Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnects Garebear...your ps is there to impress, but doesn’t impress me. If you actually do the recording, or sweep the floors in the studio, we might have met when recording my performances. | |
| solid state gear- leave on? My electronics have an on/off switch, however when off, there still is current going through the component to keep it warm, although at lower power. It is ready to perform on turn on. (Ayre) | |

| A hated question - Purist 20th Anniversay and the Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnects Garebear....why would you seek my opinion?? Get the cables and listen for yourself. I find that all cables sound different in different systems. I imagine that you don't have the components (or ears) that I have. | |
| Can I hook up a headphone amp to my integrated? Getting a good headphone amp is a very good idea. If you have a tape out connect that to the headphone amp. That's exactly as I have done with my system. | |
| Ortofon 2M Black? There are better ...from Ortofon as well, but within the price range, there are not many better than the Black | |
| A hated question - Purist 20th Anniversay and the Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnects Garebear...I had every Cardas cable in my system...also had 2 or 3 top Purist models (don't remember).....anyway, I feel that these posted questions are posted for opinion as to my experiences. I gave mine. If there is anyone that doesn't feel t... | |
| A hated question - Purist 20th Anniversay and the Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnects Cardas was the kiss of death in my system....tried many of their offerings because they were recommended by my electronics (Ayre)...never worked well. | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Just enjoy your new gizmo.....no concerns about anything but the music | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table If you decide to keep the Linn, make sure you have someone who knows what he/she is doing to set it up. They can sound good or not depending on the setup. Be VERY careful driving it back home...it can go out of adjustment in the move. | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm My 3D arm is functioning perfectly. Everyone...even VPI is awarded a screw up from time to time... This however, could have been done from shipping....VPI will support you. |
