| Turntable for life I have a VPI and have been using it for about 12 years or so. It is extremely modular, so I can bring it to current performance standards easily with this or that upgrade which VPI offers. | |
| Transfiguration Phoenix vs Ortofon Cadenza The 3D is a wonderful arm and would benefit from the best cartridge you can install. I like the Black, but the Winfield is really much better. If you shop carefully, you can get a great deal on a Winfield because its not a brand new design. It... | |
| Great amp, crashed and burned after 30 hours... Buyer protection? ..for me, it would all depend on how much money is involved and the amount of grief and time it would take to travel down any legal road. If it were for a couple of hundred dollars, and after a brief try at making it right, I wouldn’t ruin my day... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm To ME....a little off means the cartridge goes back to the manufacturer. I can not condone the lightening of the wallet to the tune of thousands (or even hundreds) of dollars. I can not accept sloppy manufacturing. A little off means I cannot t... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm I hate to get into this dispute....but shouldn't the offset angle of the arm be specific to accommodate proper setup?? ..or can one twist the cartridge to accommodate the numbers?? | |
| Headphone Amp Question Scott... I don't know your headphones, but can tell you that they could sound much better with its own dedicated headphone amp. I believe the Oppo has their headphone jack installed as an afterthought run by a cheap op amp. | |
| Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector? Although shielded cables can eliminate hum/noise, not all turntables need shielded. In My experience, shielded cable always sounds more "closed in" than does non shileded. | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? I'm quite surprised no one mentioned Ayre preamps. | |
| Swiss amps. Worth the price? ..I would be concerned about customer support. Does one ship it back to the manufacturer? How accessible is it. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Why not take the old one to a sheet metal worker, and have him/her make you one of sheet aluminum | |
| What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge The reason I suggested the Winfield because it can be had for much less than asking price, and the performance is much more than asking price. Its really a steal. | |
| What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge VPI Prime/Ortofon Winfield ...hardly get much better without piles of more money. | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm If you mount the arm the 4mm closer I would suppose that it would be fine...(Harry said he or anyone else can not detect a bit off)...however, as for ME....I would want it absolutely correct. ....just a question....why would you want to exchange a... | |
| Tonearm ringing excited during playback Bif...could be a defective cartridge, but I would try the damping first. I had a Benz that tracked beautifully in the VPI metal arm. | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature TableJock...one can see the accuracy of any turntable by downloading an app called PlatterSpeed. It was invented by Dr. Feickert which is a recognized high power name in audio. You download the app from the app store which is free, play a 3150 hz ... |
