| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Taters....you're right but make sure the Classic platter is spinning. | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Pmotz...the 3D arm has no sound. The difference between the 3D and the 10.5 is very clear. The 10.5 sounds a bit bright, and certainly more hi-fi...not natural. If you value natural, you will value the 3D. Also...I have used Bearpaws and Terraston... | |
| Scratches on acrylic platter Clearaudio Emotion I bet this happens all the time at the factory and they know the best way to deal with them. | |
| Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords Regarding my post above...just remembered I had to sand down a piece of plastic to make it fit..not a big deal...the plastic is soft. | |
| Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords Actually after lots of trials I was able to make my own cables for my 5A's. The trick is to get the plugs to fit into the speaker side...between the fins of the amps. I got a Cardas connector (3455 IEC CONNECTOR). I chose these because it is very ... | |
| The best preamp without a doubt..in my experience ...bet you haven't heard the Ayre pre. | |
| VPI Prime: Casual Review Actually the arm is a significant upgrade...I had a 10.5 and went to a 3D and found that the sound was greatly improved. If your table is place on a very solid support, there is no reason to ever get a "better" turntable". | |
| Anti-skate setting on Graham 2.2 Wrong...that's not the way to set a/s. I use no a/s at all...tried it with and without, and without takes the prize in this house. Listen and make your own decision, but the way you discribe is not a correct test. | |
| Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG Its amazing to me how wire reacts so differently in different systems. Of my favorite cables, the Audioquest MontBlanc/Everest sounded oh so great. When I exchanged these for the William F Lowe Sigs, the sound made a marked decrease in quality. My... | |
| overwhelmed by record rituals You really don't need a record cleaning machine unless you rub your peanut buttered hands all over the discs. Your Audioquest brush takes off the dust...that's all I do. My records are quiet (CD like). If you do get peanut butter on the records, g... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation I have Vandersteen 5A's with Ayre electronics. My favorite cable is Wireworld...I know because I had the Gold in my system and compared them against the top Anti-Cables. In truth, the Wireworld had a wonderful sense of ease that the Anti's couldn'... | |
| Doge 9 listening experience... I can't understand the interest in esoteric entities, when so many proven companies are there for your coins? Service, longevity, Support???? | |
| VPI setup yes, the Counterintuitive makes it much easier to set up (I forgot that yours doesn't have one....I have a 3D which is nearly impossible to set up well without it, which is why its included with the 3D.) | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Actually, if you choose right, the lesser wine can taste better than the high priced juice. | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. The first change you should make is to eliminate the 4 VPI feet in exchange for Bearpaws (Vermontaudio.com) Then consider your other changes after hearing what Bearpaws do. |
