| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a I have an all Ayre system with 5A's. Very happy. | |
| VPI 3-D tonearm Harry has said that he's installed almost every cartridge into the 3D with success. If it were I, I would call VPI with your question, but having many arms, none is as much as a "no arm" than is the 3D | |

| Speakers or Amplifier I like all your stuff....what is it that you don't like? | |
| Ayre phono settings question I just spoke to Mike at Ayre the other day. He urged me to try 47K for any cartridge....He said every cartridge he's tried is better at 47k, but surely you have to hear it. | |

| Ring Clamps. What do you think? The point you're missing is that a record SHOULDN"T breathe at all. It is not a musical instrument. It wiggles the stylus which make electric signals that are amplified, and brought to your room via the speakers. The stylus should only react to th... | |
| BI WIRE EXPERIENCE DARK SIDE I agree...only bi-wire with the same wire. | |
| High End cartridges and the built quality I had to exchange an Ortofon Windfield because the cartridge was wired wrong internally (left to right, v/v) and if that was the case, what else could I expect. Back it went and am now happy with my new one. | |
