| Nordost Blue Heven vs Nordost Red Dawn? Kevin...regarding a significant improvement....no it won't. The color will change a bit, but then any orchestra sounds different in different halls...you'll get used to the new color, but will realize its not an upgrade at all. ...now if you were ... | |
| Rega P3-24 or RB301 anti-skating bias Use no (or as little as your arm will permit) bias adjustment. There is questionable need for such a device. I use none and there are many who feel that is correct. There is no solid agreement either way. | |
| Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge ...just unscrew the cartridge from the arm and yank the wires the hell off. Putting them on is tricky, but not removal. Don't use any lubricant on anything..the boots are simply a color code...don't worry. | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage I agree...John is the best | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable I don't believe its anyones' business but VPI to price their own products. The marketplace will vote with their dollars. The turntable is there for the taking or not...to me, that's the end of the discussion. | |
| Michell Gyro SE-what arm? Mofi....I've seen an installation on that table with a VPI 10.5 (though not a 3D) ...VPI provided a tonearm cable with increased length...the junction box was mounted on the lower base with double stick tape. I think there was a very small up char... | |
| Michell Gyro SE-what arm? I have the new VPI 3D arm and am shocked at its prat and musicality which you place on your list of requirements. I know its expensive, but an easy installation and ultimately satisfying. At least give it a listen. | |
| VTA adjustment for an RB600 The problem is "what is parallel". SME has the perfect answer on the V with a horizontal line silkscreened on the arm itself, however, absent that line with other arms, its all listening and evaluative. Fremer suggests that a microscope and comput... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? ...no Mark....those platter should be melted down and redone correctly, not sold at all. | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Everyone makes mistakes..some take responsibility for them and do their best to make things right...VPI is one of those. I strongly suggest everyone with platters that seem to be made wrong to contact VPI and I am quite sure that a replacement wil... | |
| Interesting analog experience Doug...a snapshot of the past, but not aliatoric... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? Bif.....those cables that have 2 on one end and 4 on the other are not nearly as good as having 4 separate cables. ...sometimes a bit, sometimes more | |
| To adjust ride level of springs on SOTA turntable First, get new springs | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? Elegal....I've heard the system bettered every time...sometimes dramatically, sometimes incrementally. In my experience, if the speakers were designed with bi-wire in mind (separate low and high sections ....2 (or more) input connections on the sp... | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs Oh - I should also add that it was done with a Bach era violin/gut strings |
