| Grado Sonata1 Ref Vs. Audio Technica AT33EV Jwglista....I upgraded to a Benz LP...now I'm using an LPS. | |
| Grado Sonata1 Ref Vs. Audio Technica AT33EV When I was using my Sonata, I thought it was very musical (joe Grado sang at the Met...knew the sound of music). When I upgraded, I realized that the Sonata was grainy, kind of "brown" in character and not very delicate. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS feet fit VPI Classic 3? To make it even more difficult, I have Bearpaws under my VPI and love them...they are very large and heavy brass cones. A major improvement | |
| Benz Ebony TR or Lyra Kleos SL? I understand Cvarivey's point very well. The TR is extremely low output and is an extraordinary cartridge, but all the benefits may very well be lost unless you have a superlative phono preamp. If you are willing to get a great pre, you will love ... | |
| Best tonearm for London Reference Cartridge I haven't heard the Decca in years, ...thought the sound extraordinary (don't remember the arm, but was with Audio Research electronics and Infinity IRS speakers) but greatly affected by setup. The cartridge puts lots of energy into the arm. I wou... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm ..Just to pass the time with my 3D arm, not wanting to mount the cartridge, since it is residing very safely in its wooden presentation box, I applied various tuning forks to the arm to try to excite any resonances that might be there....just coul... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Peterayer....The bottom line is money. SME has a rear counterweight that actually does just what you say. You add or remove supplied lead (i think) shims to ad or remove the weight to provide the perfect rear counterweight to be as close as possib... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak What works in one system may very well not work in another. Stereo systems benefit from tweeking to eliminate resonances, and correct faults. That's what the joy of this hobby is....enjoy. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm ..just got the 3D arm....they sent me the wrong counterweight.... I have to wait for another week or so... yuk | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Harry told me my 3D was shipped to me about 4 days ago......I suspect tomorrow is the big day. I'll post when I get it. | |
| Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade ..have at it.... I was thinking of the Ayre Dac. Have you compared that one to the wfs? | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Lewn....When the counterweight is away from the pivot, and the arm/cartridge is negotiating a warp, the counterweight "wants to" continue in the direction it was thrown, thereby disturbing the tracking of the cartridge. When the counterweight is n... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Hi Frogman.....Thanks for your evaluation of the 3D arm. I still have not received mine (4 weeks since I placed the order) . I am also perplexed why the same quality of sound should appear in all your recordings. It would seem that the arm, or som... | |
| vpi JMW arm lengths Not worth doing. I went from a 9 sig to 10,5i....if there was a difference, I really couldn't tell. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm I run to the door every day, only to find jewelry, shoes, shirts, books, etc., that my wife bought. The arm is due any minute......... |
