| Cable design In MY experience, the connectors are the biggest factor in how the cable sounds. Only use shielded cable if you really need the protection against RFI. Shielding actually closes down the sound. Copper and silver (and gold, etc.) sound DIFFERENT...... | |
| VDH the FROG on VPI Scout Lyra Dorian Check with VPI....they will know for sure. | |
| DIY upgrades to VPI platter I've had several of Harry's platters. You should try the current ceramic platter that he uses on his direct drive table....it is open, dynamic, and good looking. | |
| What would cause... Take Liz's advice | |
| Aerial 7T/6 vs Vandersteen Quatro/Treo/2Ce Sig II I have had Vandersteen 5A's driven by Ayre for a number of years....i have heard many systems during that time and none have made me think of changing. (though some have made me laugh) | |

| Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it? Every time I modified my Rega arm, the sound got better....if the cost justifies the move, is up to you | |
| How long does it take you to install a cartridge? Goldeneraguy....I would never trust a "pro" to set up my cartridge. He just isn't going to take the time, energy, and provide the listen (with your own components in your own room) to get the cartridge to sound its best. | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Don...the 10.5 was a cinch compared to the 3D....but wait....There is a new rear counterweight assembly that will make it a breeze to set up VPI arms with great and repeatable precision. Don't even think about it Don...evidently VPI is not your cu... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm I've written on a new post about the sound of this arm....MUCH better than the 10.5, however, do not get it until the new rear counterweight is released to the public....about a month. | |
