| Tightening Driver Screws Some speakers are glued in but use screws to lock the drivers in position but have no further use when the glue dries. Forcing one of those screws to turn is likely to break the mastic and damage the speaker. Caution for those audiophiles looking ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Gardiner's cycle is poorly recorded....I think they tried to put too much on each disc. | |
| Snap, Crackle, Pop - What is the cause? My setup is remarkably quiet, even though I rarely clean my records. I find that my old records many times sound better than recent purchases. ..just thinking of the new Paul Simon LP, and the new Norah Jones LP...both have good music, but recorde... | |
| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations Dvdgreco....all you need is the Shure scale that VPI supplies with the turntable. Once the vtf is in the general area, use your ears to fine tune the arm for your preference. I set up my VPI arm with the MINT which I thought was a bit better than ... | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection I've tried many power conditioners and have not been successful in finding one that doesn't do harm in some way. Sure they change the sound, but I personally could live without them | |
| Etymotic ER4P Reliability mine too are years old with nothing but dependable, excellent sound | |
| Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast If there is anyone who feels that they aren't paying enough taxes, they can always donate whatever they feel is fair to the government.

| Cary 303t Pro or Ayre c5xemp I have a C5xemp and love it. Works best using balanced connections. Cary is probably warmer if that's your pleasure. | |
| Offset Angle on VPI Classic Tonearm I have a Benz LPS and aligned it with the MINT....it looks absolutely square to me....overhangs the headshell a bit. | |
| AntiCables I'm using the Anti-Cable shotgun cables .....more power, dynamics, and ease. I'm using them bi-wired on my Vandersteen 5A's ...happy. | |
| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations Actually, I've heard Shelters in JMW arms that sound fine...it takes some work...get a weight from VPI for the head and use a bit of damping. | |
| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations Gundam....if you know how to set up a JPW arm, it will bring excellent sound. There is no arm that I know of that has a more accurate VTA setting...you can easily adjust it while playing the record. | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? CT0517.....Marketing | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? Frogman...to MY ears the Classic platter is very much better than the Super Platter. If the op intends to use the rim drive only consider the Classic platter, since Superplatters are rarely round, and if they start out that way, they are not stabl... | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? This is a big/heavy turntable. As good as it is, it is very difficult to ship so that you would get it in excellent shape. Shipper should have original packing for best shipping. |
