| VPI HW 16,5 vs. Okki Nokki Personally, I'm a Nitty-Gritty guy...real dirty records with smatterings of peanut butter and jelly, I steam clean | |
| Vandy 2W w/o crossover ...just call Richard Vandersteen, and he'll give you the info you need. He's very approachable | |
| Sibilance from Van den Hul Colibri If you sure you set it up correctly, I would complain to VDH....I've seen them come from the factory defective | |
| French Speakers? I've only heard the Triangle top of the line....very tall, narrow speaker. I couldn't live with them for 2 minutes. | |
| The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge Mosin...I will not be a test bed for a garage activity. Innovative buyers of this stuff are often stuck. There are wonderful products made by strong companies...I don't need to put my money into their hobby. There are a lot of cartridge manufactur... | |
| The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge To me, manufacturer support of a product is as important as its performance. I would only get involved with companies that are finacially strong and willing to back their product. I have been burned by esoteric brands that cease to exist leaving m... | |
| Setting Azimuth Actusreus.. I'm not against it, I just think its not necessary....like a belt and suspenders. It takes a few minutes to dial in the VPI arm...probably the same time it takes to install the Counterintuitive. If you change cartridges the device has ... | |
| Forced to Downsize You can get state of the art sound by buying a great pair of earphones and an earphone amp...You'll be amazed at how good they sound | |
| Morrow audio MA5 IC is it that good? You have to listen to other cables in YOUR system to ascertain the value of any cable...they all sound different in different systems and bring different things to the party. | |
| What to upgrade first I would go to as many stereo stores as I could and listen to speakers. When you get a pair that you like, then its easier to find the other stuff to befriend your new speakers. | |
| Vote for best speaker value under 5K$ If I were you, I'd look for Maggies providing you have the electronics to do them justice, or Vandersteens. I would not ever go to anything esoteric... | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? Dover....NO colorations is the real answer. One can search a lifetime for products that have complimentary colorations. Regarding the Classic platter mat....I thought that paper one was just there to protect the thin rubber one in transit.....I to... | |
| Speakers and air-conditioning I found central a/c fine, but window units are too noisy...attic fans can completely undermine the sound, and ceiling fans create a "Leslie" effect. | |
| WHEN DID DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY BEGIN? I remember a digital preamp made (I think) by Infinity...the 80's? | |
| Setting Azimuth Actusreus....nope...making those arm adjustments are not that difficult at all. There is a weight IN the rear of the arm adjustable with a large Allen wrench to make the arm lighter unscrew the weight a bit..to make it heavier, screw the weight in... |
