| VTA and HTA overhang I view perfect alignment if the stylus touches the inscribed arc at any point on the Mint protractor | |
| Acceptable level of hum at max volume? It shouldn't hum at all....you may hear a hissssss with full gain, but not a hum | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Reading these posts made me break out my MINT protractor and check the alignment again....its still perfect. I adjusted the arm so that it is absolutely level and I leave it that way, no matter the thickness of the record that I play. I know that ... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? My word!! That's why we have to take into account the stregnth and reputation of those components on which we spend our hard earned money. There are quite a few manufacturers that make excellent sounding equipment....why anyone sends money to comp... | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? I am always taken back by the sound those older LP's have hidden in them. I found that better equipment doesn't emphasis those ticks, pops, and noises that lesser equipment seems to bring out, yet does bring out those audiphile traits that make us... | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? Just play them | |
| Ayre V-1xe Upgrde - Great Care & Professionalism I am a happy Ayre owner as well.... Kudos to the Ayre team especially Michael Weidemeyer..(I doubt if I spelled his name correctly, but he knows who I'm talking about) | |

With the likes of VPI, Sota, SME, etc. who will solidly support the owner with a business that is a proven going concern and who will be there for their customers 3 y... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? The way I read this is that the shipping co. accepts liability, and that you are just waiting for Magnepan to open the package and provide a damage report and a cost to repair the speaker. I think it's discraceful if these are the facts as I see t... | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? Class D is fine for sub-woofers...lots of power but no finess...Class A has little power but lots of finess | |
| VPI Classic vs Avid Volvere SP I would not make the move. The Classic is one great turntable | |
| rear firing tweeters.... My Vandersteen 5A's have rear fireing tweeters which provide extra high frequency energy for "problem" rooms...however, it also presents phase problem, so they have an "off" position for most setups. |
