| Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table Jperry...I have a Scoutmaster and love it. | |
| Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table One of the best things for you to do with your P25 is to get it off of those rubber feet. Put 3 Cardas blocks or dominos under the wood surround and it will improve performance. Have you rewired the arm and got an offset (dropped) counterweight fo... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? "musical" would be MY choice. I believe Richard Vandersteen would also agree since the setup for my 5A speakers was not a quest for straight line response (Richard told me that sounds awful)....but rather to simply eliminate the big peaks and vall... | |
| compare different grades of Audioquest cable I've said this before...the only way to know how a cable sounds is to listen to it in YOUR system. All cables sound different connected to different components. In MY system, Audioquest Sky/Everest was a terrific combination, but the Audioquest Si... | |
| Phono recommendations for Koetsu ..another tact is to get an excellent high output cartridge so there is no need for the step up, or cables to get it connected. If you listen to the Benz Ebony H, you might even like it better than the Koetsu, whose time has come and gone for me. | |
| Good speakers under 10K. Vandersteen 5A's are a fine speaker, however it requires excellent care in setup and ancillary electronics for them to really sing....and sing they can. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System The idea is to find the cable that sounds best to you in your system. Do not buy by price (staying within your budget), but by sound. There are many inexpensive cables that sound great. | |
| Anti-Skate dial-How to set it? + a bonus question There are those that say that there is no need for side thrust compensation at all. VPI says that all arms should remove the device because it can be heard as it works, providing noise to the original signal. Never the less, as posted above, the a... | |
| VPI Traveller Usually, VPI arms work well with Benz, Dyna, Grado, Soundsmith, - most med. mass cartridges. I have not heard the Traveler, but Harry wouldn't build a dog - especially in honor of his recently departed wife. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s The thing about the Ayre amp is that not only is it a great sounding amp, but it is absolutely stable into difficult loads...and doubles its output with decreasing impedance. Note, as I mentioned above, its best sound comes from using it in balanc... | |
| Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout. VPI and Dynas (or Benz) ....matched in heaven. Great!! | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Audio Research and Ayre....greatly protected by wonderful customer service, and wonderful performance. The companies are stable and not going out of business. | |
| Mirror for cartridge set up? The VPI gizmo isn't bad, but after setting up my cartridge with a MINT, the sound was improved. | |
| B&W 804D vs 803S Spinaker...My comment wasn't useless. I simply reminded him to listen to other speakers and not be stuck on B&W. When my wife passes away, I needed a present and bought an 802D - the first speaker that I came across reading their glossy ads. T... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? I don't understand the need for a mono pickup. I play mono records with my LPS and am very pleased....many times it sounds better than their stereo versions... |
