| Old Benz Micro vs. Benz Micro S I went from an Benz Ebony LP to the LPS.... The LP was a great cartridge... The LPS does EVERYTHING the LP did, but better. The tracking is sensational..no sandpaper S's or T's ever.. Soundstage is bigger, deeper, higher, etc. The see through aspe... | |
| Good Tube Amp w/Quatros? Palewin....I spoke to Richard not long agon, and he said that people who send in those cards with ancillary equipment say that both Ayre and Audio Research are the top electronics for the top end Vandersteens. You aren't making a mistake choosing ... | |

| Searching for new speakers: Wilson, B&W, ?? My suggestion is to listen to MY favorite speakers...Vandersteen and Magnepan. I owned the big B&W's but tired of them soon. | |

| Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping ..to be fair to the seller, scratches on the Classic, and on the stabilizing weight, are just visual problems. If indeed you paid less than you would if you bought a sealed package from the factory, than I think you have little to complain about. ... | |
| Center Channel with Vandy Quattros? Need help- I don't have a need for really high end when I'm watching a movie....the plot/characters, etc. are far more important. I would retain the beautiful look and do the best I could regarding surround. ...but that's just me. | |

| MERRY CHRISTMAS Right back to all of you....happy listening | |
| Affordable electronics to suit Thiel 3.5 speakers I had the 3.5's and they sounded fine until I auditioned and ultimately bought my Vandersteens. I suspect that what you are hearing is the Thiel sound...If you didn't have the Vandersteens to compare it to, you might like the Thiels. Remember you ... | |
| VPI Rim Drive vibrations Good place for those RollerBlocks. | |
| TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range? Bifwynne Are you now happy with the cartridge you have in your Classic? I have a 10.5i VPI arm, and if set up properly (not hard..just do it properly) I haven't come across too many cartridges that won't work. Some like Shelters need additional we... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Ghosthouse...I don't understand your question. My system is all Ayre, except VPI Superscoutmaster rim drive/Benz lPS, and Vandersteen 5A speakers.
