| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Gee whiz...you guys are tough. I am reviewing all the money I spent on those low budget amps and value oriented crap only to upgrade, and upgrade the upgrade. I am suggesting that he wait to afford the stuff he wants, and if it is the 8000 dollar ... | |
| Armoire between speakers Probably dramatic if its a large armoire. | |
| Dynavector xv-1s for Scoutmaster Sig. You will be very pleased with this combination. VPI arms have been getting a bad rap, which is not at all warranted. I am using a Benz LPS on a VPI arm with great results. | |
| surface noise and cartridge/ phono pre questions Have you tried the MINT cleaner? I got a sample when I got his alignment jig. I use it and then suck it off with a Nitty Gritty....works well. | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs My perspective is that both Vandersteen and Thiel make musical sounding speakers..they both need good electronics to make them sound their best....they both reveal faults preceeding them. My question is why your sub doesn't mate well with your Ven... | |
| VPI Super Scoutmaster Cartridge ? This post was to remind the original poster that Benz cartridges are an alternate to Dyna. He might like the Benz take better if he found a store that could demo both. | |

| Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound... Solar Panels | |
| VPI Super Scoutmaster Cartridge ? If you're looking for state of the art with VPI tuntables....Harry himself uses the Benz LPS in his home system. | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? When I traded my LP for the LPS, I was prepared for an upgrade but not to this extent. The LPS does everything the LP did, but much better. The things that really get to me is how fast the LPS is. Percussion has a start and stop that the LP didn't... | |
| Servicing amplifiers from very small companies? I would guess that they can be made to work, but not as well as the company that originates them. I have been burned too many times to buy from small companies. | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 TeaJay...I agree with you... Josh 358 seems to be gushing too much. I love Maggies, ... there are things they do very, very well, and things that other speakers do better. | |
| Class D amps Fiddler....or they are not competetive in their price range...are not selling. Try Ayre, Audio Research, BAT, etc., | |
