| best RCA interconnects under $150 Anti-Cables...still my favorites | |
| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? The Avalons sound more like music to me.... | |
| My Marantz TT-15 and Parasound JC3 don't get along Grounding issues are ticklish things to take care of .... If there is a 3 prong plug on your preamp, use a cheater to eliminate the 3rd ground. If that doesn't work, use a thin wire you have around the house to ground the turntable to the preamp. ... | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. If you live in or near Scottsdale Arizona, you are welcome to come hear my VPI Superscoutmaster rim drive driven by Ayre gear into Vandersteen 5A's. Let me know if you are interested. | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl You only need 1 sub since the very low tones are non-directional, however....the more subs the merrier 2,3,4 to even out the pressure zones in the room.

| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help I have always found that I can set up a cartridge better than the dealer. YOu can as well...just be patient. Ask questions if you need to - it takes time to do it properly. If you have VPI minifeet on your table - a huge upgrade is to get rid of t... | |
| What cartridge for VPI and SOTA Shelters don't work well with VPI arms. Dyna or Benz are the best I've heard. Look into Bearpaws (Vermontaudio.com) for your VPI. Huge upgrade. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? I never met a passive preamp I could live with...dynamics are severely squashed | |
| Vandersteen 5A Speakers If you look at the Vandersteen website...click on the 5A owners manual....it gives a graph showing suggested speaker placement. See if it works in your room. | |
