| Shelter 501 versus Soundsmith Zephr ? Shelters are not good in VPI arms... Zephyr is much better for this application. | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Classic Anyone using the VPI minifeet.....I got rid of them in favor of something called BearClaws (or paws, I fogot). Anyway, I thought the sound of my VPI Superscoutmaster was very impressive until I did the change. The difference is stunning. Much more... | |
| Your favourite cartridge The Benz LP has the magic of music for me. Others sound too mechanical, detailed, rounded, etc. for music to come through. | |
| Anti skating SME V Another thing that you should check is whether the cartridge is absolutely horizontal. If it is leaning one way or the other, the stylus will not enter the groove properly and will slip. When I leveled the cartridge on my system, it catches the gr... | |
| FIM/Neotech vs. Furutech FI-25 G I/m using the F1-50 series with Acrolink with outstanding results. Quick, open, flat frequency response, deep soundstage , etc. I made some Oyeida 046 Acrolink which adds a bit of "tube" sound but very pleasing indeed. | |
| Newly into vinyl; Regarding LP pops, etc. If your system is up to the task, those occasional pops and clicks will be on a different plane than the music. I hear the music in a deeper soundstage. The pops are much further in front of the speakers...I therefore can i... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? I said "all you need to know". If you can't be very pleased with what's there, you will just confuse yourself further by scrounging around in the underbrush. | |

| Vandersteen Quatro Power Cord I use an Oyeida 430 plug to the wall, connected with Acrolink, and then the best off the shelf pro plug that fits between the fins of my 5A's. The difference was jaw dropping. Every parameter was changed for the better. Richard says all those chan... | |
| conundrum The Maggies are better than the B&W's. ...period. I am suspicious of the dealer, and/or his equipment. | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? The better the cartridge, the better the sound. If you can squeeze out for the top of the line Benz or Dyna cartridges, you won't regret it. | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig Tzh21Y...I do not agree. I had a 9 sig on my table before I installed the 10.5i...truth be told, there is very little difference. My Benz Ebony LP worked well in that arm as well. | |
| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? Regarding the powered sub integration in a system... The low tones if properly crossed over will be sent to the sub, therefore freeing your amp to drive a much easier load on the mids and highs. Therefore, the whole audio spectrum is improved. Act... | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig I have a JMW 10.5i with a Benz Ebony LP installed. I used the MINT protractor in setting it up. It tracks everything I've thrown at it without difficulties. I am using a Superscoutmaster/Rim Drive and found that replacing the mini-feet with Bearpa... | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig I am using the JMW 10.5i with a Benz Ebony LP cartridge. It was set up using the MINT protractor. I have no sibilance problems...it tracks everything I've ever put in its path. The turntable is the Supercoutmaster rim drive. I found that replacing... |
