| MC Cartridge Degaussing Demagnetizing Regarding Fluxbusting.... When you turn on the device, it does its job and then stops. The end of cycle is the actual turning off the unit and then switching to the other half of the cartridge to demag that. What I do is disconnect the unit from t... | |
| Parasound JC3 or Ayre P-5xE Ayre products are a different level. They all are balanced designed and therefore should be used with balanced interconnects and connected to other balanced equipment to get the best from them. They will work single ended but its a shame not to ge... | |
| MC Cartridge Degaussing Demagnetizing I have a Fluxbuster (old) and use it about every month or so. It DOES make a difference on my Benz Ebony LP. Some cartridge manufacturers don't approve of it because they use wire that connects the pins to the coil that is so thin and delicate, th... | |
| Would I benefit from a headphone amp? Sure would...that's always the way to go | |
| high output cartridge for vpi scout Call Harry at VPI....he will be your best source of information. | |
| Anti-skating problem L-shaped rooms are a bitch to get right. You might have to change the position of your speakers as well. | |
| Can you hear matched power cables? I disagree that evaluation of a system is best done with the same power cords. I have made sets of power cords using acrolink cable but with Furutech F1 ends, and Oyeida ends. I have an all Ayre sytem except for the speakers which are Vandersteen ... | |
| loading resistor question Jazzgene....I asked the manufacturer of my preamp - Ayre for a resistor ...they sent it to me free. Works great. | |

| 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. |
