| SUT shootout ..just wondering how the LP compares to the Koetsu | |
| Replace VPI TNT rubber belt with nylon thread When you put the string on a VPI table, it sounds closer, but not equal to a rim drive....it makes the same kind of upgraded sound, cleaner, clearer, more tuneful bass, etc. | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice You will no doubt get a bigger abode in a few years. Why spend money with limited results. Get a really good headphone and headphone amp if you need it, and get cutting edge sound for the here and now. When you get your bigger place you can go the... | |
| Iam a NEWBIE in analog, will someone help me I have a Benz LP - a bit more expensive, but much more refined. When you need to replace the stylus, Benz has an excellent return/upgrade offer. Leave the tubes alone for now...experiment when they burn out. | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement I agree that CD is sometimes jaw dropping good, however, there is simply more information on vinyl. The better my system gets, the more clear that Vinyl is better...even if vinyl, playing on a less than perfect turntable with wow, flutter, scratch... | |

| Dynavector 17D3 hitting clamp on VPI Scout I've heard of this problem a few times. If you send your clamp back to VPI, they will take a sliver off of the periphery. Problem solved | |

| Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers? You can't beat an Ayre amp and preamp run balanced with your CX7. Ayre straddles the best parts of tube and solid state sound....very musical. I recommend the V1xe. Don't use Cardas with Ayre. | |
| Turntable isolation The sound of my Rega was greatly improved when I put 3 Cardas blox under the surround. Probably dominoes would work too. | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not If you needed a catalytic converter on your 5 year old Porsche, would you get the parts from Porsche, or would you find the cheaper parts made for Porsche? | |
| Do all good interconnects sound the same? Not only do all interconnects sound different, but the same interconnect can sound different depending what it is attached to. Price also does not mean one cable is better than another. That is why you must listen, and find the cable that works fo... | |
| VPI Steel vs. Aluminium tonearm Harry told me that the original aluminum arm is best for my Benz LP. I have no problems, and the sound is wonderful. | |
| VPI Enthusiasts: Going Backwards? Harry told me that he listens mainly to his Superscoutmaster/rim drive | |
| Home Depot speaker cable, which one to buy THHN - put a spade on each end, you need two cables for each speaker. |
