| The Best Polished Glass Toslink Optical Cables? If you can use a connection other than Toslink, do so. Toslink is a poor choice. | |
| 50' speaker or 50' interconnect? I'm using about 35 ft of balanced Anti-Cable interconnects from the preamp to the amp with about 4 feet of speaker cable. Sounds great....no noise, big, wide, deep soundstage, etc. | |
| Can I ground my preamp? I had a hum problem with a pair of monoblox and got rid of it by running a wire from the preamp chassis to one of the amp's chassis. | |
| Turntable/cartridge/tonearm suggestions Also check out the Superscoutmaster rim drive. It has everything the Classic has, plus a much more powerful low end. The classic sounds a bit quicker,and lighter because it is missing that powerful low end foundation, especially with the Superplat... | |
| power cord for Panasonic G25 See if this works - call them if not http://www.trianglecables.com/expowcab.html | |
| balanced connection, better than single ended? I have an all Ayre system where each component is truly balanced. There are connections as well for single ended use. I've tried both, and balanced is clearly better in this application...and not by a small degree. | |
| 12 inch Graham Phantom I would think that any improvement is minor. I changed my VPI arm from the 9 inch sig to the 10.5, and the change was insignificant. I would think that the arm mass increases with length, and even if the rigidity is maintained, the biggest change ... | |
| vpi classic -phono cable I have a VPI and am using it balanced with Anti-Cables connected to my preamp with great satisfaction. | |
| power conditioners I had a Shunyata power conditioner in my system, (although I don't remember which model number), and found it better than most, but I still preferred it out of my system. I feel no need to experiment for "improvements" now.....perhaps a rebuild of... | |
| Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation Check out Anti-Cables | |
| solid state vs tubes In my youth there was a definite difference in sound between tubes and solid state. Audio Research and Conrad Johnson vs. Krell and Mark Levenson. Today, the very best designs have closed the gap so that there isn't a solid state or tube sound. Th... | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? Cardas Cables (I tried them all) were the worst cables for my system. You have to hear the cable in YOUR system to determine its value. Every cable is different in different applications. | |
| Tonearm for an Aries 3 These posts are filled with comments against the VPI arms. I have a 10.5i and find it very satisfying. I haven't substituted different arms on MY system, however, I have heard the Phantom and the Dyna, on other systems, and mine takes no back seat... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Bobbyalkovic - When I got my Ayre equipment...V1xe amp, K1xe preamp, and C5xemp Silver disc player, I was advised by Ayre itself that Ayre/Cardas cables were the best, so I completely wired the system with the Ayre cables. The cables were in for a... | |
| VPI Scout question I have a Superscout rim drive, with a 10.5i arm which I really like. The goal is mounting and adjusting an arm to bring your cartridge to its full potential. I like my VPI arm. I don't really know if the limiting factor in my system is the arm, ho... |
