| Best preamp fpr AR Classic speakers? All Ayre equipment is balanced...sure you can run it single ended but it won't deliver its excellences like that. I am quite sure it will work, however, not as wonderful as it could. Call Ayre...they are nice people and will answer you the proper ... | |
| New VPI Scout II Owner ..anything with Benz or Dynavektor on the box would be good. Make sure you address your preamp's capabilities. | |
| Balanced cable end at which end? That's why there are arrows showing direction on cables....one end - the terminating end is grounded. | |
| HDMI for video / Coax Digital for audio???? I use HDMI for my video portion, but audio analogue for audio. It requires 6 cables...1 for the powered sub, but I let my Blu-Ray player do the conversions that sends it to the receiver. | |
| Cardas Neutral Ref IC V Cardas Cross I've had all of Cardas products in my system including the Ayre Cables that they make for Ayre. I found that all Cardas in MY system (yours can and probably will be different) that the soundstage is greatly truncated...flat with little height. The... | |
| Speed Stability The rim drive may have speed problems if not set up correctly...there are fixes for all of it. Check the screw tension on the motor pulley(s). Talc or replace the belt(s) | |
| Classical Music LPs recommendations The Prokofiev Romeo and Julliet to get is the Maazel/Cleveland Orch recording on London or Decca. It was on The Absolute Sound's preferred list for sound and performance. I just love it. How about opera? The Bernstein "Carman" is wonderfully recor... | |
| Were My Speakers Damaged ? AR speakers are very robust, however, while they are playing very softly put your ear up against the grill cloth next to each driver and listen for anything untoward....no sound coming from them, or garbled sound coming from them | |
| Boy, do I need help EEEGads...Try the system without the Richard Grey stuff. I have Ayre, and it just ruined the sound. I also believe that my system sounds so good because all my stuff is from one company....all designed by the same guy, with interaction problems ta... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Thuchan...The Panamera is probably the best of its type, but I have a Cayman S in my driveway..now you're talking... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? I think its nuts spending that kind of scratch on a turntable. Go get a Porsche and burn off some of that energy... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster 2 vd Clearaudio Performance SE You really have to hear what the Classic does to understand it. Harry's other tables all sound a bit different, with different plus's and minus's I have a Superscout and wouldn't trade in spite of the hype. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster 2 vd Clearaudio Performance SE I have a Superscout and love it. The Clearaudio tends to be lighter in character. Harry gives great support. | |
| JMW 10.5 vs SME V I hope those anti-VPI people won't take offence, but I had an SME V (on a SOTA) and traded it in for a VPI 9 (got it used) (not Sig which is better). It was a very, very big step up. | |
| Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i Either Benz or Dyna cartridges are perfect matches for the 10.5 aluminum arm....the Shelters, Denons, etc. should be used with the new stainless steel arm. I am using a Benz Ebony LP with great success with my 10.5i. I like the sound of the Benz b... |
