| B&W 801 vs 803s I went from the B&W's to Vandersteen 5A's...a huge step up. Personally, I think Vandersteen Quattros are excellent too. In my opinion, Vandersteen is the top of the heap at each price point. I also like Dynaudio, Magnepan and Thiels. They all ... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s If you are going to upgrade, open the possibilities with different speakers. I am one of those who doesn't particularly like B&W's ....owned the 801's at one time. | |
| Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files ..to these ears, on my computer with I-Tunes...Benz wins. It sounds more silent between the notes which brings greater clarity...and it seems more dynamic. ..interesting test... Thanks | |
| Whirring sound in Scoutmaster motor normal? Call VPI. I hear no noise at all...dead silence. When it was new there was a ticking sound...I lubed the brass plate with some thin oil VPI sent to me. There is thicker grease which Harry said was a new product which is to be used on the main bear... | |
| What VPI junction box do I have? Thanks Islandman...I can breathe easier now....(not said sarcastically) | |
| What VPI junction box do I have? I have a 10.5i, and although it says Nordost on the arm, there is no indication of Nordost wiring internally in the junction box. I personally believe all the junction boxes are wired the same with the exception of RCA or XLR termination. You can ... | |
| By-pass or Remove X-over in Revel Studios 1st Gen EEGADS....all that R&D that Revel did on that speaker and with a blind snip you'll defeat it. If Revel thought biamping would improve this speaker, they would have included the necessary inputs. I would NEVER do this... Return your new electro... | |
| Power conditioners I doubt if your problem is fixable with a power conditioner. | |
| All vandersteen users ? I am a Vandersteen user. These speakers are one of the great bargains at any of their price levels. The only sure way of deciding if the speaker/amp combination is to your liking is to set them up in your room and listen to them together. In my ex... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I just opened this thread..late. I listened to the very song on my VPI rim drive/10.5 with my Benz LP, and have no sibilant problem at all. I agree with Doug that a touch of damping fluid at the pivot might help. I set up my arm very carefully wit... | |
| Dynavector XX2MK2 vs. Soundsmith "The Voice" You should also look into a Benz cartridge. Dynas and Benz's work very well in the VPI arm. | |
| JMW 9'' Signature Tonearm I would send it back for a complete refund and start again. | |
| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership When I was in graduate school, there was a place in New Brunswick, New Jersey called HiFi Haven. This place was a meeting place...a club if you will for audio enthusiasts. A guy named Stan and his wife owned it, but the real deal was the salesman.... | |
| Two questions about VPI peripheral ring If the outer ring seems to rise and fall while the record is playing, reposition it. I agree about the washer. | |
| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership I like the brick and mortar store. I have been buying these black boxes for 50 years or so, and have often wondered why the store completes their sale and never gets back with suggestions of a new upgrade, component, or accessory that would improv... |
