| 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... | |
| Von Schweikert vs Wilson Vandersteen should be on your listening list.... | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord Since all cable is system dependent, you must audition the cable in YOUR system to see if meets your expectations. All cable sounds different in different systems. | |
| Direct Drive turntables One of the posts above mentioned a wobble in the VPI rim drive. That is a common problem of poor setup. My rim drive is absolutely stable and sounds fabulous. | |
| Is a Sub worth the bother? Yes a powered sub will help - your main speaker will not "try" to do things it can't. The sub doesn't have to be a state of the art one...any powered sub will do. | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout As I said before - Denons and the S/S VPI 9 arm is a great combination....Harry himself says that. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System There is no correlation between cost and performance in wire. I use Anti-Cables...I compared it to the top of the lines in Nordost, Audioquest, Kimber, Wireworld, Purist, Cardas, etc.,etc. To my wife's and my ears, Anti-Cables came out best. The c... | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout Regarding Shelters and VPI arms.. The new stainless steel one or the additional weight if you have the aluminum one will serve the cartridge better than another combination. Benz and Dynas are best in the aluminum one. |
