| Sennheiser HD595 with speaker terminals? Your best bet is to get a separate headphone amp. Look at headphone.com They are very expert at this sort of thing. | |
| Cart option for VPI turntables Benz and Dyna are both good options that work with the VPI arm. I am using the Benz Ebony LP, and Dyna XV1s. They are both wonderful, the Benz being closer to my perception of what music really sounds like. | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean? Some electronics are designed single ended with balanced operation included so that the buyer would think that the component is a greater performer. The truth is that those circuits that are designed single ended with XLR options sound the same in... | |
| Interconnects to use Anti-Cables work very, very well for me in my system, but you must listen and determine what is best for you. Size/weight does not matter at all...the sound matters. | |
| Cardas Twinlink Interconnect I've tried lots of cables and any Cardas product with my system is very, very bad indeed. That's not to say that Cardas is a bad cable - only that it is bad with my components in my sytem with me. The same cable can sound excellent or rotten depen... | |
| Which power cord more important? All power cords sound different....and different used with different components. My amp likes Accrolink with Furutech plugs, and my preamp from the same manufacturer likes Accrolink with Oyeida plugs. If I switch the power cords around, the sound ... | |
| Benefits of a record ring Very wrong Chazzbo. I've had mine for a couple of years, and never had an accident with it. What if you had a gas leak and your whole house blew up. Not likely. It does only good things, and Im glad I have it. | |
| Upgrading wall outlets I can tell you - I changed fancy Leviton plugs to Porter Ports this week, and it made a very big difference for the better. The system is cleaner and clearer throughout,lyrics are much easier to understand, instruments I never knew were there, are... | |
| VPI Super Platter - where is it? I understand that the aluminum platter will be offered for the Superscoutmaster as well | |
| any other XLR interconnects i should demo? Rnadelman.. stock Anti-Cables are shielded...that is, the ground wire wraps around the hot legs which look like a slinky. It does not have a solid shield. One of the places I use balanced cable is from the turntable to the preamp. I was concerned ... | |
| any other XLR interconnects i should demo? Anti-cables...don't laugh. | |
| New Aluminum Platter from VPI If you check Harry's website, the Superplatter is no longer listed - the aluminum platter will be shipped with the Superscoutmaster. | |
| First Watt F3 or Red Wine Audio 30.2 Why are you evaluating these amps? There are so many great name brand amps..these guys may be out of business in this economy at any time. | |
| Advice on interconnect choice You asked this question on Audiogon as well. I still recommend Anti-Cables that I am using between my Ayre K1xe preamp, and Blockhead/Sennheiser 650 phones with great results. The cables are inexpensive and come with a money back guarantee. | |
| Spica TC-50 and amp advice Those speakers are one of my favorites. They are an extremely musical midrange speaker. Actually, when you listen for awhile, you will really not miss the lows or highs...the mids are so good. Look to proven amp designs...Ayre, Audio Research, Con... |
