| 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... | |
| Audioquest DBS vs Synergistic Research Tesla? You simply cannot buy cables on other people's recommendations...especially in a biamped system. You must hear the way your choice interacts with everything in your room. Duntech's are great speakers and will reveal great differences in cables. Yo... | |
| Anti-Cabls Ic's alternatives? When I was looking for a meter of balanced Anti-Cable for my Superscoutmaster rim drive to my preamp, I wondered about any hum problem. Paul made me a double shielded version. When I compared that to a regular meter, I found that they are very, ve... | |
| How would you compare Ayre to Parasound? Yes indeed missioncoonery...All Ayre equipment should be run balanced to hear what it is capable of. The single ended connection is only there for convenience. I also recommend you using balanced operation with phono into their preamp. Ayre amps a... | |
| Break-in time I wired my system with Cardas and it sounded really lousy. Colleen Cardas told me they had to break in. After about a year, I sold them. | |
| Do power cables mAke difference on powered woofer I found this to be the oddest surprise in all my years of experimentation in audio. My speakers are Vandersteen 5A's which have powered subs...the upper range coming directly from my Ayre amp. When I changed the power cord on the internal Vanderst... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regarding the Grado Sonata low output...I had one and replaced it with a Benz Ebony LP. The Grado in contrast sounded very grainy, muddy, brown in character, with limited high end response. I have been using Grado cartridges for years. I knew him ... | |
| Biwire with different cables? It might be a bit different but it isn't going to get better..maybe worse. Anti-Cables are very, very good. |
