| VPI phono cables. Is there better synergy? I have a balanced configuration and am using Anti-Cables with great satisfaction. | |
| Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables... I keep saying Anti-Cables.. If you haven't tried them, you don't know. | |
| Problem vith VPI Scout and Dynavector 20XH If everything is fine from the cartridge to the preamp, start switching wires from the output of the preamp to the input of your amp and see if the reduced sound moves. If it does, your preamp needs attention | |
| What is best VTA for Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge? Have you set up your cartridge using a Mint?... also experiment with removing anti-skate. I have the same table and no anti-skate works best with my 10.5i/Benz Ebony LP | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Sig 2's with Alpha Core AG-1 wire Why would you bother with anything else when Anti-Cables is so neutral, transparent, and inexpensive. I'm using it for all my cables after extensive listening tests with as many top shelf cables I could borrow. Only Audioquest Silver (Sky/Everest)... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? I'm surprised I don't see my favorite amp...Ayre on the list. | |
| Turntable/Tonearm Advice For me, vacuum hold down, or VPI peripheral clamp are valuable aids. Not only do these hold the record tightly to the platter, but they take out all the little hills and valleys, so that your tonearm doesn't have to track like a Porsche to keep th... | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? For my ears, the days of Koetsu has come and gone. The Benz LP, and new Dyna XV are far better. | |
| VPI JMW setup This is how I adjust for azimuth with my VPI 10.5i. I use the rod method, however, it is difficult to see accurately if the rod is truly horizontal....so..... I use a Cardas wood block (looks kind of like a domino). I took 2 of the blocks, and add... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance I dare say you can not post a "review" of power cords. Every one that I have tried sounds different using different components...in fact, I am using my favorite cords which are Furutech connections on Accrolink, and Oyeida ends on Accrolink. I hav... | |
| Vinyl beginner frustrations Azimuth and VTA I use a lined index card folded in half in such a way that the blue lines are horizontal - left to right. This makes a "tent" which I put between the turntable's spindle, and the arm cued down, resting on a record. I line up the arm tube with thos... | |
| VPI JMW setup The most helpful thing I did to my VPI arm was to adjust it with a Mint protractor. The VPI metal protractor is ok and gets you to the neighborhood, but the Mint takes you into the house. There is a definite sound improvement with the MINT. I prot... | |
| Cables for Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II I'm using Anti-Cables with my Vandersteen 5A's with great satisfaction. They have a money back guarantee. | |
| All vandersteen users ? Vandersteen speakers are capable of extraordinary performance. Even more important than raw power is quality of upstream components. Your best bet is to bring a pair home and try it with your stuff in your room. | |
| Bass, more or less? Without bass, there is no foundation...no solidity to the performance. Yes, the bass has to be "right" ...clean, fast, not too much or too little...however, it needs to be there for me. Midrange is easier to reproduce, but one of the reasons I hav... |
