| Upgrade turntable or buy a record cleaning machine Get a better turntable. Clean your records with steam...far better than rcm | |
| after Valhalla, i changed to ...just as a cautionary note... Valhalla takes a long, long, long time to break in. If you are not satisfied with it after a couple of months, keep on truckin cuz it will get better. | |
| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices If you have such a small space to relegate to a stereo system, get great electonics and earphones. You will be much happier. | |
| New2Analog - Table Setup Help? I presume your CD or fm is playing as you like it?? | |
| DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up Kr4 is correct. If you had the Panasonic BD 55 or similar, the Blu-Ray player could do the decoding. | |
| Purist Audio vs. Harmonic Technology Carol...you've got to listen to these things yourself. If you take someone else's word for the comparison, you would be foolish. ALL cables react differently and sound differently in each system. One of the joys of this hobby/addiction is to evalu... | |
| Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout. Goatwuss...I too have a VPI and consider it a mistake to use the VPI single point alignment guage. It get you close, but no cigar. I really encourage everyone to get the MINT protractor. The difference between a very careful setup with anything th... | |
| nordost red dawn: problem, please help ..you seem as though you like to get your hands into it kind of guy. I built a Dynakit years ago. It worked right after assembly, was fun to build, and sounded very good. I understand that they are available with updated boards, etc. You might tak... | |
| Vandersteen 7 Flagship at CES Programmergeek...just wondering if you have the standard finish on your 5A's, I have the Kawazinga finish, and everone that sees it thinks its gorgeous. | |
| nordost red dawn: problem, please help The cables are not your problem. Blue Heaven are very good actually. Red Dawn is a bit bright for me but....nevertheless... It sounds like you need more watts or a more efficient speaker. It sounds like the protection circuit is cutting in. | |
| Adding a second sub Sorry Dwhitt...the additional sub would be most beneficial...as a matter of fact 4 subs would be even more so. It evens the lows, adds more realism with less effort, etc., etc. | |
| What's better than FIM power cords I am using Oyeida plugs with Accrolink wire for power cords. The difference between these and very good power cords I had was stunning. | |
| Vandersteen woofer replacements Gary...the socks should be in place when listening. The speaker are voiced with the socks in place. Yes, there is more highs that come through, but its an affectation. They're your speakers, but people should be cautioned about this. | |
| Are you using anti-skating or not I do not use anti-skate... Not only does my VPI 10.5 sound better with no anti-skate, but if I don't install the anti-skate device, it sounds even better. I also have a Rega that works better with no anti-skate, and the a/s defeated. | |
| What is a B&W 801M? You had better have a amp with very healthy output for these to work well....also, they are very bass heavy. I've seen them working with a Crown 1000 watt amp, and pegging the meters. |
