| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? Gee whiz... get the 5A's and be done with it. | |
| Supernait - Are my ears kidding me? My suggestion is not to buy it until you are sure. If there is ANYTHING about the unit that bothers you, it will really be grating in a short time. In truth, it does not matter where the volume control is, provided the sound is good. That being sa... | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? I guess Jeff's post is against VPI's Harry Weisfield. There are a great many very nice people in the Hi-Fi business...some like Mike at Ayre, John at AudioConnection, and Harry at VPI. I know there are others as well, but I have had personal deali... | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? VPI has a new superlube (maybe not so new any more). It comes in a hypo looking dispenser and it looks a bit like Vaseline (though I am assured it is not). It made my VPI sound better. | |
| Speaker cable upgrade If you decide to experiment with cables, I have had much success with Anti-Cables. They are very cheap, but very, very good in my system. All cables sound different, so you should listen to the various products. I personally didn't think Kimber Mo... | |
| List : Components with high dynamics To these ears, good dynamics don't translate into high sound pressure levels. I primarily listen to classical music and excellent dynamics were a major quest for my particular system. Dynamics come in all stripes, the proper presentation of which ... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? John is a good guy and will steer you right. | |
| From LP12 to where...? I had an LP-12 and also bought from Linn, a dealer's set up manual. It was about 50 pages or so, had a gray cover, and revealed lots of "secrets" in getting the setup right. I think if you pursue the self-care of the table, you will be successful.... | |
| Power Cords for Cary I strongly suggest you listen to other cables than Cardas. If you still like the Cardas, fine, but they sounded very bad in my system...that's not to say they will be bad in yours..but. They are grainy, closed in, fuzzy, without clarity, and/or mu... | |
| Ayre vs Boulder Audio Research has a more laid back presentation...as Vandersteen sometimes do. I like Ayre better. | |
| VPI tone arm set up I have a Benz Ebony LP, and had a Benz Ebony high output...both wonderful. Dyna xv-1 is also great. Listen to both and decide. | |
| Bryston 14B-SST or Pass Labs X 350.5 You should also consider Ayre amps...I think its the best of them.. | |
| VPI Rim Drive I don't think the single motor flywheel is available yet...however, it is in the works. Contact VPI for confirmation | |
| Problem with Ayre C-7xe CD player? I have the C5xe..and yes there are some discs that Ayre doesn't like. You are right Ayre stuff does sound fabulous. I hope you are using yours balanced...the sound is much better on all Ayre products that are balanced. Michael is a great guy...he ... | |
| Ayre vs Boulder I am playing my Vandersteen 5A's with everything Ayre. I found that Audioquest Sky is second of all the many cables I've tried. Anti-Cables are first. I'm not kidding. Also, I've tried lots of power cords, but the ones I got from VHAudio that I ma... |
