| VPI tone arm set up I second Markus 2399 regarding the Mint Tractor. | |
| Grado woodie with SOTA/Origin Live? I had a Grado Sonata low output. I thought it was a musical cartridge, however, when I changed to a Benz, it revealed that the cartridge was grainy and had a "brown" quality to it. I suggest you listen to a Benz or Dyna and then make your decision. | |
| Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker? Try Anti-Cables...No lie. They are very neutral and revealing. They have a money back guarantee My dealer dropped by to voice my Vandersteen 5A's and was really impressed. They work better for me than anything I've tried, and I've tried lots | |
| Aerial 10T vs B&W 802 Nautilus I got my 802D's right after my wife died a couple of years ago. I needed a present and thought that the B&W's were beautiful to look at...I guess I thought that the top module reminded me of a woman's breast. Anyway, I never could get the spea... | |
| Aerial 10T vs B&W 802 Nautilus To these ears, 10T's are far better than B&W 802's | |
| Dynavector, Denon or Lyra Cart on Roksan Nima? For me it does | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers Why mess with a good thing...replace the batteries. | |
| Dynavector, Denon or Lyra Cart on Roksan Nima? Personally, every time I've heard Zyx offerings, I've found too much definition and not enough music. It's analogous to having the contrast of the tv increased too much....just my taste. I do like the Dynas. | |
| VPI Rim Drive To these ears, there is a significant improvement in the sound. I talked to Harry, and he agreed. I suspect there have been many versions of the belt. My rim drive is one of the first that was shipped. Perhaps there are those with an improved orig... | |
| Mint Tractor I was very skeptical of the Mint...I set the table up very carefully with the VPI protractor, and much to my amazement, the results was very much better after I readjusted with the Mint. It wasn't very far off with the VPI, but the difference was/... | |
| Vandersteen 5A Another really nice hotel is The Boulders. It is much more in the desert...great golf, horseback riding, shooting, etc. If you decide to come out here, let me know, we'll touch base...I want you to hear my system. | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail ..I don't agree the timber is an important consideration, since timber is always affected by concert hall/venue acoustics, and the distance the instrument playing is from the audience. My violin sounds way different when I play it, then when I hea... | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail Mrmitch...that's why going to live music concerts is important. If one does, he/she will know what live music sounds like and is likely to replicate that in the home. All is lost if one's perception of music is from car radios, tv, etc. since ther... | |
| Effective AC power conditioners for digital?? I have not had good luck with any power conditioner. They always introduce some bug in my system that annoys. They do change the sound, and one must be careful not to accept changed sound as better. By the way...Richard Gray was particularly bad | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions Dopogue...Regarding the VPI rim drive.....it is a very significant upgrade. Your doubts will be put to rest if you give it a listen |
