| Allen wrench size for Triangle Stella? I submitted this post but it wasn't posted so here it is again. Be careful about tightening driver screws. Most have to be torqued properly or damage like warping or cracking can occur. There are speakers such as Vandersteens, whose screws are use... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? Narrod.... I just moved from NJ to Scottsdale, Arizona. I bought my 5A's with me, but they have to be tuned to the new room with the use of a special tone generating CD disc specially for this process, and a sound pressure meter. There are corresp... | |
| Allen wrench size for Triangle Stella? BE CAREFUL. There are speakers that have to be torqued to the proper tension or damage can occur. Vandersteen speekers and others use those screws during manufacture to hold the speakers in place until freshly applied mastic cures beneath. By movi... | |
| Mistracking zyx after hibernating? ..just a bit of disagreement with Bnrlaw. The Shure scale registers a bit heavier than actual. If however, you situate the scale on the edge of the turntable with the 2 front feet of the scale off of the platter, it is very accurate. Also, It has ... | |
| Anyone experienced with Sound Guard? I used it once many years ago and threw it away. I remember it making the record noisy. | |
| MBL alternatives I dont know what kind of money you have in your budget for speakers, in my view, Vandersteen at any price point sounds like music, and gives great value. Except for the 5A's or perhaps the Quattros, they dont have a good look, but they certainly h... | |
| Slight hum from VPI HW-19 Motor Ferrites take care of rf. A different power cord will not change it. This is a grounding problem. Are your cables plugged ALL the way in? Is your cartridge wired correctly? Are your cables clean. If you are using a 2 prong power cord, turn it 180 ... | |
| DYNAVECTOR Karat 17D3---stylus rake angle? HELP It sounds like you're driving yourself nuts. On another thread, I gave directions on measuring the tonearm so that it is exactly parallel to the turntable. If the tonearm is parallel, you're there. Most people like the arm slightly lower in the ba... | |
| Weird issue with my VPI... please help Artemus..remember that the better the component, the car, the wine, the watch, etc., etc., the bigger the price which goes up exponentially. Therefore the Ebony may only be better in some ways..maybe even marginally better, but to get that bump in... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? My wife suggests a jewelry counter in the corner for a "get back" to that expensive amp... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? Service, Service, Service I can't understand why some retailers act the way they do. I needed something from my dealer in NJ, and had to keep after him to buy whatever it was. He knows that I spend lots of money on this stuff, and yet, he was not ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A and high power amps What in the world would you want with high power amps for 5A's??. Surely you know that 5A's have 1000 watt amps built into each speaker for the lows....therefore, your amp will only be operating the mids and highs....easy to drive. I am using 200/... | |
| Mistracking zyx after hibernating? I don't know that particular cartridge that well, however, ALL parameters of a good cartridge setup must be proper or the setup is wrong. Recheck overhang, azimuth, cartridge mounting, as well as VTF. The next step is to send it back to the import... | |
| Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3? What I was cautioning is that there are many including me that have heard this brand and have found them lacking. When I say no bass, I mean it. The texture was wrong: they were flat sounding..no depth, no air... The ancillary equipment included f... | |
| PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference? I think I've tried every power conditioner out there. They all made my system worse...yes, they change the sound and it sounds different, but don't confuse different with better. |
