| changing overall tone ..another thought.... Use headphones. You can get state of the art sound very inexpensively. Check out www.headphone.com | |
| Kimber 8TC - help with termination bi-wire works best when different cables are used for the run...not making the one wire work for both upper and lower connections. If interested go to Vandersteen.com for an explanation. | |
| changing overall tone You have a system that brings music to you. It has no pretense to be high end...work toward a new amp, preamp, speakers...then think about cable, power conditioners, resonance control devices, etc. If you don't have the budget now, just enjoy your... | |
| Upgrades for Scoutmaster, In order of improvement? The addition of the feet is only a mild improvement. The change from the 9 inch sig to the 10.5 is a minor improvement except that it is easier to dial in VTA if that is important to you. The heavy platter, the SDS, the ring clamp are all worthwhi... | |
| Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx I don't know your amp, but Levenson stuff is very dark as is your cables. You might think about experimentaion in that area. ..also, check out the Oyaide power cord....just a suggestion. | |
| Oyaide Tvad...tell us how it goes..I just might use the bulk wire and put the plugs on that depending on your evaluation. Thanks Stan | |
| Oyaide TVAD...that may be so, however, I wouldn't have the fun of experimentation. I used C-046, and P=046. They are the most neutral. | |
| TT Noob questions I really think surface noise has to do with setup. Before I used the Mint protractor, I heard very little surface noise...now lp's are about as quiet as CD's. Once in a while a pop or click goes by, but it really is silent most of the time. There ... | |
| Oyaide Actually, I found Cardas power cords the very worst power cords I have ever heard. Yes I chopped the ends off of Purist, Audioquest, Cardas, and they all very much improved with the Oyaide plugs, and they all sounded pretty much alike. I like best... | |
| Oyaide I have a bunch of different wire and a couple of power cords from Cardas and Audioquest..tried those | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Yes...and don't forget to take your glasses off for listening (or wear contact lenses). The frames vibrate sympathetically and ruin the sound. | |
| Best balanced signal cable Anti-cables | |
| Oyaide I had extension cords I made myself...3 conductor 12 guage, SJ 300 V. AIW-K SCA FT1. I used regular top grade plugs that was recommended to me from a large electrical supply house. I chopped the ends and installed the OYAIDE C-046, and P-046 on th... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? For a temporary fix, go to Home Depot and get some Moretite. Take a blob of it and put it under the headshell. Adjust the VTF and see what happens | |
| VPI SSM with Rim Drive - New belts ??? Sonofjim...VPI has (or is in the process of having) a new ring for the rim drive....not new belts as I understand it. Shiela promised one to me when its ready...I'll let you know what I think, or you can ask for one for yourself. |
