| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? I too vote for the SDS | |
| Weird issue with my VPI... please help Bad cartridge...no setup error that I know will make a cartridge sound like that. I agree about Shelter cartridges...they sound fine in a VPI arm. Call back your dealer, explain the problem and get an RA number to send it back. | |
| Gallos how good are they? The Gallos don't sound anything like the MBL's. I really like the Gallos, and don't like the MBL's at all. (they sound like German tanks to me- heavy, lumbering, etc.) | |
| Placement question Go to Vandersteen.com and click on to the 5A's owners' manual. In there they will give you specific measurements and graphs for speaker placement. I found this to be very valuable and can attest that following these suggestions make a very real di... | |
| Audio Physic Scorpio or Vandersteen Signature 3A All vandersteen speakers sound a bit rolled off in the highs until you get used to their design. Richard says it's because they are absolutely time aligned..never the less, listen for a while before you make any final decision. | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? I don't know the Raven that well...I only heard it once in an unfamiliar system. I was just wondering however, if anyone compared the Raven to the VPI rim drive. I do know that the rim drive moves the VPI to a much higher level. I know Raven owner... | |
| why are two subs harder to place than full range? Vandersteen says put them in the corners | |
| Reality Cables made of? I found that THHN sounds better not solder...but then, Gregg might be better at soldering than I... | |
| faint precession of sound on vinyl Shadone...I am a professional musician and can tell you flat out that pre-echo should not be there. It is not natural and is sometimes a serious fault. I believe this is from the storage of the tape when a the adjacent layer picks up the magnetic ... | |
| importance of interconnect from scout sig to pre I'm using Anti-Cable XLR balanced from my Superscout to the preamp. Paul Speltz suggested a double shielded interconnect. I tried that and a regular Anti-Cable balanced interconnect. There was no need for the double shielded version ..and it sound... | |
| VTA adjustment for VPI 10.5 tonearm Hi Sonofjim... I use nothing for anti-skate at all...not even the Twist (Chubby Checker notwithstanding). I know that VPI arms can be a pain to adjust, but if you are inquisitive..just detach your monofilament to detect any difference. If you hear... | |
| rega 3-24 verses other similiar priced tables Frank_SM The P5 is 1295 and the VPI with JMW 9 tonearm is 1600. We are saying the same thing...to sqeeze a bit more from the pocketbook and get a bit more turntable. I don't doubt you like your Rega, I have a P25 for years and like it too...the fa... | |
| "Best" of the "Universal" players ???. I'm using the Ayre C5xe Universal player. I think it's wonderful, but there is a caution. It sounds its best using balanced mode. | |
| Help needed: speakers for desktop ..just today I got via E-mail, a magazine called Playback. This is published by "The Absolute Sound" and "Perfect Vision". In the current issue they review quite a few desktop speakers. | |
| VTA adjustment for VPI 10.5 tonearm By the way...my point about the VTF setup is this. For each cartridge, there is one "best" VTF. I believe that tracking force is different for every single cartridge. The manufacturer might specify 1.5-2.5 grams, however, within that range, there ... |
