| Cartridge/Phono-Pre Break-in? If Shure made them from steel, there would be a problem. I have 2 Shure scales. One I've never used...just got it as a "bonus" when I got the 10.5i arm a couple of months ago. I checked that one with a magnet and my old one that I got about 1956 o... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Yes that's true...but to me quite unbelievable. I just have a regular Sony burner in my computer. I used to make CD's for friends...then I noticed that the copies sound slightly better than the originals. I don't know why, but there it is. | |
| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend DCstep...Have you ever heard Botti in a live conert? That's the way his trumpet sounds. Bring earplugs. | |
| Cartridge/Phono-Pre Break-in? DougD...Why do you think the Shure scale is no good...I think its perfect for us. I dont see the worth of the 100 dollar outlay at all. | |
| Weird issue with my VPI... please help I am using the Benz LP, and it took this cartridge a very, very long time to really come alive...maybe hundreds of hours. Maybe it was the Nordost cable in the arm, but whatever...be patient. You have a very low output cartridge so you have to be ... | |
| what do you do now? Sure there is...go to the website and you can update it to many levels of perfection..some of them costs thousands of dollars. | |
| XLR-RCA: Adapters or Custom Cable? If you have to use adapters, you have the wrong component. I once blew up a Rowland amp with an adapter because of a non=standard ground termination with the xlr, Rowland interface. By all means...try it... | |
| Cartridge Recomendations for VPI HK-19 MK IV w/Gra There are lots of cartridges that have better soundstage, depth, air, clarity, etc., etc. than the Grado Sonato low output. They have a kind of brown coloring to them, and I think with little effort one can do much better. (Dyna or Benz) | |
| 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 ... |
