| Headphones vs loudspeakers ..on another point regarding headphones.. Most headphone jacks are of poor quality, and the circuits are afterthoughts. To get the best from headphones, they need a dedicated headphone amp. | |
| Soldering Cardas interconnect cables its not epoxy..it's a ceramic coating...very difficult to work with. | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? I own Vandersteen 5A's. If you read their literature, the design is such that the driving amp is absolutely loafing because it only operates the mids and highs. The lows are handled by the built in 1000 watt dedicated amps. There is also the abili... | |
| Playstation3 's Blue-Ray vs Stand Alone Units Be careful with Blu=Ray. They are not equal. There are various versions of BluRay, and sometimes some discs will not play on some players. | |
| iPod recommendations ..also, the Nano doesn't sound as good. I understand that it has a flash drive rather than a hard drive. The secret of the IPod is that you must use good earphones to really hear it. It is excellent | |
| 802D vs 800D vs 803D in Small room with open plan? The difference between the 802's and the 800's is really in the bass. I owned the 802's and found the bass adequate, the 800's I find perhaps too adequate. To me they sound bass heavy. The mids and highs are a bit cleaner and clearer on the more e... | |

| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice I know nothing about this table, but do know about mortite. When fresh it's one product, but quickly dries out and is entirely different in a few months. It is not a stable product. | |
| Herbie's mat with NAD 533 My personal preference is the Boston carbon mat. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Upgrade Mordante...en contrar.. Sure you can play your records however you like, but the combination of the clamp and the center spindle weight act to flatten the record against the table. ..if nothing else, that now flattened record enables your arm to g... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Upgrade I think I'd go with Sonofjim's advice. The 10.5 upgrade is not as urgent as the heavy platter and rim drive...both major improvements. | |
| 20amp cord Try using your system without the Richard Grey stuff...just listen and decide if it really should be in your system | |
| Bi Amp JM Lab 936's These pages are open for anyone to offer any advice, both good and bad - both in the quest of friendship, and also to be mean spirited. I stand by my statement as I posted above. I also encourage you to drop by the Vandersteen website as I said ab... | |
| New Stand config brings about new TT problems I would be much more willing to put a Linn on the wall than a VPI. |
