| VPI balanced junction box installation The box is a bit tricky. It doesn't look like it does this, but the metal is actually U-shapped. You can get this off by removing the 2 chrome Phillips head screws. The whole box does not get removed...only the U-shaped metal that contains the jac... | |
| VPI rim drive new feet Sonofjim...Hi - actually, when I measured the new feet they are exactly the same size as the metal feet that came originally with the motor assembly..also, they fit exactly where the screw came out. It sounds as though the feet I got are a later v... | |
| Power Conditioning and PC for Bel Canto Gear I've tried lots of power conditions in my my system, and found none worth the cost...they all in one way or another ruined the sound. My advice.. test one for a couple of days, and then remove it from the system and re-evaluate the sound. Yes they... | |
| Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua Downunder..the reason I got a scoutmaster and not the HRX is because of the size requirement of the bigger turntable. I suspect that both the t/k or x/v would fit into your arm. If you already have a X/V, and just want to play with a different son... | |
| Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua The XV-1 is better...why waste time with the T/K | |
| Crunch time: headphones $150.... I use the Sen 650's in balanced mode with Headroom balanced amp and Cardas balanced cable...The best sound I've ever heard. | |
| lps sound bad Wow...this really sounds like the antithesis of what I hear. I just played the SACD version of Dark Side of the Moon, and then played the original vinyl version. They both have huge soundstages...yes they sound different...but I have to say that t... | |
| "House sound" of VPI, Clearaudio, Rega, MH, etc. Much of the worth of top tables is in the handling of them and how they appeal to your aesthetics. You could simply buy one that you seem to like now, or, drive or fly to a big city to actually handle and listen to them. In truth, if you pick VPI,... | |
| B&W Nautilus 804s and clipping Elizabeth...that's not true. The B&W's do have a reputation for tweeter troubles...and they are easy to repair. I had a 802 and went through 3 tweeter...they just delaminated. The tweeters were given to me no charge by B&W, but they would ... | |
| Cartridges for Grace 707 Yes - Grimace is correct. I was thinking of an ADC or Sonus, etc. | |
| is my room small for a pair of B&W 802's Some competing speaker brands are Vandersteen, Magnapan, Wilson, Theil, Dynaudio...and also be on the lookout for used speakers.... you can save quite a lot and get excellent sound. | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player ..by the way gentlemen, the Ayre C5xe is a single box player, and as I said before has to be used in balanced mode. I heard it set up this way with dcs and through Audio Research top electronics and Wilson Alexandrias. The results in the room were... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? ,,regarding the Ayre C5xe Universal player mentioned above... I have the unit, and it sounds its awsome best via the balanced outputs. The plastic tray is a non issue for me. It has been very reliable, and sounds great. | |
| Audiophile systems of awe. The best system I ever heard (that was many years ago, and I might have a different opinion now) Was a Decca London cartridge, in (I think) a Linn table, into Audio Research tube preamp, and Audio Research tube mono amps into Infinity Servo-Static... | |
| is my room small for a pair of B&W 802's If you haven't bought them, look at other speakers to compare cost to value. Our american dollar is worthless, and therefore British imports are VERY expensive for what you get. By all means, if the B&W's are your choice stick with it, however... |
