| headphones: $200 Go to Headphone.com I got their top of the line balanced amp and Sennheiser 650's with rewired Cardas cable, and the sound is jaw dropping. Read all aspects of the website, call them with questions, and you too will smile | |
| Thiel cs 3.6 I wouldn't do it. ...or send them back to Theil for a real close inspection and repair any faults. | |
| Wilson sophia typically found with solid state Just for complete disclosure....I don't like the less expensive Wilson products..I think they are overpriced and use gimmics to impress the listener (out of phase midranges, bumped highs, etc) however, they do sound the best with lots of power. It... | |
| B&W 802 Matrix Series 3 tweeter replacement help? My experience with B&W is that they have great support. I blew my tweeter on my 802 years after the guarantee was up, and they just sent me another. | |
| setting azimuth on VPI turntables In fairness...I checked my settings that was done with the rod as I mentioned above, and then checked again with my newly acquired DVM, and found that my original settings were good as is. If you are very careful, it is possible to do it correctly... | |
| SOTA vacuum or no? Here's a friendly hint for using the VPI periphery clamp - if you do it, you will never take out a cartridge. When taking the periphery clamp off of the record, simply put it over your head and wear it as a necklace until the record is turned over... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Isn't it incredible how much money our little group has spent on just the turntables. Don't forget the amps, preamps, speakers, cables, tuners, tape decks, cartridges, arms, tubes, power conditioners, Record Cleaning Machines, resonance control de... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned You just reminded me about the Denon and the Harmon-Kardon with the straight line tracking arm.. I bet more to come | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned OOPS - I forgot SOTA Saphire, and SOTA Cosmos - more will come to me | |
| SOTA vacuum or no? I have a Superscoutmaster and even aside from the sound improvement, I think that flattening a record is extremely worthwhile. A flat record permits the arm to travel across the record effortlessly. The quieter the arm movement, the less the cartr... | |
| compare VPI Aries & TNT SM to Nottingham 294 Tiger - I have a Superscout and gee whiz, the lows are so clean, extended and natural, I just wonder how it could be better. You can follow string bass and other low instruments effortlessly with complete recognition of proper or improper pitch. M... | |
| Scout Owners: How Much Cartridge? Dodgealum...da better da cartridge, da better da sound. The VPI tables at any level are way overachievers. Don't be afraid to use the very best cartridge you can give it. Personally, I never had much luck with the Cartridge Man Isolator. Use the c... | |
| Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable. Jloveys...you're stuck with it. Purist has in the past ran specials - I think they took their Colossus Series one for series 2. The upgrade was quite expensive though. I would say that only Audiogon would be a good place to get rid of it. | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? I have all Ayre equipment. Personally, I hate MBL..sounds like a German tank...heavy with no finesse. | |
| Ayre K1X vs K1Xe I too have changed from an Ayre K1 to the xe. You really HAVE to do it. |
