| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? If using no a/s you get abit of mistracking use a bit more vtf | |
| Constrained layer damping tape on toroidal transformer? I just got back my Ayre amp that the manufacturer updated/repaired. They put tape on the cooling finds and told me Ayre recommends it to reduce unwanted resonance. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Maxima95....my system is fully balanced XLR....totally interconnect Schroeder wired and love the way it sounds. | |
| High End SS Preamplifier Ayre, EMM Labs, ML, or Pass Another Ayre supporter......build, sound, support..all great | |
| Cartridge issues need suggestions I wouldn't put a hot iron on those pins......its a nice cartridge when working. Send it to Soundsmith for a look/see, and a serious opinion | |
| Spade termination for Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii If you need a horse, why look for a zebra. Richard's indication of spade is not only fine, but perfect. | |
| Looking for more transparency. Get good earphones and a dedicated amp...changing cables is similar to changing venues | |
| Help with speaker cable recommendations please If you're satisfied with the sound, don't drive yourself nutty and lighten your wallet on this merry go round | |
| Fixing a scratch in an otherwise good lp ..just buy another | |
| Headphone cable, what do you do? If you contact Cardas, Audioquest, Kimber, et al, they can make wire it to any length you need. | |
| What do you think of your Soundsmith Cartridge I agree with billstevenson......(but only the very top is better than the Winfield) | |
| The most important factor in soundstage imaging phonechick.......it ALL maters....but certainly toe in/out should be experimented with. | |
| Preamps Ayre is certainly not out of business. I just (a couple of days ago) got my V1 amp back .....I thought I heard a brightness in one channel of my 15 year old amp.... When I got it back, EVERYTHING about the sound was many ways better than the old... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) I am using Vandy 5A's and truth be told, my earphones are more detailed...though they don't have the depth, air, bass, etc. | |
| Acceptable speaker hum from integrated or sign of impending failure? Unacceptable to me. I can put my ear to my speaker with volume up and no hum at all. Send it back to the manufacturer |
