| Fosgate Signature Phono V1 Preamplifier I use a Foz V2. Like everything audio, the tube/cable tweaks are a subjective, YMMV thing.The manual states V3 makes the most sonic change. After trying tubes in the other positions, I too agree it's the only position worth experimenting with. Wh... | |
| Speakers or room room/speaker positioning with good speakers are better than great speakers,less than ideal positioning and bad room setup. | |
| Looking for Speakers circa 2K If I were looking in your price range, I would have these on my list.https://www.musicdirect.com/speakers/ELAC-Adante-AS-61-Bookshelf-Speakers. With the stands, seems like a nice deal.The open box deal is particularly appealing. These were the fla... | |
| Settings For pro-ject Tubebox DS https://www.project-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Manual_Tube-Box-DS2.pdfWhat's not clear?I had a P5 years ago. Fun table stock, better with a couple mods.Exact cartridge uses the lowest gain setting- 47K loading. Pretty much the go to set... | |
| Which tubes is better. Siemens or Telefunken? Wow! time marches on...This is an 18 year old thread. | |
| Kiseki Purpleheart "Disturbing to hear about those quality issues."big_greg-I typically have good luck with gear. Likely, no real concern in your case.The KB does have subtle refinement compared the the ART9 overall-particularly the mids/highs. It should, being 2X ... | |
| Merry Christmas! Can everyone forget about their cables,tweaks and what's "best" at least for a day, and enjoy their family/friends? Merry Chirstmas.Looking forward to a new year of audio nervosa. | |
| Kiseki Purpleheart I've used the Kiseki Blue on my VPI. Nice cart. Questionable durability though- I went through 2 of them. 1st one the stylus fell off. 2nd -left channel problem not covered by warranty.SS Voice ES is worth investigation. I used the entry level Ote... | |
| Grading of phono cartridges Part 3 Quite a list here.I'd like to hear what a "98" sounds like. No Soundsmith Strain Gauge or Hyperion? Or did I miss part I or II? | |
| INNER GROOVE DISTORTION I would contact SS. Since Peter makes the cart, and knows a thing or two about VPI, he would be the only person I would listen to. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Not a disbeliever OR a believer. I like posting this link link now and then when this subject on speaker cable pops up. Food for thought. http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#conditioner | |
| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 "No I haven’t made the leap yet. I’m going to listen to dodgealum’s TT and then decide if I want to purchase his or the Upscale Audio one."I see it has the different arm. Not familiar with the ML arm,but i'm guessing a take in the VPI gimbal? I'm ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation Here's some insighthttp://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#introductionIf anything, it's good to read as much as possible before opening the wallet | |
| The Who (Deluxe) Long time Who fan.I wasn't aware of a recent release, but quick research indicates supporting musicians-Zak Starkey and Pino Palladino on the album,suggest solid performance. Roger and Pete wouldn't allow hack,sub par players to participate.I'm to... | |
| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 Thought I would drop in to report i'm enjoying my second ART9 on my VPI.A little over a week old, and about a dozen album sides in. Perhaps lacking the slightest bit of upper end refinement of my prior $2K+ Kiseki had.The OCD/nervosa alignment ch... |
