| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres JazdocDid you listen to a Redpoint? Any thoughts vs the tables in this thread or the Raven?Thanks, Terry | |
| Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster? Picked up a SDS a few months ago. The positive impact was easily heard right away with my Aries II.I must say that I was some what doubtful since I had already bought a Super Platter and thought that the more than doubling of platter weight would ... | |
| Tri Planar / ZYX Universe soundstaging Atmasphere, could you elaborate more on how this similar to imaging from analog tape. I assume you are refering to master tapes?Thanks Terry | |
| Tri Planar / ZYX Universe soundstaging Thank you Doug, this is new and interesting. BTW I run Vandy 5As which I think highlight this effect to some degree wth their first order xovers. | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs. B&W 802D vs. Maggie 3.6 vs.? I have reset up my 5As a couple times with a Stereophile test disk (1/3 octive bands) and a Radio Shack meter. A little time consuming but its not that hard. Trick is to run through the adjustments a couple times to smooth out the overlaping inter... | |
| VPI Super Platter Installation Its easy. But I had to buy a new adjustable wrench, 12" I think, to fit the large nut on the bottom. I also had to wrap some tape around the bearing cylinder. There was a fair amount of play with it and the hole in the plinth.TD | |
| VPI Super Platter I researched this lot. While I have not heard he Aries 1 platter on my aries II, I get the idea that sonically there may not be much difference as stand alone platters. Different materials are used so I assume there would be a slight diff? But I h... | |
| VPI Aries 3 upgrade advice Another vote for the super platter first. I have it and the ring. For me the platter has much more sonic impact.But I do use the ring, 97% of the time, to give my stylist a nice smooth ride which is no small consideration if you have a lot investe... | |
| Balanced Phono question - forgive my ignorance I am using the Ayre P-5x phono pre which has balanced and single ended inputs. I use the balanced inputs with a custom made Audioquest Cheeta cables that have RCA connectors on the side that plugs into the VPI Aries (VPI did not have a xlr connect... | |
| Ayre P-5xe... I agree wih Analogtroll. This is an excellent value used. I use the ballanced in and outs with the bal in using a custom AQ Cheeta rca to xlr cable. The bal in provides up to 70db gain which works well with my .24mv ZYX Uuniverse.Shane Buettner wr... | |
| is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade? The above post origionally stated: Yes the new super platter is worth it. | |
| is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade? I hate to say that because I felt like a chump shelling out for the price of the thing.I posted my experience on another thread.TD | |
| ARC REF2 5AR4 arcing on warmup About a year and half ago I turned off my Ref2 MkII and turn back on in just a couple seconds. I heard a funny arcing noise and could see the 5AR4 tube going into spasims. I would describe it as a medium arcing event, but...It made a fuss right af... | |
| vandersteen 5a question I was pleased to find my M5HPs with AQ Cheeta tails. The cables I had. The dealer knew that but I never heard that they "custom" made the filters.Mine are balanced, so I was less concerned about what tail I got.TD | |
| Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies I just went through a sub search and purchase. You need to cross over your 3A/V2Q system to enough HT sub. You can determine if another V2W will do it or if a beefier sub is needed.I have 5As and one of the 5A "subs" has bottomed out once during a... |
