| Vandersteen 5A dynamics and bass response. Ruxtonvet, thats a very nice room. I have 5As that are in a 17'w x 10'h x 27'long room so you do have some extra volume but I think I would be happy if my room was the same size as yours.Recent changes in my system, adding a ARC Ref 5 linestage an... | |
| Shorter belt for TW-Acustic Raven AC-1 I don't know how limited you are... My AC-1 is in a cabinet and I have to set things up at an angle. In talking to Jeff at High Water Sound he said the motor could be put anywhere around the table; behind, front or to the right depending where the... | |
| What phono preamps are balanced ARC Ref 2 is fully balanced input to output it just has RCA connectors for the input since that is what most people will have. I bet one could special order XLRs for one or both inputs. Either way, electrically, the positive and negative of each c... | |
| Tips for cleaning Zyx airy 3 Do the search on the Mr clean Magic Eraser, once you understand that its a bit like plastic "steel wool" its hard to figure what else would work as well.Been using ME for over 3 years on ZYX universe.Have not used the Zero dust for months.Terry | |
| Graham Phantom on TW Acustic Raven? Gerrym5, I have a triplanar on my AC-1 but arm board tips should apply to most applications.I broke down my setup, removing the arm board, last weekend to experiment with isolation items under the table. Setting things back up was a snap - though ... | |

| Which amp to match Thiel 3.5 - Ayre, Bryston, CJ? Sancho22, nice speakers! I had a pair soon after their release. Small budget then. I first had a Haffler 200, just OK. Later upgraded to a CJ MF200 in the late 80s and it was much better. I would think any CJ (non-tube) would be great. The 3.5s ar... | |
| Alternative to HT Bypass? I did the same thing with Pass Aleph 2 monos which had single ended and xlr inputs. Worked great for me. The only thing one may have to check out is that the two inputs are elecrically separate.Good idea. | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Samual, I think your posts have been very professional. Thanks.Terry | |
| Who has heard the new ARC ref 2 phono? What is the price?BTW it uses FETs for additional gain in the max setting.I am interested!TD | |
| Setup CD + SPL for Vandersteen Quatro Art, I use the Stereophile disk above and RS meter to adjust my 5As. Can take a couple hours (first time) but its not that hard.I heard both that Vandersteen had a special disk to match the EQ bands and that it was just a just 1/3 octive print lik... | |
| What power cord are TW Acustic TT owners using? I agree with both responses above. I have had my Raven AC for 9 months and I did not know that it came with out a power cord when I got it. I used a basic cord I had around. Three months ago i made my own with quality 14 gage wire and Wattgate con... | |
| long RCA cables . . .where? Long cables from the MC preamp to other preamp. There is no other choice. | |
| Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program? Audiotomb, I am with you. I use the Feickert protractor and the mintlp protractor. The Feickert does a great job on the tone arm spindle to pivot setting and then the mintlp is great at tweeking the overhang to get the over all setting right on.Th... | |
| vandersteen quatro with Naim ??? I don't think it will work, you need to get an unbalanced crossover with RCA connections. The XLR balanced crossover is different inside from the RCA unbalanced crossover for the Quattro/5A since it needs to work for both signals of a balanced sys... |
