| Cartrige for Scout w/jw9 on my system? A Sumiko Pearl or a Clearaudio Aurum Classic would be good (budget) choices with the Bellari. Wait until you upgrade the Bellari before going to a moving coil cartridge (even a high-output mc). | |
| Anyone tried EH6550 tubes in a SF Power 2 amp? Did you end up putting the Cryo KT88EH's in your Power 2? How did you like them? I also own a Power 2, and currently use JJ KT88's.Cheers. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. A follow-up on this old thread of mine... I recently got a chance to see Michael Fremer's turntable setup video, and he came to the same conclusion as I did - that the mechanical anti-skating mechanism from VPI provides far too much force even at ... | |
| Can you help me transition to 2 channel audio? I agree that another room for 2 channel audio would be best. You might consider, for example, a Primaluna Prologue 1 integrated amp and Coincident Triumph Signature speakers. That will give a sound that is diametrically opposed to the sound you're... | |

| CD quality differences Experienced this recently while listening to "East West" by the Paul Butterfield Blues band. "Never Say No" is a markedly superior recording to the other tracks on this generally well-recorded album. | |
| VPI table owners, help please. I had a problem with hum when I first set up my Scoutmaster. I was using Transparent interconnects. I replaced them with AudioQuest Jaguar ($300/1m pr.) and got rid of the hum. I've had no complaints with the sound, either, but have not done any c... | |
| Text in CDs I remember that Pearl Jam's CDs, beginning with "No Code" if I remember correctly, all had text. Artist and Title were displayed on loading, and song titles display at the beginning of each song. Out of 2000 or so CD's in my collection, around 5% ... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? Dan_Ed, I saw this thread and got interested. What are some quality step-up transformers to run in front of the 834P? | |
| I could not believe it Welcome to the club. Anyone who thinks that CD performance, or even SACD/DVDA performance, can come close to vinyl is just off their rocker. The more vinyl you listen to, the harder it is to listen to CD. I still listen to CD, but usually because ... | |
| Different Anitskate for Rock vs. Classical I find it best to set the anti-skate right at the point where Roger Daltrey screams "Yeah!!!!" at the end of "Won't Get Fooled Again" on 'Who's Next' (forgot one, Audiofeil?). With patience you can get it just right, and you can feel Roger's chest... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Ben_Campbell, Some research leads me to believe that BS 1-3 was only released on vinyl in the UK. You are in the UK, correct? It appears to be quite collectable. A sealed copy sold for $250 on music-stack recently. If you come across one, let me ... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Was "Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3" ever released on vinyl?Thanks. | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? I, personally, would certainly include JWH among his masterpieces. A qualified masterpiece, though, because the last track, "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" sounds SO out of place on this album. It's a good song, but it always sounded to me like it did... | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... If you don't get Dylan, that's too bad. Over-rated? Surely you jest. Can't sing? Ask any artist who has tried to cover a Dylan song if he can't sing. They tell a much different story. Producing a pleasant tone with your voice isn't really the poin... |
