| DIf. between 12.6 and 12.7 vpi arm- The 12.7 wand is contoured differently then the 12.6. I doubt few could sonicly tell the difference given the same cartridge, properly set up. I suggest you go with either but insist that the rig be set up by a professional in your home. At HRX pr... | |
| ProAcs or B&W--Not hifi experienced, but luv music Try a used pair of ProAc 1sc's on good stands. They are the signature ProAc sound. I think you will like them and not consider any of the current ProAc's or B&W. I have ProAc 140's and 1sc's. The latter sound better then the 140's, you figure. | |

| New super plater for VPI Aries. I have an Aries 1, and this platter is much better then any of the frosted acrylic ones, according to many hi end reviews. I've considered the new super platter for only one reason: ability to use the ring. The new supper platter is 12 inches as t... | |
| Which "Kind of Blue". I'm so confused If you have a SACD player, go for the hybrid multi channel SACD. It has the three original mono tracks corrected for the problem that was in all the original vinyl and red book cds. It does not get any better for Blue then the multi channel SACD, ... | |

| Hardwood floors Sound treatments Headphones is the way to go. They have the highest acceptance factor with the wife, and the neighbors not to mention the cats. Save you money for the day you have the ability to build a dedicated listen room. For now put your money into the software. | |
| Who repair vintage turntables? Unless you can 'walk' a table in for repair it is not cost effective to repair. Even then, repairs are often worth the cost. Recently I had a quote of $650 to repair a Sony x700, assuming the parts could be found. Replacements do come along for ab... | |
| mac mini Why spend on the Benchmark when the Cayin iDAC-1 Vacuum Tube line amplifier will do the same thing, even better, at half the cost. No, I am not a Cayin dealer or distributor, just someone who likes the tube sound. | |
| Any Sonic Benefit Tri-Wire vs Bi-Wire vs Single ? In my experience, bi-wired will give you a slightly better sound. To get additional performance from you speakers, you need to go bi-amp. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Two + Wilson Sophia I What you are hearing is 'colored' sound. Tubes do that. Tube rolling is nothing more then looking for different colors. If you like the sound, that is all that matters. All life is colored. | |
| 2008 Stereophile Home Entertainment expo New York Rumor has it that given the significant costs increases in the CES, 2008 and 2009, most manufacturers are going to pass up on participation and financial support for local shows. Dealer's, even the big ones like Sound by Singer in New York City, h... | |
