| Looking for guidance with older VPI HW-19 tables This is all good advice and as a current HW19jr owner, I orginally purchased the table with the intent of upgrading over time. Since I have neither the skills or time to perform these upgrades today, can anyone tell me who still is modifying them/... | |
| Used Pre-amp advise please.... Not sure what you were looking at with the CJ pre-amps. But I have a PV10a and it has a replacable powercord. Great support from the folks at CJ as well. I've been happy with mine for several years. I also have 805's and a McCormack DNA-1 deluxe a... | |
| Tube Testers. Which to buy and where? Cadet1,I'm looking for a tube testor as well. Especially for 12AX's and 12AU's. I'll help you get it out of your garage. What do you want for it? | |
| Best Pre-amp for the McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Eagleman,Weren't you having some problems with a speaker humm do to your TAD?? I think the last response I read was that you were sending it back to B-Bee for repair Did that ever get resolved?? | |
| Best Pre-amp for the McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Well, I've been searching the threads and I've seen a lot of good things about Rogue audio's "99" with Phono Stage (important, since I don't want to purchase a separate phono amp). Would this really be that big of a jump in overall sound quality o... | |
| VPI HW-19 Jr. Upgrade I also have a HW-19 Jr. and have considered similar paths (it was the reason I bought the VPI instead of Rega). I would additionally be interested in the sonic difference (i.e. improvement) these upgrades would provide, because the current Hw-19 j... | |
| Vinyl pressing mistakes I have a mis-labeled Arista Grateful Dead - Histroic Dead album with an Alan Parson's Project label on sides 3/4 of the album (vinyl pressing is still GD). My Goldmine's book doesn't recognize the error, but I still think it is worth something extra. | |
| Best budget table? I recently upgraded from my old 70's Pioneer TT as well. I decided on the VPI HW19 series. I recently purchased the Jr. model (with Natural Oak base) and will upgrade as funds are available. It made a big difference in the sound and I'm very happy... | |
| Headphone Amp Question not a HD600/RS-1 debate Some good information from you guys, but I was hoping to get some more suggestions or a discussion on how critical a good amp is for headphones?? | |
| More Amplification?? Need Help It doesn't look like my last post got submitted.Well, I think I solved my own problem. I dug up a Grado Blue Cartridge and put it on the AudioQuest Arm and now the sound is MUCH MUCH better. It was the old Ortofon SL 15Q Cartridge. The CJ PV10 by ... | |
| Zap Sound out of Speakers when Powering Off Thanks everyone for all your help. I'm still getting the "zipping" sound out of the right channel of the amp on Powerdown, no matter what I do (including the tube rolling) so I'll be calling Steve. Actually, that is one of the reason's I bought a ... | |
| Zap Sound out of Speakers when Powering Off Well, I'm at home now and I'v had just the amp powered on for almost 1 hour (and nothing else - per Kr4 suggestion). NOTHING!! Pure silent blissful darkness. Good, it's not the speakers and it's not the amp. That leave ole' Connie J in the hot sea... | |
| Zap Sound out of Speakers when Powering Off Last night I switched speakers and the high pitched noise continued, so it definately isn't the speakers.Additionally, I got the same "Poping Static" sound when shutting down the units with the other speakers. This is definately a amp/pre-amp issu... | |
| Headphone I can stand for more than 1 hour I have the Senn 590's and they are very light and comfortable. I've read several other threads which indicate the 570/590's are more comfortable then the 580/600's line, but I only had the 600's on for a short demo, so I can't really comment more ... | |
| Tweeter cone on my B&W 805 Naut's is pushed in Thanks guys, all joking aside, the "sucking" worked and although it has crease marks, it is now in the proper position. Upon closer inspection the front tweeter assembly looks like it has a hair line crack in the top and bottom plastic which rims ... |
