| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Think of the different types of weed like alcohol. They each have their signature buzz. Beer, wine liquor and all the variants in each category are similar in effect but have a different mood associated with them. The effect on music is universal ... | |
| McIntosh C22 Unsolved Problem - for techs/smart guys/EEs Definitely a bad connection somewhere. I have seen similar symptoms with cracked circuit board traces, cold solder, bad switches and dirty volume pots. If the Mac has circuit boards (not hard wired/discreet) my money would go on a cracked trace or... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Rumor Control - there is no nicotine in cannabis. I'm 62 and retired with a medical cannabis card. In that light it is a wonderful drug. It cures many symptoms of old age including but not limited to insomnia, libido and, of course, it definite... | |
| Options to inspect a cartridge from below - mirrored loope, endoscope? My Adonstar came several attachments including a 45 degree mirror that snaps on the end. It's a great tool. The link is to photos I posted at the VPI forum.Amazon has several identical products branded under various names other than Adonstar. ... | |
| Options to inspect a cartridge from below - mirrored loope, endoscope? I use the Adonstar USB microscope. Under $60 on Ebay. It works with both PC and Mac (plug-n-play with Photobooth). Search 2MB USB digital microscope http://vpiindustries.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7189 | |
| New Room (from House to Apt) advice wanted on minimizing complaints I find the bass penetrates the wall (drywall construction) with our neighbors much more easily than the mids or treble. Speakers and subs on the wall away from the neighbor might be a better idea. | |
| Why do you give bad advice? Questions are sometimes vague because they don’t know what they want or don’t want, aren’t sure of what quality they’ve got, have no big picture, suffer under a lifetime of misinformation and assumptions, and place logic before experience. OK thos... | |
| How much bearing oil? geirbirk -I can't speak for that specific table but when I finally replaced the bearing oil in my VPI after too many years, the platter stopped after one-and-a-half turns instead of one-half a turn. The motor probably runs cooler now. There was... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade What I am hearing is better quality bass in the 3A Sig for rock music. What I hear from the Treo is better mids but a small ported driver that fails miserably on rock music. Not because it lacks low end. It doesn't. It thuds quite loudly. Bel... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade To my ears the Treos are a step forward in the mids and a step backward in the bass (from the 3A sig). I really wanted to like the Treos but the bass is unacceptable. Since the cure is sub woofers (or Quatros at twice the price) I’ll keep my 3A Si... | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? Having my vintage JMW tone arm and junction box rewired with Nordost Valhalla 2. The cost for labor, wire and return shipping from VPI? $150. The improvement over the original Discovery wire? Phenomenal. I laughed out loud. | |

| Nordost Odin or Valhalla 2 bo1972 -You said: "When Odin is used at shows, I always say: we will have about 1 metre of depth. In almost all situations this is the outcome."Your bias against Nordost makes you look for and expect a bad result in the product while dismissing th... |
