| Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ? And she hopes your bruised ego gets well soon. | |
| Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ? Dreadhead -I showed this thread to the wife. She says you need to get a life. | |
| Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ? Jmcgrogan -I would love a two arm table but .... the Sumiko is a reach that may not even happen $$$. Agree with everything you said. | |
| Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ? Honeyooi -I have read the reviews of the Delos. They are very good and I have considered it. The wife wants something that leans more smooth than detailed. I'm thinking the Sumiko can give us smooth (musical) with enough detail to be interesting. ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Good point by Whart on Whole Lotta Love. On the guitar switching channels back and forth it's as if someone is playing with the balance control. There's background noise switching back and forth also. That's masked by the usual murky pressings of ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl The post lady just dropped off I, II, and III. Listening to 1 right now. Pretty darn good! Balanced top to bottom, clear sound, good dynamics. | |
| Problem with CJ Phono Pre and Dynavector MKIIXX2 See my similar question in Analog under "SUT's carts and amps". With 55/57 dB gain we are screwed. It's subtle but, beautiful as that cart can sound on some music, the lack of dynamics and drive on rock/pop eventually wore me boringly down. I thin... | |
| Advice On The Mint Tractor Follow the included instructions.I find a 16x loop necessary to see the tip of the stylus contact point. The stylus must sit exactly in the target cross for any measurement.Patience.Persistence - "good enough" is not good enough.When the cantileve... | |
| Just Pulled The Trigger Opinions and preconceptions will not change the outcome. Your system, room and ear will determine that. I listen too critically to new gear and always find things don't meet expectations at first. I'm stressed over the possibility of buyers remors... | |

| Refined integrated for extremely neutral speakers? Seems natural that a pre-solid state speaker would want tube amplification. It was designed for it. | |
| Upgrade Tonearm for VPI Aries 3 Abill,On the VTF - no the extra .05 on the VTF doesn't audibly affect the tracking on my set-up. Within the range of the cart, the consensus seems to be that more VTF actually makes the cart track better. In my experience, mistracking is better cu... | |
| Upgrade Tonearm for VPI Aries 3 Abill,I understand. You may have guessed that I have recently, over the last year actually, added the XX2 and fought with the set-up of the arm to accommodate it. If you can improve the sound by getting the damping fluid correct then by all means ... | |
| Upgrade Tonearm for VPI Aries 3 Be careful with the damping fluid. True, removing most of it will liven things up but, at least on my arm, it also affected the treble. Noticeably the sound of cymbals became harsh. I filled the cup until the arm just contacted the fluid and it wa... | |
| Upgrade Tonearm for VPI Aries 3 My XX2 has close to 200 hours on it now. I have found setting the VTF at 2.0 and the loading at 100 Ohms to be helpful. Sometimes on the same album the sibilance can be fine on some tracks and exaggerated on others, regardless of the tracks locati... |
