JC3+ Anyone?
"Robert,The reason for only one XLR input is that the B2B-1 becomes a fully balanced amplifier when using the XLR inputs, and setting internal jumpers accordingly.Running it in this mode will of course require two for a stereo setup, however in my... 
JC3+ Anyone?
"Have you checked out the Liberty B2B-1"It was on my list. Only one XLR rules it out as I am not going to buy two. I do like your use of FETs. Been a fan of FETs for years. Had a Sony TA-1130 with MOSFET output devices.I also like the way the JC3+... 
Dynavector 20xH - Boring Presentation?
"Thank you all for the suggestions. I did go ahead and buy Rega RP6 with a Shelter 501, an amazing combination. The PSU great on the RP6. Still breaking in the cart and the table."Interesting as the Shelter 501II is boring to me. I have a 20XH in ... 
SMARTractor Anyone?
I am familiar with the Mint. I have part of one that I bought but did not use on my Scoutmaster. Lost part of it in my last move.The problem with the Mint is having to order one for every turntable. I have several tables and hopefully will someday... 
SME 309 Headshell Postition
"Gonna try that now."Did that and I think it is in the same place but that's ok. I apparently got the azimuth better because the vocals are smoother without loosing any detail. I did verify the alignment is ok. I may tweak it a bit this weekend or...

In the 2k-4k range US $, I would listen to the Kleos if I was you.Robert A. OberPS: 'Course it's what I have and like the fact that it gets the body of the instrument and the detail. 
SME 309 Headshell Postition
"Push the headshell in and hold it in that position with one hand then with your other hand put the bolt in and tighten it down,once this is done you can release the headshell and you are ready to go!"Yep, that's close to what I have done but I am...

SMARTractor Anyone?
Mine is the Uni and has various templates designed for specific arms.Thanks Albert,As you now probably realize, yours is the more expensive one that came first.My Kleos/SME 309 did not track well with Brakemeier's Uni alignment so I used the cheap... 
SMARTractor Anyone?
I have one along with several set up templates. Excellent product.Templates? It has multiple alignment grids.Have you tried the Uni alignment? On mine when I tighten the screw the lines do not line up exactly. I need to call Vana.Thanks,Robert

Nobody but me?

Hello,Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the manual is not specific. Once the headshell is pushed in, one cannot see the slot can one?Thanks Again,Robert 
Best cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Signature
Add Lyra Delos and Kleos to the list. I mounted a Lyra Kleos on my tricked-out VPI Classic (reg 1/2 plinth and Classic 3 tonearm). Phenominal performing combo. They seem to work on the longer heavier VPI arms, but my Kleos had pretty noticeable si... 
JPS Superconductor Q
Hey,Yes, I did try them in my system. After listening to the Q's for half a day or more, I put the Cross back in. I then put the HERO back in. HERO w/WBT rca's is definately week on the bottom in compared to the other two. It is the most detailed ... 
JPS Superconductor Q
So, the Q seems neutral but may be a bit thin in the mids. Comparing to Cardas Cross which is a bit too soft and my HERO w/WBT rca's which is a bit bright. I am thinking I need to try Neutral Reference and Golden Presence.Ideas?Thanks,Robert A. Ober
