| Balanced cables I have an all Ayre system (with Vandersteen speakers). I’m hearing a kind of metallic sound from the system which I’d like to pin down. As I stated above, its totally balanced from cartridge/CD player through the amp. I even removed the tweeter an... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning ..just reading all these posts, and reflecting on my experience....I have a Nitty Gritty I got many years ago. I've used the cleaning machine to clean records maybe 10 records in about 10 years. In my experience, the little benefit is simply no... | |
| Better "Noise Cancelling" Headphones for Air Travel? Etymotic..... works well with the Iphone, etc. | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? Yes...it will make the B&W's sound better. Adjusted properly, the mids and highs will sound better, but the subs shouldn't be obvious at all. | |

| Headphones to Improve Upon AKG-Q701s Have you heard the Sennheiser HD 820? I don't own them but love their sound. Also....I think the amp driving any earphone contributes mightily to the ultimate performance. | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records I'm using an Ortofon Winfield/VPI 3D arm....my vinyl is as free of noise as my CD's. Careful setup is mandatory. | |
| VPI 3D arm The thing is.... the Classic metal 10 is a very fine sounding arm, but the 3D is in another league....If you decide on the 3D, for 150 dollars (which sounds like way too much for those cheesy bits)...the 2nd pivot brings it to an even higher perfo... | |
| Vandersteen Amp? remember too that these amps come with their perfectly voiced silver speaker cables. | |
| VPI 3D arm no....but it mates well with most anything. | |
