| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @jetson I swapped out a few phono preamps recently: Zesto Andros to ARC PH6 to Whest PS.30RDT SE+ (the Whest was the keeper for me). These phonos all sounded vastly different and in my case I liked the clarity and lower noise of the Whest. One thi... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart The VPI feet do not seem to be very good. Many people prefer to place VPI tables on Stillpoint cones or Bear Claws and remove the VPI feet.True enough! I replaced the rubber inserts on my Classic 3 with Symposium inserts and added a Symposium Segu... | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I use the VPI ring clamp with my Classic 3. It does seem to help flatten out slightly warped records but honestly I don't hear much of a difference with it. It's also a PITA to get installed correctly on some records as it can slip off an edge. I'... | |
| Speaker Cables for Magico I use Siltech 550L with my Magico S1's. They sound great together.Todd | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? @o_holter I too had reduced my woofer pumping with each of the following steps:1. Cartridge setup tweaked by my VPI dealer2. Replaced my cartridge3. Added a Symposium Seque ISO platform4. Added Symposium VPI footers5. Added a custom 2" walnut plat... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? @o_holter - You mentioned earlier in the thread about an XLR filter. I was struggling with the same woofer pumping problem and finally commissioned Dan Satoni at DTS electronics to build a custom balanced high pass filter for me. Problem solved wi... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! I currently have a loaner pair of Teo Splash Rs between my ARC PH6 phono and ARC Ref2 MkII preamp. They sound amazing in my system. Now I just need to talk wifey into buying them for an early Christmas present...Add me to the list of Teo supporter... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes Rob, thanks for the update. I'm sticking with the Amperex/Mullard config for now.One update to mention: The 2dB observed increase in gain might have been due to the Brimar's being weak. I installed them as NOS about a year ago but when I pulled th... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes Installed the NOS Military Mullards in V2/V3, Amperex still installed in V1/V4.At first I couldn't hear a difference between the Mullards and the Brimars. I did notice a slight loss of that Amperex 3D magic. After about 3 hours of play, the Mullar... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes Answering my own question:Front Left = V1 = Left OutputRear Left = V2 = Left InputRear Right = V3 = Right InputFront Right = V4 = Right OutputI started tube rolling last night. I have been listening to a set of NOS Brimar's for about a year. They ... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes @RoblangerReviving an old thread. Did you ever find out the tube layout for the Andros? I'm using NOS 1960's Brimar's with good performance, but the bass is a little loose and I wanted to try something else. It would be cool if I could try to swap... |
