| E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex Fjn: to add to the mystery. I thought the standard came with vc, but when standard mm/mc showed up, no vc. I thought vc was now standard as well; would have liked to have it, but not going to fuss with it (I should have clarified prior to purchase... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Sorry, I meant center clamp. I am thinking about grabbing the outer ring clamp, I agree, I think that will resolve the warped disc. | |
| E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex Fjn04: as far as the differences bwt the two, I spoke to two different salesmen at two different companies*. One said the main difference was a shiny chrome faceplate and a few hundred bucks and absolutely nothing else. The other said it was a com... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? Frogman, thanks for the extensive write up. It got me thinking about system add-ons. I would like to either grab a spare pre or another cartridge to change up the sound and the Herron sounds like a good place to start. But first the Raytheon's. | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Correct. With no mat, there is a 2 mm gap between the platter and vinyl so no vinyl touches the platter (excluding label). I think it sounds very good (not sure what it would sound like directly on the platter); however, I do not find the ring cla... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Case of a true Analog company operating in a Digital world eh;) | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? Thanks for the advice Frogman! I am researching the Telefunken but haven't found any NOS outside of ebay. Is there any place you recommend (not sure if you need to pm me).I was wondering about the mc/mm debate. For crude comparison, I tried the 10... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Hey guys, spoke with Jack at VPI - fun dude. I am a bit embarrassed here as Jack said the platters [now] have a rise in the center and the TT comes with a rubber mat that absolutely must be used. I clarified that the VPI manual recommends no mat s... | |
| E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex I did not do a lot of research on the deluxe vs std. Would be interesting. From reading post, I can see how others perceive preamps which are more analytical compared to the ear now that I am listening to it. Unfortunately it's a pain in the a*s f... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? Just purchased an ear834 with classic 1, dv10x5. The ear does not seem to be as in favor as it once was, but I liked having a tube in the signal line. I am sure there are better units, but the options to mod the EAR down the line is appeling to me... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Okay. That is odd. Instead of an inner label recession, the platter has ~ 0.5 mm uniform center label rise. It then appears VPI missed a QC check in the milling department. Coming up on 30 days of purchase. Hope this is not going to become an issu... | |
| E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex Just got mine. Can't say it's ho hum on this side,bit of an opposite experience for me. Sounds great: agree with all that has been posted on this one. Can't call it analytical, but did not want that sound. Good luck | |
| E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex Pbowne: Glad to see your response. Mine should arrive tomorrow. I have started to read up on modifications. Any you recommend (besides new tubes) that was worth the $/effort as a DIY? | |
| Thiel 3.7 Steveke, What Adcom do you have? I have an Adcom 5800 (2-ch) with a pair of Hales and really enjoyed the pair. However, it just did not have the bottom end. I planned to upgrade my speakers but changed out the Adcom for a McIntosh first. Really gl... | |
| Interesting analog experience I did the same to a friend that kept knocking my home brew. I switched caps on a few bottles of Oberon. After he consumed what he thought was mine, he said while it decent, it tasted like an amateur attempt. When he tried my beer (which he thought... |
