| Speaker Recommendation for Tube Fan Sardonyxx:Thanks for the Vandersteen suggestion - I did listen to these before I bought the Maggies but my local dealer at the time went out of business. I'm sure these will be a much better fit in my room than the Maggies.Thanks again.Jay | |
| VPI Aries w/SDS and Flywheel SetUp Question I also have the VPI Aries with SDS and added the flywheel later. I could never get the unit to sound right with the flywheel installed. Upgrading to the SDS made a huge improvement in the overall sound, but, IMHO, the flywheel didn't do any good. ... | |
| Mye Stands/Maggie 3.6's I just installed a pair of Grant's stands on my 3.5R's. I could not agree more with your comments - they are right on the money. These stands make one hell of a gigantic improvment in the performance of my 3.5R's. If you have a pair of maggies, yo... | |
| ConradJohnson: Tubes or S/State for Maggies. I used a cj MF2300 MOSFET amp on my Maggie 3.5r's for seven years before switching late last year to a pair cj premier 12's. I agree with Steelhead above - tubes are where it's at. You may suffer somewhat in dynamics, but, for my money too, the tu... | |
| Maggie 3.6 amplification concern I am currently using a pair of Maggie 3.5R's driven by a pair of conrad-johnson premier 12 mono's (140WPC - bi-wired) and conrad-johnson premier 17LS preamp. This setup sounds wonderful - great bass, air, and resolution. I previously was using a c... | |
| High end vs internet It seems real clear that the market is changing with the advent of home theater and all the associated stuff that goes with it. I just bought a new piece of audio gear (FM tuner) from my local high-end dealer. When I ordered this piece, I was shoc... | |
| Trans-rotor Lenardo - Anyone give a listen? I agree with Twl about the acrylic base. I owned an Oracle Delphi I (upgraded to II) for twenty years and replaced it two years ago with a VPI Aries/JMW10 combo and was blown out of the water by the VPI base response. No comparison. The VPI was so... | |
| CJ Premier 15 & 17LS Tube Suggestions Thanks for your info Groundsource. I have replaced all the tubes in my premier 17LS and 15 with NOS tubes from Kevin at Upscale Audio. The 17LS tubes are quality Sovtek 6922's (not the same as the stock Sovtek's that are included with the 17LS). T... | |
| Buying a used Oracle Delphi Mk_ ? I owned the original Oracle Delphi MK1 (upgraded to the MK2) for over 20 years and just recently sold the whole setup. In my honest opinion, I think you can do a whole lot better than a used Oracle. While this table was good, I cold never quite ge... | |
| Turntable suggestions? If you can swing it, I would highly recommend the VPI Aries w/JMW arm. This is an unbeatable combination in this price range. You should be able to pick up this combo used for the money you are talking about. I have been using this table and arm f... | |
| VPI Flywheel with Aries Turntable - Help Thanks all for your suggestions. They have been very helpful. As of now I have tried the following: grounding the flywheel to the AC outlet ground screw (no change); grounding the tonearm to my phono preamp (c-j premier 15) (no change); install ne... |
