Well Tempered V's VPI Super Scout Master Sign
Don't bother. Moncrieff is an idiot, a leech and a vandal. When a company insisted that he return their component that he had kept for at least two years, he got all hissy and vandalized it before sending it back.  If he had been in the same count... 
How to reverse phase on a cartridge?
Some of you guys are confused about phase. There are two things:- out of phase (left adn right) and- inverted phaseIf left and right are reversed on one side, it causes an out of phase condition. One speaker is sucking-in while the the other is pu... 
Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs?
Hey JohnBrown, that's exactly what I was looking-for.Thanks. 
Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs?
Thanks for the info so far guys.I read some of the other threads where people were weighing-in on the relative quality of the various pressings you have mentioned above. Nothing like multiple versions to add some confusion to the mix!! 
US only sales WHY???
I'm always amazed at buyers in the US that are confused and shocked that there would be Duty on an item they are buying from or was manufactured in, a foreign country. Like, you have never traveled outside the US and had to fill out a Customs Decl... 
audio aero capitol reference - XLR or RCA ?
Casouza said: "There is too much confusion and WAY too much adoration of balanced connections in the high-end community."Right on.I have had a Capitole Reference and now use an Audio Aero Prestige SACD. For years I have been using a 30 foot Nirvan... 
Montreal Show?
Well, it wasn't a "yawner" but it was less well attended by manufacturers and distributors. This is not a surprise - the CES in Vegas this year was down hugely in attendance and exhibitors. It's just the way the Economy is going right now. Some of... 
Audio Aero and Accustic Arts
I have heard both and I disagree that the Accustic Arts combo is "much better" than the Audio Aero. Both are very good, and the real choice and expressed preferences may boil down to personal tastes.Many players like Accustic Arts have a reputatio... 
Audio Aero Prima - not responding
Just remeber that many companies were off to the CES in Vegas as early as Tuesday of last week. Many are just getting home now. That could account for the lack of replies to email and phone calls. 
NO CES Updates???
For Mapman:Well, ya, the CES puts on this show to promote the electronics industry, but if the weren't making a ton of money doing it, they'd stop doing it. When it comes to "Specialty Audio", Exhibitors have been complaining for years, no, almost... 
NO CES Updates???
Reading between the lines and the actual comments mentioning it, attendance at the CES was down noticeably this year. (around 110,000 instead of 141,000 last year) That's attendees (not exhibitors), and that's massive.The economy and the CES's hig... 
Power Conditioners Recommendations
I see that you are new, and looking for advice. Don't let people throw you-off with unhelpful and false advice....(roll of eyes)Which unit you get may depend on where you're going to use it and with what equipment. Filters are useful for keeping n... 
Just took delivery of the Red Wine Audio 30.2 and-
I have found that the Red Wine 30.2 is excellent in the bass and midrange, but it leaves something to be desired in the high frequencies. The highs are somewhat laid-back and lack extension. 
Has anybody listened to WLM speakers?
Since the last post here, Six moons has gone on to award the WLM Diva ( and other WLM speakers) with Blue Moon Awards. He has also given great reviews to the Made-in-USA Red Wine Audio 30 and 30.2 amps, as well as the Almarro tube amps, and he end... 
Just took delivery of the Red Wine Audio 30.2 and-
The Red Wine 30 and 30.2 are also a great match for the WLM speakers from Austria (98dB efficient!). Six Moons has awarded both companies, and endorses those as a match made in heaven.
