| a great take on big$ cables All I can say is if you agree with everything said by Mr. Russell there is no reason for you to continue visiting Audiogon. This goes against everything audiophiles strive for. I can't definitively prove he's wrong, but there are an awful large nu... | |
| Recommendations to "Professional" Reviewers? What I would like to see is a list of NOT Recommended components. Too many times reviewers mention they're listening to something but the review never appears. In a few cases it got out the component was a dog but there was no official "bad" revie... | |
| Recommended cartridge weight for VPI Scoutmaster You should check the VPI web site, I found the following in the "What's new" section. "Available for better compatibility with the light low compliance cartridges being made today are 3 gram stainless steel cartridge weights. Cost is $15.00 retail" | |
| Troika with love but bent cantileaver HELP Just to add one thing to Bignerd100's comment, make sure you align the cantilever on the alignment gage. Normally you use the cartridge body (because it is easier to see) but in this case you know the cantilever is not in alignment with the body. | |
| Meditative Music for Quiet Concentration Perhaps some ambient music such as that done by Brian Eno or a host of others whose names I can't recall. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Belt...Is Your's Still Going??????? Thanks Toudou, that's essentially the same gap as on my Aries. | |
| Any XTC fans? They've been on my A list for a long time. My favorite is English Settlement with Skylarking a close second. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Belt...Is Your's Still Going??????? After having an HW-19 for about 20 years I just got an Aries Extended. While I have very little time on it one thing that has baffled me is belt tensioning. The motor assembly can be positioned anywhere you want so you could have very light tensio... | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded Richard Thompson has a number of great sounding albums. From the rock perspective Shoot out the Lights is highly regarded. From the folk perspective (perhaps a bit of a stretch) I think Rumor and Sigh is his best album. | |
| Audio Research D125 - help re problem Not sure if this will help, but perhaps there is a very small crack/break in a circuit trace or the tube socket that is open when cool and closes when warmed up. Not sure if this would cause a tube to blow but there seems to be a correlation to te... | |
| Denver Audio Show photos Albert, you clean up every photo? That's what I call dedication. You are a professional! Can't wait to see them. | |
| Audio Research PH3 service, upgrades Agree with what Jafox recommends and I would add that if the unit has not been powered up for several months/years the cheapest insurance is to power it up slowly using a Variac. The advice I got was to start at 10% voltage (i.e. 12 VAC) and incre... | |
| help w/ an old pair of Goetz speakers I had a pair of these and was I glad to get rid of them! I know Mr. Goetz lived in the Atlanta area about 20 years ago because I bought mine from him. I've seen a few references to him since then but nothing in the last five years or so. As I reca... | |
| Best SACD-CD Player under $1000? If you don't mind buying used the Phillips 963SA is real nice sounding player in the $200 to $300 range. This unit has been out of production for more than a year so I doubt you will find a leftover, but you never know. I have one and have been ve... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? As Ellery911 points out Duanea has another thread asking if he should buy the W/P 6. In actuality he has not one but two threads asking if he should buy the W/P 6. One is on the same day as this thread! The other is from last November. Going furth... |
