| Rubber Washer VPI Scout Actually, I never used the standard VPI clamp; I used either the TNT weight, the TTW weight or one of the TTW clamps. I still don't understand how having a washer under the record will give a tighter contact than having the record flat on the plat... | |
| subs for Sonus Faber Cremona M floor standing I use 2 REL Stadium subs with my Gamut L5s, which are similar in size and frequency response to the SFs. I was looking for a pair of Cremonas myself before I got a great deal on the Gamuts. The JL is suppose to be very good also but I haven't hear... | |
| Standmount speaker... Cardas Method or manual There is not one method that is best for all rooms and speakers. For example my Spendor S 100s sound best angled in so they cross ahead of the listener; this is the factory recommended setting. My Gamut L5s sound better pointed straight ahead; aga... | |
| Rubber Washer VPI Scout I would try it without the washer; I thought it made better contact with the platter that way anyway. | |
| C7 - two prong Power Cord make a difference ? I would get an adapter myself; Voodoo and Pangea make good ones for most uses. I have a Voodoo 15 to 20 amp and a Pangea C5 to standard PC and both work well. | |
| Would a Linn Majik-I work in Europe You might consider a step down transformer if it does not. Does the manual have anything on whether it is switchable? I would think there is a good chance it is as it was designed for 220 -240 originally. | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used I use to be a Sumiko dealer in the 1980s and early 90s and they were great to deal with; that was then, this is now. When I called them to get the thread size for spikes for a REL sub the told me to call a dealer; not only are they the importers B... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? This might also indicate a large degree of variation between different units; this is not unheard of , especially among new companies. | |
| Using a DD table as motor to drive another table Rube Goldberg rides again! As Harv says it will still be belt drive and the SME has a very good belt drive already. I have seen this done but usually using a much more massive belt driven platter as a flywheel to drive a second platter by a second... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I started with Dynaco tubes in 1962; they are still good especially if upgraded with modern parts. Why Quicksilver isn't more popular is a mystery to me; it is very good quality at a reasonable price. They often appear on here at good prices; buy ... | |
| Need advice: Biamping vs. dual bridged monos Bridging reduces the ability to drive low impedance loads; there should be material on this in the archives. If this is not a problem try it both ways and see for yourself. I used Y connectors when I bi amped with no problem or you could have anot... | |
| High Output MC vs Low Output MC Denon 304, AT 33 EV, AT OC9, Denon 103. I have used all these as well as a 160 and they are all considerably better. The 103 needs a fairly high mass arm ; the others work with most arms. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? My memories of the Dyna 120: BANG! Blew up all the time; warranty repairs drove Dynaco out of business. I remember them more from the middle 60s. I had an SAE but my Quad 303 was a better amp. | |
| CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e I have some CDs that already sound like Do Do. LOL | |
| DAC as preamp w/subwoofer Since you need separate outputs I assume you are not running your signal through the sub; even if your sub does not have a high level input, that is one driven from the amp speaker terminals, you can have a network built that lowers high level sig... |
