| Anyone tried Soundsmith VPI Zephyr MI Cartridge Bshapperd, am I correct in assuming that the Simaudio Moon is your current phono pre?? Notwithstanding whether it is or isn't, I own the Zephyr - as I've already mentioned above and am pleased with its performance on my VPI Classic. It's output is... | |
| What a better pre-amp Arc Ls-27 or Ref-3 Gary (Hifigeek), please explain how the Ref 3 can be updated?? Is the update ARC approved? I ask because a friend who bought my Ref 3 might be interested. Thanks. | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC You may want to call Calvin at ARC. He might have some practical solutions. I mention in passing that the SP-8 is a bit dated. If you love your amp, may be you should switch out the pre. I am not suggesting that you get rid of the amp and keep the... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Me too Lew!! | |
| SoundSmith VPI Zephyr vs. AT-OC9 Yes. The DV 20X2 is my backup carty. The Zephyr my primary. So I guess that tells you which one I think sounds best. | |
| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions Hey guys. I own a Classic. If you check my threads, I also exerienced setup nightmares with a number of carties. I ultimately settled on a DV 20X2 and a VPI Zephyr. Whenever I switch them out, e.g., for a retip, I can do the set up of the other in... | |
| More delays on ARC Ref 5 Upgrade Hey Bombay . . ., you may be right! Do you think I should discuss the problem with my wife? I'm sure she will give me a balanced view [sic]. | |
| More delays on ARC Ref 5 Upgrade Keith, is your comment about a Ref 6 a facitious quip or something you actually heard? | |
| More delays on ARC Ref 5 Upgrade Spoke to Cal yesterday, now September/October. | |
| Audio experts help Decibel output. Thanks Al. If I understand your post, presumably, the FR of each speaker hooked up in series will NOT change. Instead, the resistance at any particular frequency will double. I guess I'm still a bit confused because if, for example, a speaker's ph... | |
| SoundSmith VPI Zephyr vs. AT-OC9 Hi guys, if the question goes to which carty sounds better on a VPI JMW arm, give Mike at VPI a call. He'll give you good advice. I use the Zephyr on my Classic. As I have mentioned many times before in other threads, IME, it's very compatible and... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s Arthur, Kevin Deal at Upscale just sourced a whole bunch of SED 6550 C tubes. Just bought one for my ARC Ref 5 linestage. Seems to work just fine. Price is still reasonable. | |
| Audio experts help Decibel output. Al, just a simple electronics question. I would think that a speaker has its own electronic attributes of resistance, reactance and inductance. So . . . would the characteristics of the signal coming off the amp be changed as it passes through the... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s Sunnyboy, my amp is an ARC VS-115 which originally came stock with 6550C tubes. Since then ARC switched out to the KT-120s, which is what I used now. Bought the KT-120s from Upscale Audio. In my opinion, the KT-120s better the 6550C tubes in prett... | |
| JMW 10.5 tonearm cartridge recommendation I own a Classic too. My primary carty is the Soundsmith VPI Zephyr and backup is the DV 20X2H. While I like the DV, IMO, the Zephyr is much better. Another plus for the Zephyr is that Peter Ledermann can retip it pretty quickly for only $250.Your ... |
