| Jeff Rowland to what? I have been very satisfied with a pair of Herron Audio M1 amps. I'm pretty much focused on sound rather than artistic cases or how much an amp costs and the Herron equipment never disappoints. Without any consideration for cost, the Herron M1s w... | |
| KT-88 vs. EL34 KT-88 or EL34 doesn't matter 1%. It's all about the overall amp design. No point in conversions if the basic amp is not a good design to start with. | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard The Decca / London recording of the Solti / Vienna performance of Wagner's Ring Cycle, particularly "Gotterdammerung". The entire box set. Hands down the VERY BEST vinyl I've heard. Even the CDs (with a very good DAC) are better than most vinyl. | |
| Specific Pre-Amp advice Up your budget and but a Herron Audio VTSP-3a. There might be a used one around. Definitely hold out for it. You shouldn't have to worry about upgrading the pre-amp again. | |
| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables I’m an unofficial non-paid non-actor spokesman for the Interplanetary High-End Audio Speaker Cable Manufacturers and Wire Recycle Association, LLC (pending). We feel that it’s a great idea to use very long runs of the most expensive speaker cable ... | |
| Need Help Ripping My CD Collection Audacity. Period.. VERY flexible. Converts formats. Great software without a big learning curve. And it's free. And it can edit tunes. And do playback. It will not do the dishes or make your bed. | |
| Anyone know anything about any of this equipment? LINN, AYRE, TICE, ETC. Try a careful web search. You can dig up original retail value and what that equipment currently sells for. | |
| Speaker upgrade... You have given no personal listening preferences or the type of music you enjoy, size of your listening room, electronics, WAF influence or any other background information. | |
| Best divorce album? Willy Nelson "On the Road Again" or The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again" | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Stringreen - I don't have speed variation issues. What I notice is the pulses from the motor being transmitted through the belt to the platter. Reducing the voltage reduces the magnitude of the pulses which reduces the noise. The speed holds qu... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle slaw - You must absolutely hate many of the electronics manufacturers. Many put out products only to offer costly upgrades and improved products in a truncated product life-cycle. Frustrating. But technology along with R&D drive the improve... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Speed monitoring is probably not necessary as long as there is sufficient motor torque. Reduction of the voltage to the motor will reduce the pulses in the belt drive. THAT is the real issue. That can be addressed with a small variostat. No sp... | |
| Disaster WAF not too good? | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle slaw - Why? Maybe they made the smart move by just buying the remaining inventory. What would make them a "surrogate of VPI"? Besides, now those warranties are all in question. How long will those units continued to be supported under warrant... | |
| More from VPI! Chassis looks like a squared-up Prime Sig on rubber feet. Didn't know VPI had a gimbal arm that was in the same league as any of their unipivots. |
