| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke I should have read this thread before I purchased a JC2 demo in May, 2015. I felt there was 3rd order harmonic distortion from the beginning, but over the phone Richard Schramm assured me there wasn't. The on-off button recently fell off and I b... | |
| Where do you buy your CDs these days? I buy new classical CD's and SACD's from PrestoClassical in the UK. However, their shipping prices have just increased a lot, so Amazon Prime may become my source. | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I recently purchased the Oppo UDP-205 to use strictly for a modest SACD collection. It does not decode HDCD which is disappointing, but I suppose it's to keep costs down. A friend and I compared an Oppo BDP-95 with a Cambridge CXU with the Oppo ... | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System I had forgotten about his thread. MusicDirect discounts the ADS to $850 so I bought one. It does seem to improve my vinyl playback system with wider soundstage, better instrument separation, better dynamics, overall musicality, etc. The factory... | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System Tom: eagerly awaiting your report re sonic improvements with ADS unit. This was my original question. | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System Melm:Sorry. Wrong word. At this point I'm almost ready to take your advice not to buy anything and maybe the DIY components that Phoenix Engineering used to make will be available again.So far no one who has bought the ADS has responded as to ho... | |

| VPI Analogue Drive System So it's kind of as I thought. If the unit is left on all the time there should be little variation in speed from that point of view. Stylus drag and bearing friction should also be constant. Apparently the speed can be controlled with minimal t... | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System Thank you for your responses. Using the Platterspeed Feickert phone app I know my unit runs a little fast, about 33.5 rpm. It seems fairly consistent. It seems to me the Sutherland unit will tell me the same, but how does it slow it down to 33.... | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System I just got through reading the whole thread on the VPI forum about this unit...the one that closed down May 5. All I can say is WOW. Such invective! I missed out on the Eagle/Roadrunner units because I wasn't really interested in this until now... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Can get Proteus from England for $4300 or less. I have had it for about 4 months set up on a VPI Scoutmaster TT JMW-9 Signature tonearm and Parasound JC3+ preamp. I go to a lot of live classical music concerts and it's the closest to the real t... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Does no one listen to Classical music? Emma Kirkby, Renee Fleming, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson come to mind. |
