Cart for Basis Debut/Graham?
Newmanoc - Thanks for your opinion of the Dynavector. I see you've got a Linn Klyde listed in your system. Is this your present cartridge? If not, what did you go with? 
Cart for Basis Debut/Graham?
Ngeorge - Thanks for bringing me back to earth. I sometimes have a tendency to believe that more expensive equipment is the way to solve a problem. You're right that my current equipment should be good enough to provide more than adequate performa... 
Cart for Basis Debut/Graham?
Kurt - Thanks for your thoughtful response. Yes, I'm the lucky guy who snagged the Debut on Agon. Apparently I wasn't alone in thinking it was a good deal. Living in the same area as the seller eliminated the need to pack and ship, which was a bon... 
Cart for Basis Debut/Graham?
Ngeorge - I too was surprised that I wasn't more impressed with the set-up. However, other than one particularly good-sounding LP, everything up to this point has been so-so. No buyers remorse though, as I realize that both the table and arm are f... 
Anyone ever us V Caps capacitors in Amps?
Joe Fratus of Art Audio recently told me that he's testing the teflon V Caps in some of his amps with good results. I'm using an Art Audio Diavolo, so I'm also interested.Tests won't be completed for several weeks though. I suggest you contact Joe... 
Best value table/arm/cart combo?
Sdcampbell - The Scoutmaster is at or near the top of my list as well, though I've read some threads where the 9" JMW arm is thought to be the weak link. I don't seem to remember specific complaints. You apparently are a fan of both the arm and ta... 
Any tube subwoofers out there?
The NOLA Thunderbolt sub uses an A/B amplifier. I haven't heard it, but it's received excellent reviews from both reviewers and users. It's not tubed, but is considered more of an audiophile subwoofer than most. 
Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants
Photon46 - I felt the same way about my P300's fan noise, so I disconnected the lead to the fan. It's been working fine for over 3 years now, and it's dead quiet. As I've just got my SS front end components connected, there's no problem with overh... 
Problem Recording with EAC
Rwwear-Would you please be more specific as to how you use Nero with EAC. I'm unfamiliar with this program, but do have a friend who is using it. How does it work in conjunction with EAC? And why would this solve the problem? Sorry for my ignoranc... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
No slouch,I too listened to a DD-12 at a local dealer over the weekend, and while it did a credible job in a moderately large home theater room, it didn't provide the tactile shudder of an 18" sub. Like you, I'm going to go with the DD-18. Still t... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
Sgr,I wish my room could accomodate 4 subs, but there's really only one workable corner. I could put 2 smaller subs under my front screen, with a 3rd in the back. Ideally I'd like to get by with one great sub if possible, especially since the reas... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
Thanks guys. If you click on my system and view the pic of my current horn sub, you'll have an idea of where I'm coming from. It works wonderfully, but at 42"x42"x22", it's a monster. I had a 9' sofa sitting on top of it acting as a 22" riser for ... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
Eldartford -Your explanation of the set-up of dual subs makes sense. However, isn't there then a chance that by making a second adjustment to sub #1, it could change a resonance that sub #2 originally saw and compensated for, but is now not needed... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
No slouch,Thanks for your input. I'm assuming step #2 as was described by Velodyne makes gross adjustments to the 2nd sub, while step #3 fine-tunes the combined subs. Just my guess.I'm surprised that a Velodyne rep would disparage their smaller su... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
I've followed this thread with great interest, as I'm now trying to decide on one Velo DD-18 or two DD-12's. My room houses 2 separate systems, 2-ch & HT. Due to furnishings and construction, I can place one DD-18 in the right rear corner, nex...
