| Headphone Amps and Portable/Personal Stereo??? I would not recommned the MF for your phones and think it would sound bright. Impedance matching is very important and the grado has a low impedance at 32 ohms. Actually I would listen to the RA-1. I use an RA-1 battery unit with Ultrasone 2500 wi... | |
| 1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is.. Kef 101s | |
| Avid Acutus - help with flying belt For kicks try cleaning the motor pulley with isopropyl alcohol. | |
| Which NORDOST Cables? I'll answer the question. I like the Norse line and think the Heimdall is at a nice level because it comes with the WBT nextgen (Baldur does not) and has twice as many more conductors as Baldur. Heimdall is about $200 more for a 1 meter interconne... | |
| Wall mount TT shelf recommendations I would go with the Target pro model. It is a little larger and substantial. Also consider the 2 shelf model(which I beleive is the pro size) | |
| Vinyl sounds a bit thin and slightly strident. Could be that your cartridge loading is too high...and/or setup..possibly VTA too high. | |
| Dartzeel 108 Have you considered tube electronics? I too have Micro BEs and using BAT 32se and vk-75se. This set-up gives me everything (SS control with tube depth and texture). Certainly other tube gear can do this as well. | |

| Looking for tabletop ideas for VPI 16.5RCM I put together a nice table w/casters at the Container Store. As always there is very helpful and knowledgeable staff to configure what you need. Not the cheapest solution but a very good one. | |
| Who was your first More Jazz Fusion than JAZZ but for me it was Pat Metheny and Jean Luc Ponty back in high school. | |
| Best high end monitors? I have had two speakers that I could recommend. Currently I have Focal Micro BE speakers with an Electra sub. These speakers are effortless and have a great sense of space. I thoroughly enjoy this speaker. Footnote: they do take awhile to break in... | |
| Speaker Stands adapters for Heavy Speakers? Your top plate is just fine, really. Going to the edge won't make it any better. 1/2 or so around the edge is very normal. | |
| used subs: $500 I would add the sunfire Super Jr. Small, fast, and deep. | |
| Recommendations for solid core speaker wiring? I really like the Audioquest DBS cables. You could pickup Mont Blanc maybe Volcano. Coherent but still detailed. | |
| Best way to clean Piano Gloss I use a product called Plexus. Works well on any acrylic finish, aluminum and other finishes. I use it on my Focal Utopias as well as all my gear. Great for TT covers. Use a microfiber sloth as well. |
