SMARTractor Anyone?
I have one along with several set up templates. Excellent product.Templates? It has multiple alignment grids.Have you tried the Uni alignment? On mine when I tighten the screw the lines do not line up exactly. I need to call Vana.Thanks,Robert

Hello,Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the manual is not specific. Once the headshell is pushed in, one cannot see the slot can one?Thanks Again,Robert 
Best cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Signature
Add Lyra Delos and Kleos to the list. I mounted a Lyra Kleos on my tricked-out VPI Classic (reg 1/2 plinth and Classic 3 tonearm). Phenominal performing combo. They seem to work on the longer heavier VPI arms, but my Kleos had pretty noticeable si... 
JPS Superconductor Q
Hey,Yes, I did try them in my system. After listening to the Q's for half a day or more, I put the Cross back in. I then put the HERO back in. HERO w/WBT rca's is definately week on the bottom in compared to the other two. It is the most detailed ... 
JPS Superconductor Q
So, the Q seems neutral but may be a bit thin in the mids. Comparing to Cardas Cross which is a bit too soft and my HERO w/WBT rca's which is a bit bright. I am thinking I need to try Neutral Reference and Golden Presence.Ideas?Thanks,Robert A. Ober 
JPS Superconductor Q

Table radio options for kids room
So after upgrading my amp to a Classe' CA-2200, which is fed by a Classe' CP-500, I again connect the Tivoli Model 3 to the preamp and marveled at the quality. Listening to the low power KTSU Jazz station one can tell they are not using the low qu... 
Table radio options for kids room
I have the Model 3 and it would be at least 5 years old. I plug it in to the HiFi as a tuner and it is quite good. Through the speaker they probably EQ it but it is very analog sounding. Place against a wall or in a corner and you might be amazed.... 
Classe' CP-500 Questions
So, got my CA-2200 today. Really nice, lost the hard mids and upper mid peak of the Rotel 1582. Surprising also lost some of the fullness(as in body of the instruments) and bass. Hopefully I will get some of that back as the Classe' runs in. It is... 
Classe' CP-500 Questions
So y'all mad at me or no CP-500 owners/former owners around? Would appreciate some help as I have yet to get Classe to call me back.Should be getting a CA-2200 tomorrow to go with it. Rotel 1582 going back. Good amp but I am used to better constru...
