| Stylus skipping at beginning of record Do not exceed the recommended tracking force. The recommended tracking force is always a good starting place, but it does not take into account the mass of the tonearm. A heavy tonearm is going to work the cartridge suspension more than a ligh... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps I’ve yet to experience the “hair on my arms stand-up” playing this track on the Bryston ss amp? When you have a system that works, try to suppress the upgradeitis. | |
| Accuphase E-480 meter flicking New problem? If yes, something has failed. | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? @islandmandan "Music has been a constant my whole life, even though I wasn't able to pursue a carreer in it, it's a major factor in my quality and enjoyment of ilfe.

| Front Wall with Full length Workbench Shelf It started out a combo light duty wood shop and art studio that’s transitioning to a light duty art studio and listening area. I'd just put them on the workbench and add a sub if you want/need to. I wouldn't spend too much time trying for nirva... | |

| Front Wall with Full length Workbench Shelf It sounds like it is a workshop and not a dedicated listening area, am I wrong? | |
| Stylus skipping at beginning of record I'd also look at tracking force, anything less than 2 grams is suspect. | |
| Accuphase E-480 meter flicking Let's see if I understand what is going on. You have an integrated amp that is working intermittently, and the VU power meter is reflecting a power issue. If that is the case, your amp has failed, and you will need to seek service. | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Triangle Signature Deltas at $8500 pair. Air, depth, width, and beautiful mid-range. | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma I remember when I picked them they didn’t fit in my car That’s weird they fit in my CrewCab F150 with room to spare? | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps ....why are tube amps according to people who own them say the sound is more say romantic sound vs SS amp ? General statements about the sound qualities of individual designs are a little too broad sweeping. You really have to evaluate each co... |
