Wilsons, darTZeel, Vinyl and Tubes

Curious if you actually use the AT666 or do you find it a pain. I don't use my outer ring that much as I get lazy. It sounds a lot better but centering it etc just takes time. I read the instructio...

Only tubes and vinyl will do

Paul,Glad to see someone else echoing my feelings about the isolation on the TW bringing it up a notch. I am using the Promethean base which gives the exact same improvements as you describ...

How do you like the Eminent? Did you get a chance to compare it to any other cartridges?

No more foolin' around

Reading your turntable comments. Wow. Meitner creams them. I barely turn on my Meitner - though not the SE. It is good but nothing compares to Analogue for me. I would suggest that buy one of the g...

Do you miss your Colibri at all after switching to the XV-1s?? I am torn between those 2 and a few others.

Mmakshak & Oneobgyn,Vinyl does not need a ton of money. Just the right synergy. One thing off and you need to start from scratch figuring out where you are going wrong. Not necessarily spen...

Oneobgyn,I myself have decided to avoid video other than a very basic system. This hobby is too much to go all the way on all ends. Now that LCDs are not expensive as before I just might bi...

Building around Wilson Alexandria

If your subwoofer integrates seemlessly w. your Maxx IIs then I suggest you move your Maxx IIs well out off the rear wall. It sets the image free and lets the speaker breathe. Bass will suffer slig...

Justin,The Koetsu loves mass. I had my Urushi in my SME V and added blue tack at a few points. Definitely improved bass & dynamics. Check your resonant frequency on a test disc. Curious wha...

Love the Maxx IIs. I am wondering what is next. There is no end, but the Maxx IIs put you in a different league of "big" sound. Vinyl is addictive. I am listening to some Big Classical an...

Curious about your final impressions on the Nordost Thor? The superiority & addictive nature of vinyl is dissappointing for me. Too much music on CD that I only listen to in my car these days. What...

I was thinking of the Coral Stone to try. Love the looks. I hear it is warmer sounding. Less neutral. Now I am thinking Jade. I hear the recent versions are amazing. I know others who disagree. I w...

Cmk,The Conductor has me curious. How is the bass? My big fear w. linear tracking arms is that on many low compliance cartridges they will not be able to provide the bass. I just moved my Z...

Justin,Email Bea at VTL. I doubt you should use anything on the VTL amps. Your amp has a regulated power supply (at some level) and will benefit more from after market power cords than almo...

Justin,How do you like the Hydra. I just plugged in the Thor but haven't had a chance to turn anything on. My kids are visiting for 3 weeks. Reduced listening time but great hugs at night.

Justin,If you go after cartridge then you need one that will work in a linear tracking tonearm if a Walker is next. What I recently read a new Walker is about 70K w. all the extras. This as...
