| vpi classic -phono cable I initially had the VPI phono cable on my Scout. Swapping this to an Audience AU-24 was an improvement, in my books. I would consider the VPI cable a starter cable, from which you can compare others. | |
| Reference 3A speakers This would be the most logical place to start?http://www.reference3a.com/ | |
| Comparison Living Voice IBX-R2 to OBX-R2? I'm still watching this thread and hoping someone has a response. I own the IBX-R2 and would also like to know what can be expected with the outboard crossover. Have you tried speaking with Living Voice UK directly? | |
| resolution opus 21 cd player OPINIONS PLEASE To be clear Rocky1313, I bought my player from Great Northern Sound directly, with modifications already done. I have since replaced the stock umbilical power connector with a Ridge Street Audio unit. I'm also using aftermarket power cords (to my ... | |
| resolution opus 21 cd player OPINIONS PLEASE Yes, it sounds like you already have your mind made up! This is a very 'musical' player IMHO, which I prefer over my vinyl set-up. It's not very fussy about placement - just set it on a solid surface, and feed it dedicated power. Try turning off t... | |
| Recommended acoustic recordings You might try (sorry, not SACD):Cat Power- JukeboxJose GonzalezLisa Ekdahl- Back to EarthBeck- Sea ChangeM. Ward - Post WarThese are more contemporary offerings, but you may find some of them interesting. | |
| Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial Funny! I was watching this ad with my wife last night. She asked if I knew what amp it was. Unfortunately, I could not identify it. Now I'll have the smarty-pants answer. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 Levy03 The XX only has their debut album which was out last year. Is there a new album out soon, as their website does not indicate this? | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 Yup, Broken Bells, thus far. | |
| Reference 3A choices? With your choice of music I think the De Cappos would not satisfy. They are neutral and easy to drive but do lack bass weight. If you're stuck on 3A I imagine the Veena would be a better option. | |
| Any Neko Case fans? Fox Confessor is definitely my favorite. | |
| Any Neko Case fans? Don't forget she provides vocals for the "New Pornographers". Much more 'Pop' but still worth a listen. Good for road trips and commuting? | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more I suppose you could look at Living Voice as well. Although it seems their distribution in the US is dwindling. | |
| Resolution Audio Opus Players? And, if you're lucky, you might find a GNSC modded Opus 21 at just over two grand. I bought one of these direct from GNSC two years ago and have nothing but good things to say. No problems to report, but the transport is slow to read. | |
| VPI Scout Hum Do you have an additional ground cable running from the RCA connection box on the Scout, to the ground screw on your phono Pre-amp? I know my Scout hums without this additional cable. Try grabbing the tone-arm head shell between two fingers when t... |
