Changed subs from speaker level to XLR after many years. Wow!

Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
I use BAT VK-150's for my modified 1.7i. High current tube amps are the way to go.

I wish I could report back some solid findings. I cannot. My personal life has been far too busy and I just could not pay attention that well. I do believe that I did put the arm back together better than it was. This could give me better performa... 
Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers

How is the EAR 843P Deluxe vs. Modern phono preamps?
Well, thanks for that very informative and abrasive response invictus. Does you keyboard have tourettes? I had the 834p for years and found that it is not state of the art. I did do some mods including power cord, caps, resistors and some others I... 
Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings

I have the Eagle/Roadrunner to correct the speed. Once I get the new pulley, I will use the Fieckert software to compare the difference between one,two, and three belts. 
Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?
tooblue,I saw that pulley and was not sure if it would work on my classic. I'll call Music Direct today and get one. I already have several belts so I don't need them. What table are you using the multiple belts on?

Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?
I did have a scout several years ago and tried the floss. The platter was much lighter. I have not tried it on my Classic. I am interested in the 3 belt because I am going to build a table and wonder if 3 belts is worth the effort?
