| What will a preamp do for me? While this thread seems to have run its course, I’ll nonetheless ask for some guidance. I totally get the active vs passive discussion, having had placette and reference line one way back in the day and several actives since.i now have the lumin x... | |

| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Another positive experience with the Gaia Orea feet. Placed under my VPI TNT 3.5 - huge improvement in depth, detail, and imaging.Placed between the upper and lower cabinets of the Verity Parsifal - much improved image and detail, much bigger sou... | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement easy enough - thanks - best to you to | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement Wow - very nice system - congrats. The way I'm set up can't really place the motor on a separated shelf, but certainly could put something under it. Thread drive...? I'm game, any pointers on that? Cheers! | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement Very helpful. Hmm, based on that, I suspect my rack does a good job at isolating the gear from external vibrations. So, I'll focus on dissipating internal vibrations. Obviously a turntable will have those. How much internal vibration can be ge... | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement wntrmute- just read your post on vpi forum - that clears up the construction questions for me - thx for the additional info.I tried the tennis balls and yes, the towers sat perfectly right on top of the tennis balls, just as I planned, and compare... | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement Thanks - you just confirmed my suspicion that it's clearly not a plug and play repair ball install. The tops of the VPI legs on my TNT are not threaded, so I don't see how your clever allen screw would work...?Looking more at ball diameters, turn... | |
| Kharma CRM 3.2 Ceramic Driver - Cracked! Yes- I've contacted Kharma and the dealer, but only upgrades are available - I'm hoping to find one original driver. | |
| transparent cables Hopefully this thread is still somewhat alive. I just demo'd a musiclink plus tonearm cable and compared it with a synergistic tricon and a kimber tak-h. Quite a difference. I the transparent is way more musical and rich, but the SR and Kimber pro... | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please Thanks again to all those weighing in. Turns out my dear friend, despite all the tools from wally, graham, feikert, fozgometer, dinolight, etc etc, just did not have the koetsu installed correctly. surprise surprise - The overhang was a good 3/16"... | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please Thanks for the input. I know the Koetsu has plenty of hours on it, so break-in is not the issue. The prior owner had a plethora of set up devices from the typical guides, to a fozgometer, wally tools, digital microscope for setting SRA, etc etc - ... | |
| USB to I2S that supports DSD In speaking with W4S today, they remain enamored with the USB especially with the Femto clock - which should be back in my system end of next week. Their advice was to not go the outboard usb to i2s converter route just to avoid more processing an... | |
| USB to I2S that supports DSD Well, I've borrowed a friend's server with I2S out, and compared with analogue. Both are superior to the USB connection, such as providing more harmonic depth, more "air", less grain, tighter imaging - overall a bit more musical. Plus, avoiding th... | |
| USB to I2S that supports DSD Yup- that audiobyte hydra x seems like the only one out there right now. Thanks for the tip!! With Empirical on the way, it appears the mfgrs have seen this niche arrive. I'm guessing that going with an outboard converter is the way to go. So then... |
