Some changes..

Swapped the Cary for an Ayre KX 5 Twenty, upgraded the VIP with their fat boy tonearm and an AirTight PC-7.

I don't disagree with any of the comments, but I'll add a few more:

1. To the extent possible, get your room right first. I'm not suggesting you spend a ton a $$$ - but sometimes even small...

Excellent. Thanks.



I’ve considered it, but I like to run my turntable balanced (my VPI has balanced outs, and the Ayre has balanced inputs). I’ve yet to find a SUT that provides for fully...

Thanks. I understand the calculation still works. In other words, regardless of the resistor value, if I use the 47k setting the calculation shows I'm within a fraction of the original. So I was...

Is there a reason why I wouldn't just reset the phono preamp's load to 47k and use a resistor without worrying about the above calculation?

I knew I came to the right place. Thanks!

Yeah, I think there's a lot of truth to this. I do enjoy the 1000 setting, but not having more options has me curious as to whether I'm missing something.



Anywhere between 100 and 800. He...

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but I'm struggling to figure out what is the proper load setting for my AirTight PC-7. Mated with an Ayre p5xe phono pre, I have the options of 100,...

Yeah, they're definitely "unique" in design and looks. And although I wouldn't say the bass is thin, it just doesn't have quite the slam as some others do. But given how dynamic they are, it's a...

So they finally arrived today. Personally I think they're...

Been awhile since I posted something new here, so I thought I'd share my latest find.

I've always been a big fan of Thiel, especially the CS 3.7. It was a Jim Thiel's last speaker, and the...

So you're saying it was a bad idea to fill my empty bottle of Bombay with VPI mix?? Interesting.. :scratch:



Hey Marco. Good to hear from you too. Always lurking around on this site, just not...

Thanks. It does make me wonder though how exactly you eat chocolate. Kinda scary to think about it..





Thanks fellas.

The liquor cabinet is one of my favorite pieces. It pulls double...

Moved things around a bit..

So as much as I enjoyed the coziness of my most recent setup, as others hinted at, it just wasn't cutting it acoustically. Lucky for me, I recently added a room above my garage that will now serve...

Just thought I'd report back after trying some of your suggestions..

Split the Cary stack. Can't say I was able to hear any differences. I'll try it again when I swap out the current Tung Sols.....

Hey Marco - good to hear from you. Glad you dig the room.



I had no choice. Believe me, I envisioned the setup just as you described, but the room didn't give me the option. I think it...

Thanks Grant. Always appreciate the comments.

Picked up some new cabinets..

It's been awhile since I posted here, but better late than never. Moved into a new house, so still adjusting to the new listening space. The room sounds much better (more space to separate the...

Thanks for the comments Tim. Zeus really doesn't have much of an ear for music. He just likes the company. :D

Best of luck on your computer audio. The mere convenience of being able to hide...

Up late, can't sleep, so I figured, what better time than to update my system thread?

Bought an REL Stentor III subwoofer second hand. Still dialing it in, but it's already a welcome addition to...

Thanks Marco. Appreciate the kind words as always.

New cabinet

Custom made so it could be deep enough to store the a-50

Thanks Richard. It's a great ride, and I try to enjoy it as much as possible.



$50 for Glenfiddich 15 (if I'm lucky). Money well spent IMO.. :cool:
