George: thanks that is kind of you to say. I don't think that there is any need for making peace though because nobody is at war. Just because someone does something you don't like does not mean you can't still like the person, its just the action or the behavior that you have a problem with. As...
Jay I suggest that you use a sandbag to experiment with varying weight to find what works best. You could also use a small cup modified with a hole in the bottom covered by a cap on the inside to provide clearance for the spindle. The cup could be plastic or metal. The idea here is to permit you...
Jay: you yourself have done exactly what it is that you seem to be so upset about. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Calling out a business in public when you don't know them and don't even give them a chance to respond to your concerns. You wrote them off with no thought which is...
Everybody's doing it (your opinion) so it must be ok. Now you have a reason but it's not good enough to post in public. Your skin is pretty thin if you truly consider this a personal attack. I think I explained my problem, would be nice if you would too. You have already stated you are not...
Jay I asked you to answer a question before you got defensive on me. Question stands. I guess that we will have to agree disagree. I don't know you but I do know that I would not want to do business with anyone who came to the table with your stated attitude. Without giving reason you have...
Jay: you have a very sad outlook toward people. I am sorry for you and what ever took you there. How do you think you would feel toward a customer of yours who came to you with your own attitude? Kind of a self defeating situation don't you think? Before you get defensive answer me this. If you...
The PA6 then PA6i was and is a good preamp the units were available with a wired remote and then an IR version. The wired unit was far nicer to use and it never walked away on you. John Wright who owns the rights to the Museatex name and who provides factory service and designs all the factory...
Sorry but I cannot answer your question though I think VPI would be happy to tell you. In the mean time and not to hijack your thread you could have a look at this blog.

I started with a BSR changer taken from my sisters old Sears portable stereo. Next was a brand new Dual 1229 (which I loved) then a slew of Thorens TD165 and 160's which I tuned up and sold to buy an Oracle Delphi Mk2. I loved the idea of the Oracle but it drove me nuts. A three spring...
Ack: I don't understand your angst over not having a scientific explaination for why a power cord would make your system sound better. About twenty years ago not long after I had gotten into designing and building cables I worked with a guy who had a favorite cable manufacturer and he had those...
