No exaggerated sibilance with my NuVista 800 at all, nor with the KW500 before it. Perhaps it's a matter of synergy with the other components, cables, and speakers. I find the 800 to be fantastic. I...

Sorry analog21! I haven't visited the site for a while. I LOVE the Paua. I feel it is neutral-to-warm, with excellent resolution of fine detail and low noise floor. I am now alternating it with my...

Thanks Bill.

Thanks!!

Thanks Barry. More great ideas. Are the Mint protractors specifically made for different tables?

Thanks Rob. I have not heard a Lyra or Zyx, but have heard Transfiguration. The Soundsmith sounds very neutral and lifelike to me, with great detail and musicality. The Transfiguration I listened to...

Nice. As I understand it from my research, replacing my arm (eg with a 3D or other arm) is not trivial and would require modification of the plinth. Thus, I figured I would focus on the cartridge,...

Thanks Barry. I appreciate that information. What kind of TT/arm/cartridge are you using?

Hi All,

I currently am very happy with my VPI Scoutmaster/JMW9/Soundsmith Paua/edensound Terracone footers/Edensound Terrastone platforms for TT and separate for motor/edensound brass damping...

Happy New Year to you all!

Haha! I know what you mean.😊

I'm glad. May I ask what you had before your 3-year misadventures? Did you like that previous setup better than your current one?

By the way, it looks like you have some very nice gear. Are you happy with it?

That's funny. I try to satisfy that urge with tweaks. For example, I have experimented with vibration isolation methods, damping weights, etc.I am very reluctant to let go of components that I like....

I completely agree with you guys. I don't like to change gear often. I have been lucky from the beginning to have had a system that I liked. (Thanks to my excellent salesman at Definitive Audio in...

Hi Ralph,

Happy Christmas to you too. I have been listening very carefully to the CD player for many things, including the bass reproduction. I certainly have not noticed any problems with the...

Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks Ralph. I continue to love the NuVista 800; I just can't seem to stop listening to it. I now have it on Terrastone footers. I have been breaking in the NuVista CD for a few days now. Out of the...

I will have to break it in myself. Hopefully I can get a good idea of its sonic potential. I will be glad to share my impressions with you. I am excited to hear the combination of the two NuVista...

Ralph, through some great service from our US Musical Fidelity sales manager, I should have a NuVista CD to demo in my system in about a week. I will post my impressions once I have spent some time...

Ralph, I wonder if you have heard anything about the new Nu Vista CD player? From what little I've been able to find out, I bet it would sound amazing with the matching amplifier. It is not available...

Treasure that time, Mike. My late father was an audiophile and got me into this whole thing.i loved listening with him. Miss him almost every time I sit down to listen. Here's wishing you many more...

Thanks a lot for that information, Ralph. I do indeed see the bolts down there now. I will plan to put my footers next to the bolts as well when I get them in a couple of weeks. I am having custom...

Ralph, that is very helpful information. It looks like you are using 4 of the Nordost cones? Where exactly are the transformer bolts? I am planning to try Terrastone footers from Eden Sound Audio....

Thanks for the kind words, Mark! I really love it. Your system is very impressive as well. It would be great to hear all the carefully assembled systems represented here!
