Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? What's the general opinion of the Kharma MP150? It got rave reviews when it came out, but at this point the amplifier is 10+ years old. I presume it's been given updates over the years. One reviewer claimed it bested the darTzeel stereo amplifier.... | |

Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia? I own the 518IA and have not had a single problem with it. I bought it new from a dealer in Florida called Wellington Audio and my experience was fine. The dealer in North Carolina is Goldprint Audio. I purchased my Manley Chinook from there and T... | |
$20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! I would think that if I had $20k to drop on speakers, I also have enough money to travel to listen to the used speakers. | |
6922 Tubes! I got a full set of Philips 7DJ8 from Upscale Audio and I'm very pleased with them in my Chinook. Especially at $40 a tube, the price wasn't bad at all. You can save a little money and try a pair on the input stage (rear tubes) of the Chinook. Eva... | |
Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada Call UPS and ask what their brokerage fee is? They probably have a declared value schedule or else some percentage multiplier. Just a thought. | |
Spindle Holes Pretty sure the standard spindle diameter is 9/32". You can get a 9/32" bit at most any hardware store. | |
Which phono preamplifier do you recommend? Pretty sure the Liberty is over $1000. | |
Which phono preamplifier do you recommend? Price range? What's your table, cart, arm combo? I'm fond of my Manley Chinook. If you have more to spend, I hear the Allnic H1201 is really nice. At under $1k, I'd go with a Ray Samuel's Nighthawk F-117. | |
Cleaning records. How often really? Once I get a record, I clean it on my VPI, then run it through my DIY Ultrasonic cleaner. Once it's dry, it goes into a MoFi bag placed behind the record outer sleeve in a re-sealable poly bag. I don't clean them again after that unless they look ... | |
VPI Belt types There's a guy on eBay selling "VPI" belts. It's pretty much a 36.1" o-ring. $15 shipped. He offers a money back guarantee. | |
Headed to New Orleans Mofi pretty much hit it. I was just in New Orleans weekend before last. I prefer Euclid and Skully's. I've never been to Peaches.For additional music venues, there is One Eyed Jacks, d.b.a., and Siberia.If you don't mind the wait and you're there ... | |
Art Audio Carissa Sig or Viva Solista Lt ??? Haven't heard the Viva, but I've owned the Carissa before. It's a nice amp, but I much prefer my Line Magnetic LM-518IA. One thing to consider about the Carissa is support as I'm not sure who the US distributor is.....if there is one. | |
OLIVE sucks... I'm here all weekend! Tip your waitress and bartender. | |
OLIVE sucks... That's probably why Popeye and Bluto fought over her so much! |
