| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft I use both L'art du Son and AIVS 3 step on my PRC4. L'art du Son is very effective in both time and quality of sound, so I use it most of the time. AIVS definitely provides better sound, but is much more time consuming (15 min a side or so, assumi... | |
| Where can I buy B&W shipping boxes? if your b&w have the top mounted tweeter, I would highly advise against shipping them without the specifically molded B&W packaging materials...call the North America group up in MA (978) 664 2870. They can let you know if they have the bo... | |
| What power cable better for a cd player IMO van den Hul Mainsserver is an excellent PC specifically designed for digital. I vividly remember the day I put it in my system, and I've tried many other cords on digital since and stuck with the vdH.As previously mentioned, all depends on the... | |
| Kora Mercury Integrated amplifier, is it worth? I have a Kora Flash, which is essentially a lower power version of the Mercury and without a remote. IMHO, all of the amps you mention are great, although I personally feel that the Cary SLI-80 is not in the league of the others that you mention.I... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Guys,Thanks again for all the responses!I swear that the Lenco is something else. I was able to get the armboard milled down such that VTA could be properly adjusted on the Spacearm. And with the Condor, it certainly seems that pace, frequency ext... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Just as a follow up - I mounted the Spacearm and vdH Condor on the Lenco. Need to resolve some VTA related issues - ran out of travel and still too far above level (and don't want to just use a really thick mat), but all in all my first impression... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Thanks everyone for all the info, this is very useful.I am just going to go ahead and drill out the other armboard for the Spacearm and give it a try. Can't afford a new arm just yet - but it looks like the Lenco can handle some of the finest arms... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Thanks for the responses.My primary goal is to find out what others have experienced withe their Lencos and their impressions of different components and combinations of components on this table.Dopogue - this is exactly the information I'm lookin... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Following up on my first post, I have seen a lot of folks using a Denon 103 (and 103R) on Lencos. Just does not seem like the right fit to the Rega arm (arm is light for the Denon). I tried a 103R some time back on the Spacearm (which is 1.5 g eff... | |
| Amplifier to go with a Mcintosh c2300 I would get a MC402 in a heart beat. An incredible combo.Arthur | |
| How would you improve the sound of Squeezebox? I also just sold my Apollo for a SB Duet. Running 50' hard line ethernet, stock Duet, digital out into a DAC with tube output stage I custom built. IMO the real limiter on the Apollo (and most CDPs) is implementation of the analog output stage, wh... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx It sounds like bass is your main priority. In that case, stick with Krell. | |
| Any PRIMUS fans out there? I really like the Brown Album and Antipop, although older Primus is good too.You should check out one of Les' side project .. Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel. Title of the album is "Highball with the Devil". The whole album is pretty crazy. | |
| Best sounding for MMG I would recommend the Rotel RA-972. Right in your price range and its crisp nature will complement the MMG's smoothness very nicely. There isn't one for sale here currently but they aren't rare.However there are many options so you may need to exp... | |
| What to look for in purchasing CD-R's for recordin I have tried many but use the Sony Music CD-Rs consistently now. You can find them at Target. |
