| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Hi gdhal, The Golden Ear, specifically the Triton line are a perfect example of this entire conversation.... To be fair to The Alta Statements, they appear by my feeble eyes to be Morel and Raal. The Morel Midrange and the Raal Tweeters alone... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Hi hockey4496, Not sure that I'll be a help here... I've seen raul chime in saying that your table is already better than a Technics 1200. I have no direct experience with your model. I have had A DP59 and a DP60L at my home for a few weeks e... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Thanks raymonda, that's all reasonable. I have owned 2 different KD600's with a Linn arm and an AT arm. It was nice sounding | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Hi raymonda, I'm under the impression that hockey4496 is on a budget. What would you buy at $400 that significantly beats it. I agree that the arm in the 1200 is the weak link, but replace the arm cable, heat shrink the tube and add a decent mediu... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Well,I have got 2 cents worth. I've used and modded Technics 1200's. It does look like a DJ table, but dead stock, I prefer it over most entry level tables. The audio Technica mentioned, needs the phono pre removed at a minimum and really could u... | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? Congrats, glad that you're happy with your purchase. Tim | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? Hi hockey4496.... wolf's post got me thinking, I'm familiar with the cartridges that he spoke of, for me, I would normally prefer the AT440 over the Pearl... I started thinking of cartridge loading, impedance, arm mass etc.... So I looked at yo... | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? Tough call, the Shure is fantastic at $80.... @ $105, I really like the Nagaoka MP110. I believe that these will both be livelier than the Grado, It can be a bit dark in some systems, but these all 3 are terrific cartridges at that $100 range.... | |

| Speaker Placement Sorry Srafi, my fingers are faster than my mind... that was the chairs between your speakers and sofa need to go. | |
| Speaker Placement By the Srafi, the speakers in between your speakers and sofa have to go... I do fear that you'll need a few ceiling tiles, decent size rug in front of the sofa and on the wall behind, Not necessarily in the center, but toward the corners, you'll... | |
| Powering DQ-10s 200 watts is fine.... its been years since i've heard them, but the first time I heard them was the best... Used an ARC SP-10 powering Kenwood L07M's.... Those were 150 watt mono blocks and lit them up quite well. | |
| Speaker Placement Ok Srafi, Thanks for the answers, here you go, this will get you a soundstage...Speakers..... 3ft off each side wall.... 4 ft off the back wall. This should place them approx. 10ft apart. Listening Chair.... 9 to 9.5ft centered in front of ... | |
| Speaker Placement Hi Srafi, I haven't seen any questions asked that I would need to give you guidance. Is the wall behind your speakers the 16ft wall or the 20ft wall?Are you firing into the carpeted area or away from the carpeted area? How much Furniture is i... | |
| Pre Amp for $400 ?? A true audiophile product with remote @ $400 is pretty tough... The Sumo & McCormack are both nice sounding pieces.... the Low end Classe models actually do have remotes available and $400 does happened on occasion for a CP 35 or lower, you ma... |
