| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace I'd stay with the Adcom. Over the years I've had a lot of pre-amps, twice as many as any other component in my system. The 750 is the only one of the bunch I regret selling. I sold it when I switched to tubes. The 750 was very benign, never ... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Good thread and very educational. Well done folks. I've played in the "Gray Market" casino a few times over the years and it appears I've been lucky. | |
| Adcom Gia 555ii amp and gfp 565 preamp Do you know the environmental condition of the storage area? If conditioned were 70 degrees +or - a bit. If so, I would do a few things first. Open the cases and perform a visual inspection of each device. If the capacitors are swollen and lea... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls My pre-has electronic tone controls but I've not used them. Yet, my computer based music server playback software has an EQ and I have used it on a few albums that have great music but were poorly engineered/mix. I look at the subject this way.... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @shadorne nice link. Living in the desert with it's dry climate DD is the way to go, elastic belts dry out quickly when the humidity is in the low teens most of the time. | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G Thanks Vinny for the link. I've heard of Fremer but never read his stuff. He writes pretty good.

| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Outstanding post Steve! | |
| Moving from MM to MC The Denon DL103 along with the 103r are outstanding devices and perform well above there current cost. The DL-103, given the cost is a great way to explore MC on the cheap. | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? This tread just may be fun, buckle up! | |
| What MC cart would you use with this setup? The AT-33PTG/II its out of production but are still available at a reasonable price. It has a Shibata stylus. | |
| New or used cartridge Purchasing a used phono cartridge is a lot like buying a used Tooth Brush. | |
| Tubes in VTL 2.5 preamp I owned a VTL 2.5 for a few years, the 12AT7/12AU7 version. Over the years I rolled a bunch of NOS and new tubes thru the device and it never made an appreciable difference in sonic performance. | |
| Do I have to brand match preamp and amp? Once, I did have a set of amps that matched the pre-amp. The same manufacturer but different generations. The only thing that matched was the name plate. My entire system does not even match color. Some is black and the rest is brushed aluminum. | |
| Manley vs VTL?? David Manley started VTL in the early 80's and based the products on his own designs. Once VTL was established his son Luke ran the business. David moved on and started Manley Audio and made gear for the Studio/Pro. The two companies were never... | |
| Musical Fidelity A308CR Pre Pricing I own one and have kept track of the prices. Lately the prices have ranged from 750 up to 1200. Does yours have the remote? |
