| Shipping a VPI TT, Arm & Cartridge. Help Needed If you can't find a dealer to handle this properly for you, and assuming your uncle can disassemble it, and you know how to reassemble it, I would have him take it apart and package **each part** separately in its own box (using appropriate packag... | |
| the best music dvd video?? This subject has been covered previously in multiple threads. Here's one of the latest threads which also has links to some the others.I've picked up a few since my last post that I would rate as "very good":Mike Oldfield "Live at Montreux 1981"Ac... | |
| Rotel RB-1080/Totem Model 1 Signatures? I'm not familiar with the Mod 1's, nor do I have a good comprehension of how loud you're playing them when you "turn them up". I do have Mani-2's and they will play as loud as I can imagine anyone wanting to listen with no problem. I previously ow... | |
| Von Schweikert VR 4 jr. Worth upgrading to MKII? search the archives . . . there was a discussion a while back about the differences between the 2 versions. My (vague) recollection is that the difference is minor and only exists because one of the components in the MkI is no longer available, so... | |
| Rotel RB-1080/Totem Model 1 Signatures? It's fine, and won't be a problem unless you overdrive them (try to play them too loud). But you could overdrive them even with a 100 w/c amp, and likely have bigger problems as a result because the amp may break up. | |
| vpi tonearm v.s. clearaudio I can't speak for the JMW arm, but I have a Clearaudio Satisfy arm and am very happy with it. I replaced a Rega RB300 with OL structural mod and Cardas rewire, and found it to be much more to my liking. | |
| Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Vinyl... the idea is intriguing, but I probably wouldn't spring for a lot of $. For my purposes the CD's are fine, mostly because it's once a year for a few listens only. | |
| Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Vinyl... There was an interesting article in the Washington Post on these guys 2 weeks ago. It's turned into a Rock franchise with 2 bands touring during the Christmas season. I doubt they have or intend to put out any vinyl. I do like their take on many o... | |
| Top 5 Entry-level audiophile speakers $1500-2000? Totem should also be on your list. Soundworks in Kensington, Md. has them (or the did last time I was there). They also carry Vandersteen, Gallo, and probably several others. | |
| Magnepan Ultra Tonearm you may want to post this question on Vinyl Asylum. A couple of guys there are very familiar with the Magnepan arm.Also, Vinyl Engine has the owners manual you can download for the arm. It may shed some light. | |
| B&K St-202 vs St0202+ plus the ST202 is rated 150 w/c; ST202+ is rated at 200 w/c. Both have the same current rating (28 amps).Here's B&K's amp spec's for their older amps.According to the spec page, both had a production run of '88-'93. I believe the black/gold models ... | |
| What's your favorite remake of a song Many of my fav's are mentioned above.Cowboy Junkies released a CD called "'Neath Your Covers". It was actually a throw in with "One Soul Now" when I bought it. Among the songs on 'neath your covers are 3 I like better than the original:"Thunder Ro... | |
| How to make sound less detailed with warmth? I can't imagine the amp is the root of your problem (ie lack of warmth/musicality). You're not likely to find an amplifier that's warmer than the B&K M200 without spending ~$1000+, and even at that price SS amps aren't likely to bring more war... | |
| How do I connect two preamps at the same time? connecting in the way Emailists describes accomplishes exactly what you're seeking. Try it.I definitely wouldn't attempt the split interconnect approach you describe. | |
| Vinyl Catalog I like it! thanks |
