| Marantz TT15S1 Turntable. Any opinions 1500.00 Budget. Recommendations Find a REGA RP3 and put a Dynavector 10X5 on it!! That is a lot of jump factor my friend for $1500 or very near...good luck.Matt M | |
| Auralic or arender? Without a doubt! Upgrading to a Aurender music player would be the awesome choice and its the best sounding, imo. (all their units are special in this way) Also, Aurender makes a lot of different products, some with DAC’s some without, some have h... | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. Look at Modwright, Balanced Audio Technologies, Audio Research, McIntosh for XLR (big bucks)...IMO, I would dump the whole idea of going balanced with tube gear because a lot of the best sounding stuff does not provide balanced connections! Also,... | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? I would not replace a Shelter 501 with a Denon 103 AND the 103 is not a good cartridge for that light to med weight tone arm. A much better choice would be a Dynavector 10X5 MC (2.5mv) for that arm, IMO. Lots of jump factor with this cartridge, yo... | |
| Stand mount choice I 2nd the Dynaudio!! If you have the power, go for it!! They are very well built and will last you a very long time. Matt M | |
| McIntosh C22 Unsolved Problem - for techs/smart guys/EEs Does the C22 have a three prong power cord? What I mean is that , this could be a ground problem. I kept thinking it was a piece of my tube gear as well..(it wasn't) Are you using multiple components plugged into a few different wall outlets?? If... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? OK, I hear what you guys are saying about using the cheater plugs. So, I removed them.... I surely had a ground problem, after I changed my plugs around I was able to kill the noise and no more popping!! I plugged everything into a cheap groun... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Hello everyone, After much snarling and growling and talking to different people I was able to place two 3to2 adapters on all components EXCEPT the main amplifier, I think by doing this the system is now funneling the grounds down to the one outle... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? The Tech at Manley is trying to say that I am experiencing "static discharge" from my turntable. I have 3 turntables a Thornes TD160 w/Grado prestige woodbody, Rega P3 w/Dynavector 10X5 and groovetracer upgrades, Project Xtension 10 w/Dynavector 2... | |
| Sonic Frontier Line 3 vs McIntosh C2500 Beautiful system! I really think that you would love the McIntosh....But I would give another one a look... the Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp is great for injecting a lot of rich organic earthy quality with a real palpable sense and a huge soundstage w... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Thank you all for responding. I knew I would learn some things by asking this question and I sure have from these responses. I really like the idea of not adding an additional component and more cables. Also, Things are dead quiet right now at the... | |
| Turntable Options SKIPK , It is paramount that the VTA adjustment needs to be changed on the REGA for use with a Dynavector 10X5 (what audio guru are you using? fire him!), so that the rear of the cartridge is up away from the record and the cartridge has a more fo... | |
| Dazed and Confused - Upgrading System But Too Many Options! Treebeard, do yourself a big favor, get a great sounding integrated amp and then look at a Aurender N100 music player (or whatever your budget will allow, Aurender gives you great selection), there ya go! two pieces of gear! AND your hearing some ... | |
| difussor's Be careful here my friend....Too much front wall damping will kill the life of your sound, having a little "bounce" or "Liveliness" is a good thing! Lacking clarity in the system is from the bass crossed over to high so as to muck up the main spea... | |
