| What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why The first step in making an LP is cutting a master lacquer. This is done by using a metal stylus attached to a coil placed within a magnetic field. All mounted on a radial-tracking arm. An amplified music signal is connected to the coil and drives... | |
| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations How about that "little giant killer" - the venerable NAD 3020! Years ago I used two of them for the upper range in an active biamp system (one 3020 per channel using just one side of the amp). | |
| speakers with balls Here's a speaker that "rocks out": vintage JBL 166 Horizon! Everybody remembers the L100 Century. The L166 is the far better descendant - notably better highs thanks to its titanium dome tweeter! And the famous high-gauss extended range 12 inch wo... | |
| Suggestions for a cartridge/head for a JVC QL-Y5F Don't sell your JVC TT! It is a good sounding player! I recommend buying the latest production Grado MI cartridge - $100 to $200. That and a careful setup will give you much pleasure listening to LP's! | |
| Cd Player Choices To Match Up to Vintage Electronics How about the California Audio Lab DX-1 and the JVC XL - Z431! Both were favorably reviewed in TAS back in the 80's. I have these two in my collection of vintage CD players. To me they sound fine! | |
| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system I have the Ohm Sound Cylinders. Nothing like the problematic F's! Contact John Strohbeen at Ohm in Brooklyn, NY. He can build you a pair in any finish you desire for a reasonable price! I will say this over and over again: these are AMAZING and R... | |
| Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums Checkout: My Bloody Valentine - Loveless - Isn't Anything - MBV. Kevin Shield's masterpieces going beyond britpop/dreampop! | |
| Amplifier to complete a 7.1 channel system w/great stereo music performance? I too vote for the A21! An excellent choice! | |
| When to recap a late nineties Krell Kav 250 A. If it is working and sounding fine, leave it alone! I have many vintage amps that are still working and have yet to have any caps fail! | |
| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system My Ohm Sound Cylinders don't seem to require much power (Carver TFM 15CB) and sound fine at low volume. I am really impressed by the "holographic" effect they produce even when placed poorly in a room. Unlike ANY conventional box speaker! | |

| American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components Adam Smith's The Wealth Of Nations (1776) postulates that if goods and services can be purchased for less overseas then it is beneficial to import them! | |
| Amp for Amphion Argon 3s I recommend a pair of Spread Spectrum Technology Ampzilla 2000's! The last and final design by the late James Bongiorno. There is an excellent review in The Sensible Sound! | |
| Transcendent Grounded Grid vs Foreplay III Wow! Ten years and NO responses! I know of the Transcendent Grounded Grid preamp from reading about it years ago. Most every tube preamp uses a grounded cathode (resistor and cap) for bias. I don't know if grounding the grid instead has any benef... | |
| Grounded phono interconnects Be sure to run a ground wire from the TT ground to the Phono Box ground! This is to eliminate hum. I do the same on my Pioneer TT. |
