| Where to rack a McIntosh 275 amp IMO, I'd be a little uncomfortable w the rack being so top-heavy. Not in terms of a collapse, but of it being unstable and easily knocked over. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz MapmanThis would be really strange were it to turn out Calvin and Dave really are the same guy.Especially if it turned out that Calvin couldn't find Dave's house! | |
| In defense of ABX testing Nonoise- I hope you took my post in the (playful) spirit that was intended. Not sure I'm ready to go the vegetarian route, but you are correct; this horse surely has been sufficiently beaten. | |
| In defense of ABX testing NonoiseOne can't have a universal truthIf you are correct, Nonoise, apparently that would mean that you are also incorrect;-), which means that there can be a universal truth????? Perhaps one of our resident philosophers can chime in. Nandric, are... | |

| ARC Galileo GSPre vs ARC Reference 5 SE ? .... Given what ARC charges for tubes and their warranty policy for units not tubed w "their" product, you could also add lucrative retube revenues to Gpgr4blu's theory, which also seems very reasonable. | |
| amps,pre amps HELP Corin- If you get the Audioengine speakers you mentioned in the other thread, then all you need is the jolida phono stage. The A5+ speakers are powered w volume control. | |
| Desktop Monster as compact as possible If you're willing to wait til they show up used, I'd recommend the NHT M00 powered monitors w S00 powered sub. They will go LOUD and the sub will give you mucho bass if you want. | |
| new to this Corin- Both of those appear to be integrated amps; a pre-amp and power amp in one chassis. The Rotel seems to have a pre-amp output so you could use that to drive powered speakers but you'd be "wasting" the amplifier section. I can't tell if the F... | |
| new to this The Audioengine speakers have an amp built in along w volume control, so you would only need a phono stage aka phono pre-amp, if you are only going to use that one source. Give us a budget and we can make some recommendations. If you plan to conne... | |
| If you have ever bought anything from HSU research @Martykl- your mistake was not heeding the advice of the great sage Ron White (and I quote):"You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever." | |
| Volume differs a lot for different inputs? Mofi is correct. The maximum output from a phono cartridge is typically between 0.25 and 5 millivolts. The max output from a CD player is typically around 1-2 volts, or roughly 1000X higher. In addition, the frequency response of an LP is modified... | |

| The end of pono? Whoa, I was really freaked out for a second. I thought this was about the end of porno!!!! My BP went to 1000 for a minute there. Better now. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Well, well, well. Ddr has access to literature from HF Cables that is "not out yet". Does that give you any more information about his relationship to the manufacturer? I will agree w him on one point. The "simpler explanation" is decidedly non-sc... |
