| Antique Sound Your question is best directed at www.head-fi.org. As for me, I like this amp, http://www.rockhopperaudio.com/ look at the Millett. | |
| Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun. Yes, that one looks sweet and fun but it is marked "sale pending". | |
| Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise S7, no version 1. The amp tends to congeal at rather moderate levels, I should give you more specifics, but I will not be home to take out my sound level meter tonight. Sounds fine on small jazz and folk and female vocal, OK on moderate progrock l... | |
| Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun. So far, kind of dead ends. To address the suggestions in order, the Creek power amps are kind of rare, the integrateds are much more common, currently none listed. Hafler, under consideration and I have a friend with an Amber so a loan may be in o... | |
| Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun. Wow, thanks so much for all of the great advice, I am overwhelmed! Oh, and thanks as well for not suggesting that I modify whatever I buy to battery power and install binding posts made of coral from a small atoll off Thailand. So does anyone have... | |
| Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise I don't own one, but currently have a Complete Alpha on loan from another Audiogonner, so at least I speak from experience. It really doesn't have enough punch to drive my 89db sensitive Paradigm Studio 20 mini monitors in an 8'X12' spare room. Ni... | |
| What is distortion due to? First, it is probably a fairly serious problem, when the stylus loses contact with the groove wear is accelerated on both the cartridge and record. You say that it is not anti-skate, but have you put a twist in the wire from the tonearm to achieve... | |
| Cartridge Advice Sought Max, it's kind of a bad answer, but experience guides me in this one. Linn pretty much taught us all in the early 1970s that a very inexpensive cartridge on a very good turntable will sound way, way better than the other way around. Right now, you... | |
| What is distortion due to? Tough one. If it is more prominent in one channel than the other, then anti-skate needs to be adjusted. You did not say if you have a JMW-9 or Signature, but this is certainly the place to start. If all is well in anti-skate world, and I don't thi... | |
| Do any of you fear dismantling your setups? I don't fear anything other than running out of single malt scotch or spending another two weeks in the Betty Ford Clinic. | |
| cartridge ideas $200-$300....... Nice arm Chad. I guess that it would be a bit obvious to suggest the Grado Sonata, which will sound great in that arm. Nice alternatives would be the Dynavector 10x5 for a high output MC and the Audio Technica ATOC9mkll for a low output MC. The Gr... | |
| Cartridge Advice Sought Max, respectfully disagree, very nice rig, but the table/arm combo is the weak point. I would suggest resisting the urge to upgrade and saving for a better table and arm even if it takes a year or so. Additionally, a record cleaning machine would ... | |
| The best mid priced Grado In your opinion? Joe Grado, he could really sing opera with the best of them. The kid isn't quite as bright nor as well priced. | |
| is it just me, new Steely Dan cd's too brite snare Truth in advertising dude! The name of the band isn't "Rolled Off Dan". | |
| What the heck is that thing? I just read his comedy column in Stereophile. |
