| Which speakers work close to back wall? The PSB Straus Goldi's retail for $2700 and are well worth that price (although you can find them chepaer new and, of course much cheaper used). PSB recommends at least 3 inches from the back wall and they WILL sound good placed that close. Howeve... | |
| Preamp Matching? I believe what Steve McCormack referred to was that preamps with a less "incremental" gradient in gain control can get out of control quickly with the DNA-225 (and other high outut amps). Ostensibly small changes in the preamp gain can result in H... | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover To clarify, when I mention "I understand", this "understanding" comes from what some have said, not from MY personal experience. Thus, the question to others. | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover I understand that the AI goes through tubes rather quickly and that Sovteks are the only ones that are rugegd enough to "stand tall" for any real length of time. Is this true in anyone's experience? | |
| Static Build Up On Record Surface Yep, any more than 2 spins on my 16.5 causes problems, though a Zerostat will eliminate the static. There is a further discussion of other static sources on the "tech talk" board. | |

| Is this thing for real? I understand that OJ is ordering his custom-made in that distinctive Bruno Magli style. Moreover, and Blue Circle is expanding their offerings to include the entire Imelda Marcos line and has concentrated their efforts on sizing-down the amp so th... | |
| How to clean and play analog reel to reel tapes I couldn't agree more with Scott on this and strongly urge you to follow his advice. I, too, had a similar issue with some audio tape and, later, some old 8mm home movies. After partially ruining one audio tape of my grandmother singing in a weddi... | |
| Tables with no belt change for 45's and 33's? The Nottinghams have the same dual-pulley system that Rcprince mentions in association with the Basis. | |
| Supra Ply 3.4 speakers cables Users? Thanks, my audition pair will arrive tomorrow and will be driven by a McCormack SS amp and a Kora Eclipse (tube/hybrid) preamp. With what are you driving yours? The Kora has mellowed the McCormack beast nicely, so neutrality is what I am looking t... | |
| Need cartridge suggestions for Spacearm carbon I have a NA Tracer #3 on a Spacearm. Have had it now for about 2 months and am nearly ready to post a review on the cartridge after a sufficient break-in time and a few minor tweakings to the setup. Since I have never seen an actual review of the ... | |
| I cut the cord and it paid off. wow! Buying an identical component to replace another in the event that your "fiddling" goes awry? Can you share you hi-fi budget with me, please?! :-) | |
| Seek Tube Amp to Flip-Flop with SS Amp Hi, Garfish. I am hoping others will give suggestions that will help the both of us and will look forward to comparing "notes". I, too, had the ARC VT100 MKII in mind for inclusion on my "initial list".Sibileus: I had not previously given much tho... | |
| Audiomeca Romance TT and Romeo Arm Match the Romeo arm with the Nottingham Spacedeck and you'll have a TechnoShakespeare front-end! :-)I have a Not Speacedeck that I am well pleased with. Would also like to hear of anyone's experience with the Audiomeca. | |
| Which Amp Would You Buy I have a McCoramck DNA-225, which I really like. Anyone compared one to the Aragon? I am intrigued by the 8008BB. |
