| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Trying not to get too verbose, going back into this kind of mind-set by "leaning" on artificial number specifications is a very dangerous road to embark upon. It leads away from the desired end of musical performance to the ear, and leads toward t... | |
| Amplifier Mods A TRL modded McCormack? I've never heard of one, though they did a great thing for my CDP, as well. I have the Platinum mods on my DNA-225 and it is one of the best amps I've ever heard. While TRL is good, I doubt they'll improve on Steve's mods. | |

| Is Direct Drive Really Better? "Are we going to extrapolate that all forms of that type of drive system are then superior to all other forms? Or that no other type of drive system can compete, even at various levels of price?"Isn't that basically what happened with belt-drive?I... | |
| Ayre V-5x vs. McCormack DNA 225 I have a Platinum DNA-225. About the only other amp I would consider is two of them in mono block configuration. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? To my ears it is CD accurate.Sorry, I don't trust audiophiles anymore.Me neither. ;-) | |
| The Isolator: the latest rip-off? BTW what is it?It looks like the foam board that my firm sometimes uses when mounting presentation materials. | |
| You too can own your own record/stereo shop Best of luck to you. | |
| Preamp match for Mccormack DNA-125 Whatever you do, get one with a finely stepped volume attenuator becasue the McCormack can go postal on gain in a hurry if you don't. If a remote is not a must, try a Herron VTSP-1A/166. A perfect match, IMHO. | |
| Is it time to get active? I have McCormack amplification through a Bent NOH passive. Previously I had used a Herron VTSP-1A/166 before going with the passive (and balanced inputs/outputs). If I was going back to active and RCA connections, I'd buy another Herron with the M... | |

| Lenco tables Rick...will give you a call early this week. In and out the rest-o-the-weekend. Albert had one built for him (plinth). He was in the very good but not great category previously. Not sure where he stands now. Keep in mind his system.I will say this... | |
| Lenco tables R, e-mail me with what you want to do. My son and I have built six of them (though many others have built them, too). I'd like to hear one in your system. Maybe building one for you could work out. | |
| ARTICLE -Teens say they prefe vinyl to CDs My teens (one now 20's) prefer vinyl, though they use ipod and cd their places (when the need for portability or convenience over rides sound quality). Pretty pragmatic, I say. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Mr. Chris Brady, you are obviously free to develop and produce any type of table you wish (I am all for research and development), and you may not know the answer to this question, but do you know how the owners of your current belt drive tables f... |
