| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp The system built around the tube amps will be completely separate from the home theater. It will be in a completely different room that will likely be set up primarily for listening to records through this specific system. My main living space, wh... | |
| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp millercarbon,The funny thing is that before the amp appeared I’d been upgrading and modifying my home theater system with an eye towards simplifying it, at least operationally. That was how I ended with with the B&O turntable. There certainly ... | |
| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp At a price like that, the Time Windows sound like a tempting option. | |
| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp Price point: Entry level. Think someone who's trying to dip their big toe into this world. I'm sure the Devores are wonderful, but they are well outside the realm of possibility.Size of room: Roughly 18'x10'x9'Sonic Presentation: I don't know that... | |

| Low output from B&O RX2 2/ SMMC4 Cartridge Thank you for the response. It's certainly as detailed as I could ask for.Had this have been a choice between a built in stage on the turntable itself, I'd definitely have been using a discrete preamp already, but I was trying to go with that of t... | |
| Low output from B&O RX2 2/ SMMC4 Cartridge Fair enough. Unfortunately, a MM cartridge is not an option with the RX2. The SMMC carts are the only choice.I was hoping to avoid it, but it sounds like the external phono stage is my only option if I want to go above a "mildly moderate" level,... | |
| Low output from B&O RX2 2/ SMMC4 Cartridge Unfortunately, it is not switchable... Looking at the input sensitivity spec on the receiver it states:3.5 mV/47 kΩ (PHONO MM)If I were to make an assumption that this could explain the lower output that I'm experiencing, would I be barking up a c... |
