| How many hours weekly do you listen to your system We don't own a TV, so some sort of audio is going on in our house pretty much 100% of the time we're home. The big rig is on every evening and all day most weekends, table radio in the kitchen for morning and afternoon news, bedroom system all nig... | |

| NAD 116 - MM phono stage not working Your preamp has separate MM and MC inputs, and you had your MM cartridge connected to the MC inputs. Thus, no sound when switched to MM and overloaded, distorted sound when switched to MC.Was I right?:-)David | |
| Why spend megabucks on a tuner? You don't have to live in a big city. Eugene, OR has 4 terrific FM stations, all public and locally owned. KLCC is owned by Lane Community College, is the NPR station, plays an eclectic mix every weekday with specialty shows all nights and weekend... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Actually, here's the real answer:http://denon.jp/company/release/dp1300_500.htmlRun through Babelfish, it outlines a better DD motor, better tonearm with upgraded wiring, and bigger, heavier base.Two interesting things: the release date for both t... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Here's the Japanese Web page for the DP-1300MKII:http://denon.jp/company/release/dp1300mk2.htmlI ran it through Babelfish and it still doesn't make it clear what the differences are from the DP-500M. In fact, the picture is clearly identical, as a... | |
| Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm? 240z4u,If your phono preamp is set at 50dB, you may be overloading your system. The Shure has a 4mv output, so the KAB gain calculator says 38dB gain is optimal. Depending on the gain in the rest of your system, 50dB could be too high. If your pho... | |
| Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm? 240x4u,I always had the screws exactly perpendicular to the arm tube. That was the way it was pictured in the instructions I had. I considered turning it a bit to alter the anti-skating, but decided that the extra half twist in the lines made more... | |
| Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm? I bought my Well Tempered Record Player from Schipo during my Year In New York, and I believe he's correct. While I never tried the arm on a suspended table, I can't believe that it would be a good match. Any suspension movement would be counterac... | |

| Stanalog - Still in business ? Having owned a Well Tempered and having dealt with George more than once, communication with him can be maddeningly slow at times. I don't think he has a secretary or any staff - I'm pretty sure it's just him. Of course, that's no excuse for poor ... | |
| Best Used SET tube amp. under $1000 I realize it's an SEP rather than an SET, but my Almarro A205A MkII sounds great with my Druids, and even with new tubes and upgraded output caps comes in well under $1K. It includes a volume control if you need it in your single source scenario.D... | |

| Best 27' speaker stands? Aren't the LSA1s very similar to the Von Schweikert VR-1s? If so, I highly recommended the VR stands. I owned a pair when I had my VR-1s, and they were both very solid and very stylish for not much money. There are a couple pairs sale right now - ... | |
| Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 Viridian is completely wrong on this one! The best gravy is my mother's roast beef gravy, over barely mashed potatos with a little pepper. If there's an audiophile gravy, it's my mother's.:-) |
