| Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used YOu might ba able to find an Atma-Sphere MP-3 used for that. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Duke of Audiokinesis introduced a new speaker at RMAF called the Strato-Prism. This speaker was easy to drive (16 ohms) and has good efficiency and plays deep bass rather well! (in addition to being very musical, cohesive and revealing) Its not as... | |
| OTL Tube Amp for Maggie 3.6? A set of power tubes for a pair of MA-3s is $2000.Wendal Diller told me once that the best he ever heard the MG-20.1s was with a set of MA-2s. Certainly MA-2s have no problem with 3.6s and the like! Years ago a friend of mine ran Tympany 4s with M... | |
| A good Preamp for ST70 Kollert and Hoopster, it seems to me that to do a proper update, its about $900.00. The power supplies are rebuilt, then the circuit boards are updated. The tone controls are removed and the EQ for the phono is updated and moved to the circuit boa... | |
| A good Preamp for ST70 We've rebuilt and updated a lot of PAS-3s and PAS-2s over the years- given it a new line stage, better parts, power supply regulation, stepped volume control and the like.What's fun about that preamp is that if properly updated it can take on any ... | |
| OTL Tube Amp for Maggie 3.6? We've had a lot of people use our MA-1s on the 3.6 to good effect. In fact the moderator of MUG (Magnaplanar User's Group) emailed me a few years back saying that the MA-1 was the best amp for that speaker.However 4est makes a good point about pow... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out Vinyladdict, just for the record (if you will pardon the pun) I have a Westerx LP mastering system, and it does not do any mixing whatsoever of the channels at any frequency, and every attempt is made in the design of the cutter itself to enhance ... | |
| MC loading at 47K This has been covered in other threads. However, in a nutshell there is a simple reason that you see variable results. It has to do with how sensitive the phono section is to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).Now its a fact that at almost any loa... | |
| perfect speakers for atmasphere amp and preamp Well if its any help, Israel had a set of MA-1 MkIIIs up until about a year ago. They work fine with any of his speakers. | |
| Woofer sucking in and out I got rid of woofer excursion by paying attention to the effective mass of the arm/cartridge system. Once that was set up right, I had the added benefit of flawless tracking, in fact a lot of LPs that I thought had some wear turned out to have non... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System It seems that in a live performance one is very rarely (if ever) as acoustically aware of space between musicians or their three dimensionality. My suspicion is that hifi compensates for the visual stimuli that is provided in a live performance wi... | |

| Why do some model names use "MKII"? We have used this nomenclature. Our first lineup did not use the 'Mk I' tag; that got applied after the Mk IIs were introduced. So the Mk I lineup went for about 17 years.The Mk II was the most significant update that we had developed during that ... | |
| Calculating total capacitance Lacee, 200 ohms would be **way** too low! I would start with something much higher, perhaps 20,000 ohms. Certainly you should not experience a drop in volume! If that occurs, you need a higher value. Note that this only applies to moving magnet ca... | |
