| Cartridge choice? Ortofon or Goldring I had the MMF5 and replaced the Goldring with an OM30. I would go that way again; however, if you already have the 1012gx, you should be comparing the cost of an OM30 stylus with that of a 1042 stylus. While the OM30 is better than a 1012gx, it's ... | |
| Best 5 disc cd player for the $ When someone asks "best for the $" I think cheap. the Marantz CC4300 has to be on this list. They can bought on ebay for $130 refurbished by Marantz with 1 year warranty. | |
| Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer I converted about 75 lp's to digital, burned them to CD's and, in the end, it felt like a major waste of time. The process is very labor intensive and not nearly as simple to do well as the software vendors would have you believe.me too. I tried m... | |

| Best way to connect 2 preamps to 1 power amp I've used the method suggested by Rwwear and it works great. Given it costs you nothing, it should be the first thing you try. Assuming your tube amp doesn't have HT passthru, you simply connect the Front channel outputs from your HT pre/pro to o... | |

| Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally I finally had a chance to play the remainder of disc 2 tonight. Holy sh@%!! The light show and guitar solo on "Comfortably Numb" will blow your mind. The problem with this video is my wife complains that the whole house is shaking ;-) | |
| Look for electronic screws - cant find any Herman's advice is probably the best - if Classe has true cusomer support (many/most companies won't deal with screws).If that fails, google "machine screws", or simply "screws". then you can spend hours trying fo find the exact one you're looking... | |

| DC Metro the last meeting we had (to my knowledge) is the one in June, which was the first. We discussed meeting frequency then - agreed that once a quarter was probably right (as I recall, but maybe it was ever other month?). I guess that says we're due f... | |

| Your favorite prog rock music? ? I didn't see the following yet:Mike Oldfield - can't have a list w/o him. All of his are worth having.Robert Wyatt - we have Soft Machine and Matching Mole, but his solo stuff beats both, and the recordings are more "audiophile quality" - Super_ag... | |

| best amp / amps to drive totem mani-2's CJ amps may be a good choice, but just be careful which CJ amp you try. I had a pair of CJ MF2100s diving mine in biamp and found it underwhelming. The best amp I've used with mine is an Eagle 2C (Electron Kinetics). It's rated only at 110 w/c @ 8... | |
| Newbie to audio I'm not sure where to send you regarding amps, though there are many, many options. Someone more familiar with your speakers may need to weigh in, and Evelick's advice is right on. Another suggestion is to look at the most recent tread on the SL20... |
