| Preamp recommendation $300: see desired features The Rotel RC1070 can be had for $300-350 and has a "contour" switch, not tone controls, and is defeatable.It has a nice phono, tape, remote. I don't recall if it has a headphone jack though. Another option that is worth considering is a Sherwood-N... | |
| Noisy Bellari VP 129? you're a man of action. Excellent. was the Cambridge plug n play (ie w/o noise)? As I mentioned, I had the issue with 2 different outboard phonos. | |
| Noisy Bellari VP 129? by RCA to RCA, I mean connect an RCA Cable from one to one of the outer ground sleeves of the Belari, to one on the preamp. I don't recall if the Belari has any extra RCA's that are unused when your table is connected - but if not use an aligator ... | |
| Noisy Bellari VP 129? I had a Bellari and this exact problem. After calling Bellari tech support, sending the unit back to them twice I determined it was a grounding issue between the Bellari and the Preamp. Try this:Make a jumper using a cheap interconnect cable such ... | |
| VU Meter Lamps If you're referring to the original 400 S1 lamps - there use to be a guy on ebay selling them. I also picked up some from one of the electronic supply houses (I think it was Mouser). I don't recall off hand - but think they are 6V. The problem wit... | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen Since this thread started I picked up the "Basquiat" soundtrack, and several other John Cale cd's. Like them all. I also have KD Lang "Hymns of the 49th Parallel" - which has many excellent covers. The Cale and Lang versions are great, but I prefe... | |
| my tt skips I had a similar problem. I finally determined that the bearing was bad. In my case it required me to buy another arm to make the determination (after trying everthing else I could think of including lubing the bearing). I'm not sure if there's any... | |
| 2-channel listening with a sub-woofer I'm running a Rel Storm III with Totem Mani-2's and it integrates perfectly. I previously ran the Rel with Totem Sttaf's (prior to upgrading to Mani) and it was also a beautiful combination. The Mani's have much deeper bass than Sttafs so the sub ... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll " . . . and if you're a Flying Burritos and Gram Parker fan you have absolutely gotta' listen to "Return of the Grevious Angel" which is an incredible compilation put together by Emylou Harris."ok, I have many some of the artists recommended here... | |
| Class A power amp will give the best BASS SLAM? Bedini 100.100. It blow me away what it did whan I mated it with my Infinity Monitor IIa's (they are table flat to 22Hz). I had tried 10 other amps with them, and none brought the low end to life like the Bedini. | |
| Center channel to match GMA Europa's why not another pair of Europas?, or one-half of a pair anyway at least? Is the form-factor (ie upright stance) a problem? | |
| Newbie looking for cheap dependable table Given your system, and budget, I think you may be better off skipping the Music Hall MMF-5 and going to something more - such as the VPI, MMF-7, or Linn mentioned above, or something else in that class (sorry, I don't have any specific recommendat... | |
| Dual duty and LOUD I was just about to recommend Von Schweikert and noticed DRIVER's post. I have the VR4 gen III's (bought DRIVER's) so here's an endorsement of his comments. They're a great rock speaker. There may still be new SE's available for your budget, but y... | |
| One Subwoofer out, two subwoofers use a splitter. it will not be a problem, and it's easy, cheap. | |
| Musical Subwoofer for 2 Channel System BUT.... Rel S series work best (IMO) when connected to speaker outputs. I have a Storm III, and Storm I; both very musical. Search on "Rel" and you'll find many many endorsement of the Rel Strata III and Storm III. the Strata III can be found used for und... |
