| Whats playing on your system today? I live pretty far from most of the radio towers, but this station is pretty close and I get a good signal. I have a big roof mounted antenna for the far away stations, but it's apparently pointed in the wrong direction for the local station, so m... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I picked up a Magnum Dynalabs FT101A Etude not too long ago. Slow day at work, rocking out to Olympia's Classic Rock 100.3. | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? Craig,You could try things in steps and see what you think of the sound for yourself. If you like what you're hearing with what you already have, you don't necessarily need to go down a rabbit hole.First, get some Blue Jeans cables that are of a ... | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. uber, I found them easy to listen to and if you decide you'd like to try something else, they're easy to move. I've tried a couple of different Monitor Audio speakers and they were too bright for me also. Let us know how they work out over time. | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? The Marantz is a home theater processor and has a lot of electronics stuffed into one box. It's good at a lot of things, but not great at anything including two channel music reproduction. I have a separate two channel preamp (a Modwright LS100)... | |

| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. I had some Haydn Grands and liked them at first, but they were lacking treble (too warm) and kind of boring (not very dynamic) after listening to them for a while. They are pretty. I had them in my bedroom, and maybe that was too large of a spac... | |

| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? A couple of thoughts.You might be getting lost in the weeds a bit with all this talk about impedance matching. The Nagaoka cartridges are MM cartridges and they should work with most any MM phono preamp. Unless you get something really exotic, m... | |
| The Music Room In my viewpoint some people feel entitled and complain loudly when the world doesn't live up to their expectations. | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/how-good-is-the-marantz-phono-stage.686895/I believe I was reading this! That discussion was about the Marantz two channel integrateds, which are different beasts from their surround sound proces... | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? Not a dumb question and your assumption is correct. You can use any of the other inputs but the phono input. If you use the phono input you'll be amplifying the signal and then amplifying it again and you'll probably get a nasty noise coming out... | |
| The Music Room I'm a certified public accountant, somewhere along the line after many years of experience I have finally learned the very hard to understand fact that the a dealer needs to make a profit. The only reason I thought about selling it to TMR is to n... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Leonard Cohen - Thanks For The Dance, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| The Music Room If you want to get the most from your used gear, sell it yourself. If you sell it to a dealer, they need to make a profit on it and are going to pay you a lot less. How hard is that to understand? It sounds like they were pretty transparent wit... |
