| magnepan Magnepan has long been considered a "best in price range" speaker. What with the Covid years of people not wanting to work and lots of people buying audio gear they simply cannot keep up with orders. Or service. Tough problem to have. | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... You know it ain't over till it's over. It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's something else. [Rosanne Rosanna Danna] | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? Whenever anyone takes a look at my setup [Thorens] they aske to hear some vinyl and I am happy for the interest. I stream 90% of the time, but I do enjoy the old-fashioned stuff too. | |

| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds Class A will usually have a warmer sound signature. My Hegel H390 has a somewhat warm yet nicely articulated sound. I like it paired with my Maggie 3.7's. And yes, class A runs much hotter and takes more juice, even when it's not making music. | |

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I am pretty sure that a lot us us who at retirement age simply cannot tolerate extremely loud rooms [tinnitus related].

| surface noise reduction I do not know how that little piece of thread got stuck to the stylus. I do clean the stylus with that little brush in a bottle, the thread didn't come off with that. So I pulled on it and it came off cleanly. Records sound like they should now. | |
| surface noise reduction After checking all settings and they are correct, I inspected for tonearm angle and tracking weight, which was only a little off, I finally checked the azimuth carefully. What I found was it too was setup correctly, BUT, a fabric fiber was stuck ... | |
| surface noise reduction @atmasphere, you are right. I fiddle-faddled with the loading adjustments until I was satisfied. Took awhile but worth the effort. Yet I might invest in a better cart one of these days. | |
| surface noise reduction Thanks, everyone, for the tips. I will try some of these and reply as soon as I have success. |
