| Shelter 90X Tracking Force Recommended tracking force range is 1.4 to 2.0 grams. At 1.9 grams you are within the range and probably are fine, but the optimum will depend upon the effective mass of the arm and cartridge combination. | |
| Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs? Veloceracing, at the risk of being dogmatic, I _strongly_ recommmend breaking in the amps 24/7 with music playing, not cycling the power. You've probably broken them in a good bit but perhaps not as effectively as running them around the clock (no... | |
| Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs? If your JC-1s aren't yet broken in, I suggest you haven't heard them. Play music through them around the clock. Volume level doesn't matter (just not zero), nor does high or low bias setting. They will become much more agile, dynamic, sweet, and e... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Hdm, your figures are off a bit. The Loricraft PRC3 is $1895. | |
| Audio Grade fuses I recommend a 3 amp fuse, not a 4 amp, where the original value is 3.25 amp. It is prudent to err on the conservative side.Brian | |
| Next Turntable Congratulations, Whart! You will be very happy. What cartridge will you be using?Brian | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Braro, thanks for the email and hope you don't mind my posting thoughts here. I have no experience with the Supratek Chenin preamp and am curious how it works driving the JC-1s, nor am I familiar with the Audioquest Cheetah interconnects from Wadi... | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Braro, it would be interesting to know what the rest of your system is, to put your comments in context.Brian | |
| Need help choosing spkrs I've never heard I strongly recommend traveling to hear the speakers you're considering, rather than blindly spending thousands of dollars on something you've never heard and may not like. By the way, did you mean Monday 3/13 or Friday 3/17? What's the rush?Brian | |

| I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing Good story I can relate to, Phil ;-) On the other hand, there are countless wonderful places to go in Chicago, and for the most part the people are just as wonderful.Brian | |
| I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing Aktchi - yes, I'm in the northwest suburbs, but don't hold it against me :-) Actually there aren't too many places in our fair city I don't care to visit - can't say that about a lot of other cities. As for what I sell, you could take a look on my... | |
| I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing Philnyc: It goes without saying that it helps to be home when someone shows up, especially in some areas ;-) There's a saying, "In Chicago, walking will keep you healthy, but running can save your life." |
