| CJ PV v PV 11 v New Classic Although the Classic resembles the PV-10 series, my understanding is that it is a completly different circuit design. Which one is better for you depends on what sound characteristics you are looking for.I owned a PV-10B many years ago, and I had ... | |

| Best amp/pre or Int under 3G's for Klipsch Forte's These are very versatile speakers, and will be a great match with almost anything as long as you do not overload the horns. Like most Klipsch Heritage speakers, Fortes are a great match with low-powered tube amps. The exact match will depend on yo... | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room Let's face it - if you are into full range music (and who isn't?), small rooms are tough. And frankly, square rooms just suck unless they are very large. Based testing and experimentation in my own lilliputian space, I will take (for example) a 12... | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room A couple of thoughts:1- 12x12 is going to be problematic no matter how much you treat. Try shortening the effective dimensions of the room by adding a bookshelf of LP racks to the back wall (behind you). If you arrange it properly, it will act as ... | |

| Old vs. New I am a big fan of vintage gear. Lot's of it (but not all) does sound warm, lush and less detailed than new gear. I believe that this is mainly due to three factors, listed in order of least to most importance:1- Newer phono cartridges are designed... | |

| Best way to record vinyl to digital? Well, after wasting the better part of this weekend plus several hours over the last two weeks, I am retiring Pure Vinyl v3. I just can't seem to get it to work reliably, and the documentation provided with the demo is almost useless.I will try so... | |
| Cartridge protractor- the best? If you have more than one turntable, several arms or change cartridges often a multi-purpose tool like the Clearaudio or the Feikert is a godsend.For simple alignment tasks or a single turntable, arm & cartridge combination, a simpler tool wil... | |
| Shelter 501 versus Soundsmith Zephr ? I have owned and used both the Shelter 501-II and Soundsmith SMMC1 cartridges your rig - Aries 1 and JMW10 arm. I was not fond of the 501-II stereo cartridge.JMW arm combination. It's not so much that it was bad, as there were other combinations t... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion As much as I enjoy SET amps (and I do!), I must agree with Jrinkerptdnet - moving to a SET amp for the reason you stated seems a little extreme to me. It might be easier to deal with the gain issue. But maybe your amp is just not a good match for ... | |
| LP Cataloging Software? Jnewl,I haven't heard of CD Trustee Professional, but I did try Kix Music Catalog, Catraxx and Collectorz Music Collector. IMHO they all suck; at least for LPs. The online music search catalogs simply take too long - there are either too many choi... | |
| Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge? I have owned many SUTs over the years, from Cinemag to Audio Note and more. IMHO, SUTs built on the Hashimoto transformers sound best with the collection of MC cartridges that I have tried. I suggest that you contact John Parker at Choir Audio. Jo... | |
| Magnepan room treatment This is quite old, from 2003 or so, but I love the way this room looks. I can only assume that is also sounds good, knowing Peter Gunn's reputation as a Magnepan guru.Peter Gunn's Room Tweak |
