Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
Define "good" and define "cheap"......I auditioned speakers 2 months ago and heard an Ayre AX-7 60wpc amp, a $2950 int amp, this was powering the speakers I ended up buying. They can keep that Ayre amp, it was muddy with no definition...nothing ex... 
Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
My C356BEE has powered very nicely, my Epos Epic 2 which are 90dB 4ohm speakers, superb sounding combo!! I now have Rega RX5 speakers and still the NAD does not falter. Nice big sound, clean and with tremendous low end....The C375BEE is interestin...

What's going on with the audio market?
I'm 52, started in hifi at around 18, ??.I have been saying/feeling this for the past 3-4yrs now. Audio gear pricing has been increasing for no reason at all, other than greed by audio companies. If you want to stifle sales of anything, just raise... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Thanks oregonpapa and melm.....Waiting to hear from both LPTunes and LPGear as to when they will have new stock. If not will look at buying from Japan seller....makes my tummy queasy thinking about that :( 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
LP Gear emailed me back saying they were out of stock......My only issue with Japan buying is that AT-USA will not warranty them...That seems like a big gamble to me.

Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge

Skewed cantilever - Opinions?
Also if you have not looked at the stylus, do that. Looking at it head on with a higher power jewelers loupe or magnifying glass. Check to see if it is also skewed along with the cantilever, if so then probably a mfg issue, these carts are hand ma... 
Best gain setting on phono pre- low/medium/high?
I used to run my phono gain at 60dB......with the KAB calculator I set it at 56dB and find the sound much more appealing. 
Skewed cantilever - Opinions?
Send AT Customer service an email..explain your issue, assuming you bought from an authorized AT seller. They may ask you to send it to them for an inspection, they will either repair it or replace it under warranty. If bought from non-auth dealer... 
Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector?
Connect a earth wire. If you have some video cables try those as they are shielded. Remember you need shielded cables from your TT because the signal from the cartridge is so small that many things can affect the sound. It also depends how close t... 
Azimuth question
So to revive an old thread......I use a downloaded o-scope with the Analogue Test Record. I play Track 1, 1kHz tone in each channel, then switch back and forth between L and R on the o-scope and make adjustments to get as close to same reading as ...

Thanks tablejockey.....of course I have CTTE, I have the original version as well as the Friday Music half speed remaster by Joe Reagoso. That is exactly the spot of that song I tend to listen to, the original is so distorted sounding which is fin...
