| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? @waytoomuchstuff - those were the good times! I was finishing my main power wiring in a hurry, did not measure the battery to fuse holder lead, ended up just an inch longer than regulation. Lost 5 points, ended up in 9th place. Arghh! My system... | |
| What is Your End Game System? My end game setup, including the room would be centered around top of the line MBL speakers. If I can't afford those, then one notch down in MBL lineup - 101 E vs. 101 xtreme in current lineup. A good tube preamp would be next, and 101 Es have v... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? Those blue meters do a lot of selling for Mcintosh. I own MC-452 and I enjoy it's sound, but I don't think I would base a car purchasing decision, especially in $100k range based on what kind of sound system is installed. I remember back in my c... | |
| Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000 D-Sonic M3a-1200S. 2 X 800 into 8 Ohm, $1975. | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system Hi!I am almost exactly with @panzrwagn, you'll be hard pressed to do a lot better than NAD C338. At this budget integrated do-it-all amp makes sense, and it does not get much more do-it-all than C338. Bluetooth, streamer, extra input(s), and whe... | |
| DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ? @billwojo So, simply increasing the downforce will not acheive same effect? I was planning on researching and using Nasotec Swing headshell, which weighs 11.5 grams. 18 grams is a lot! Thoughts? Link below:https://highend-electronics.com/produ... | |
| DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ? @yogiboy - There is enough gain on the highest setting - 60db on Tube Box to make it work, but anyone who dealt with DL-103 will tell you that to extract most performance out of it you need a SUT, preferably the one designed specifically for a low... | |
| DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ? Thanks everyone!For what it's worth, I by no means am saying that just because two components are "placed in the same class" by Stereophile (or anyone reviewing anything for that matter) that they are equal. IMHO reviewing is subjective by nature... | |
| DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ? Hi!First of all, thank you for your magnificently forward response. I need a beer now, preferably two.This cart is loved and recommended by many, even stock version is Stereophile Class C recommended component (this month’s issue, just showed up y... | |

| MartinLogans and Cary CAD-805s / electrostats and SET amps @georgehifi Thanks, George! So basically, I am looking for a high-current SS amp to drive MLs, more or less the opposite of SET, correct? | |
| Best CD player under $2000 Cary DMC-600. You should be able to find a used one for right around $2K, although they don't come up for sale very often. If you see a DMC-600SE used for around $2K buy it right away - it has upgraded caps, etc. in the analog path and external c... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? I own a pair of Peter Gunn modified MG-12s, and I am very happy with them. They still require a ton of power, but efficiency goes up about 3 db with a new upgraded crossover. Placement is still key, and room is still your biggest enemy. One of ... | |
