| What should I buy for Dulcets/Harbeth There are a couple of Arcam integrateds up for sale within your price range. They are well-made and sound decent - That's the most you can ask for without spending more, IMO. | |
| Franco Serblin RIP As Louis Black so eloquently stated: "The good die young. Pricks live forever". Franco was a true artist. RIP. | |
| Loss of bass & full spectrum sound Electrical conditions definitely affect the sound. Many people believe their systems sound the best early in the am or late in the pm. Try a good power conditioner, like an Audience. The non-Teflon versions are very good buys on the used market if... | |
| Now what? I think you misinterpreted my comment, or I just wasn't clear. Defective or poorly-made electronics usually demonstrate problems very quickly. Pacific Valve gives you a year warranty. I have never owned any piece of electronic gear that did not br... | |
| Now what? You prefer the Metronome because you are using your ears instead of a spec sheet. Too many people do the opposite. Some of the most highly-regarded digital players use old DAC chips. There is a lot more to a digital player than the chips. I will t... | |
| What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile? "I'm only doing this once...". I've heard that before. IMO, unless you're an expert, if you want vinyl to be as grief-free as possible, I would stick with a modern turntable, purchased from a dealer who can help you with issues that inevitably ari... | |

| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Hi Peter - I have no idea of what Magico's profit margin is for the Q1 over the Mini, but I do know the Q1's cabinet is extremely expensive to manufacture, especially compared to the S5 and the upcoming S1. To me, the Q1s are more coherent and del... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Magico learned a lot between the Mini2 and the Q1. | |
| Pro-Ject 2Xperience Classic or Music Hall mmf 7.1 I think you made a wise choice. The MH tables are very respectable at their price points. I'm not very big on aftermarket tweaks, but IMO, the Herbies mat can make a very significant improvement to MH tables. Send it back if you don't like it. Enj... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? What you're hearing on the Monkees' albums are the best LA studio players, so there is some good playing in there. Excellent playing, actually. Not sure I would enjoy listening to those tunes at this point, but to each his own. | |
| Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade? They are VERY good caps, you know. | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? Lowrider57 - If you've spend a lot of time in the studios then you know that the engineer is usually under pressure by the artist, the producer and the producer's girlfriend to make various alterations to the mix that aren't always positive. Plus,... | |
