| Affordable SS Integrated for Merlin TSMs I don't know about sound quality but I have seen some 60 watt (.1% distortion at 8 ohms and 60 watts .01 at 40 watts into 8 ohm) from Honk Kong outfit called HLLC (just search T amp),That's way cheaper than a Redwine 30 watt.T amps have tonal qual... | |
| JMW 9" Tone arm setup.................help You might be interested on recent thread concerning arm height changing sound after you have set up.Chazz | |
| Fullrange Speaker for Quicksilver Silver 70's Always find it strange when one has a amp and looks for speaker to drive it.Always think it should be one before the other and sources with complimenting character(cleanest source cables to lighten darken etc).But if you like the Forests you get a... | |
| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? I'd say if your snorting or burning the rock your audio gear (and your car,house,and wife and kiddies) will all be down the pike soon anyway.Unless your Kieth Richards circa 1973. or one of Maddow's clients who goes to his local ATM in Zurich.Mayb... | |
| 128kbps AAC files... Looking through archives for PC users I see now they have a Windows 9 format that seems to be like AAC.Chazz | |
| MP3 conversion rate suggestions For that you should look into various sites for those who have compared.I only want on computer 320 or FLAC but have heard that a 192/256 VBR is hard to distinguish on a average stereo let alone a portable.Chazz | |
| possible vpi scout tweak? Interesting in that it's almost like points/cones under a piece of gear.But what does not make sense is that goal of many arm designs is to minimize points where items could vibrate and making arm a solid a one piece design with few couple points.... | |
| Denon 3806 + B&W 803D....amp suggestions??? I sold Nautilus and they can have a nasty impedance dip so a decent 200 watt amp would be in order.Some think them a bit dry but others love the Class D sound and watts for bucks the Wyred amp is hard to beat.Runs cool and won't need second mortga... | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 Yeah.Unless you want all the bells and whistles on a big buck section (EAR 324.Aesthetixs Rhea,Manley Steelhead,AR PH&) etc you have a really good section according to Fremmer et al one of the best out there.If not cart swapping or using secon... | |
| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? They are there because they sell a lot of them and you know we want strawbery one day chocolate or vanilla the next.I own and EAR 40 watt but think my buiddy has a much better amp in his Cary 80 which he has upgraded to F1.There are really good in... | |

| Phono pre-amps with volume control P.S. lower priced king was EAR 834 and still a good choice (can be upgraded by factory tech Mitch Singerman).Can't remember how low it goes but also think if your going to use MC verus MM (they come in all prices).PS without a strong amp and speak... | |
| Phono pre-amps with volume control Stock PS is $1K ($750 used or new if you look).Then one can step it up to PCX or Cullen mods for another $750.Won't touch EAR 324 (not sure if that has volume).Steelhead is the best at $4k used and you ge one line level input but you gotta pay.You... | |
| Best speakers for Pathos Classic One MKIII ? Joe is right but matching a $1500 great value amp to $8K speakers might be mismatch in funds.But Joe is right.Brit sound?Like Harbeth?Merlin is fine speaker though MM is tube oriented and latest MX is said to be SS.You have enough power.Verity is ... | |
