| Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88 You might think about getting a subwoofer so you can control the low frequency volume independently of your left/right speakers. Works for me. | |
| Krell S-150M Mono Blocks One of the things I believe Krell always does is under-rate the watts and if you look at the high current capabilities (doubling of watts from 8 to 4 ohms) I don't think clipping or speaker matching will be a problem. I did look at the Music Direc... | |
| McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's? Everything you are considering would make a wonderful/spectacular surround system. I really would go for the MC402 from what you are saying. Programing becomes the key here. How many BD/DVD discs with more than 5.1 discrete channels will you be pl... | |
| Cartridge life really only 3 years?? I have never counted the total number of sides played with any cartridge I've owned. Does anyone count or do we all just average? How expensive is a proper scope? Audiofeil, how many times have you retipped your cart?Not really on the subject here... | |
| Krell S-150M Mono Blocks Have had Krell in the past but have not heard these units. I'm writing to say that Music Direct will let you try these for 30 days and if I were in the market.... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice I've read good things about Rega, Musical Fidelity, Project, etc as great starter's. I'm using a moving magnet pickup and the phono stage in my preamp with great results. MM as you know is a great value but there are very good step up transformers... | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever Listen to Bob Parlocha at night on KCSM dot org or go to jazzwithbobparlocha dot com to find other stations. You'll get a fantastic jazz education in record time. I recommend the book by James Lincoln Collier "Jazz, The American Anthem". | |
| Speakers on floor? Mapleshade has very good advice on their website and they back it up with a money back guarantee. The low height and tilt back set-up has to do with the Allison Effect (floor boundry bass reinforcement) and time alignment (think Vandersteen or Thi... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Vinyl is the best value IMO for increasing your music library. Most of what you'll run across when looking for used vinyl is not available on CD/SACD. Vinyl adds a completely different dimension to our hobby if your not participating in it present... | |
| McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's? No doubt the MC402 is a better stereo amp (love my MC352). So, the question is, are you ever going to have a dedicated 2-channel system? Do you have another room for one? Etc. The MC303 has balanced inputs. Can you include a Back Channel into your... | |
| Sub for Totem Arros As long as you can adjust the EQ to the room and the low pass filter to your speakers there are many to choose from. I chose Velodyne. | |
| McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's? Yes you have options. The MC 303 would allow you to have a back channel speaker as well as a pair of surround speakers. You haven't said what pre/pro you have but if it allows that hook-up and you have the ability to individually adjust the speake... | |

| Tips for buying used Vinyl needed Cleaning is mandatory. I use a Nitty Gritty f1.5 and it does the job. I make my own cleaning solution so I'm not concerned about cost of fluids. We have a Half Price Book Store which carries a good supply of vinyl and tons of CD's. The best part i... | |
| "American Sound" Speakers The most direct answer is this: The British sound was developed at a particular moment in time, by a particular scientific study, paid for by a particular government. This study presented facts and numbers in no uncertain terms and has had a great... |
