| Pro-Ject turntables I have read that the Pro-ject tonearms are very sensitive to microphonics. The Oracle Paris used one(9CC) but it was modified(silicone damped) to resolve this problem. | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers IMO to many in "HEA" devalue the importance of the speaker. Yes, I agree "garbage in garbage out" but putting 10k+ of electronics to extract every last nuance of a compromised $2k speaker is wasteful spending. My best advice is to go one or two st... | |
| Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig Noromance-Has the "Statute of Limitations" expired in your state? | |
| Dynavector 20xH - Boring Presentation? Livin 262002-I also agree the Rega P2 is the weak link in your system. IMO a used P7 would be a better way to spend $1500+ then on a cartridge. | |
| Apartment Drama +2(Frogman's 4-3 post). You will always catch more flies with honey then vinegar! Whenever you have unhappy people in a confined living area any disturbance will usually be blown out of proportion. My best advice is try to politely reason with thi... | |
| Pro-Ject turntables Dave72-I demoed a 9.1 several years ago when I was getting ready to jump back into vinyl and it sounded better(not as thin) then the entry level Rega's(P3/5)at the time. Can't remember what cartridge was used but it was relaxed yet focused. | |

| the magic of power cords Until the vast majority of audiophiles consider all cables as another audio component, this nonsense will continue! | |
| What hooked you to audio? Peer Pressure! | |
| What great speakers can buy direct? Buy the Magnepan MMG and have them modified by Peter Gunn. This leaves about $4k left for sub(s)or upgrading electronics. | |
| Revel F208s vs Cremona M vs B&W 803/804 D If you plan on keeping your electronics the SF Cremona M might be less sensitive to the pre/power amps flaws. | |
| Rembering the 80s: College Rock Frank Allison and the Odd Sox and the Junk Monkeys were very popular local college(Detroit/AA area) bands during the mid-late 80's. FWIW I was much more interested in Mozart, Marsalis and Metallica at that time. | |
| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT IMO the 12x12 room could be the cause. Temporarily relocate the speakers/system to your largest room. This could help you pinpoint the problem. Does the smearing get worse with increased volume? If the smearing still occurs in a larger room(with i... | |
