| External DAC Ignore the Measurement Brothers.I had a Hegel HD-12 (which I liked) that is said to be very similar in sound character to yours. Moved up to a used Exogal Comet Plus. The latter is much more detailed, textured, and refined sounding with more air a... | |

| Audyssey MultEQ on Marantz av7005 Hi Paul, I assume you already tried setting the center to "Large" on the Marantz GUI? http://file///C:/Users/cross/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe/TempState/Downloads/AV7005_U_EN_UG_v00.pdf Page 78 Interesting that the... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? It is good that you listen to a lot of live music and especially that you enjoy your system. My point is only that you have little to no evident experience with any of the recent digital gear, nor cabling, so it is not helpful to post your opinion... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Everything is stupid at its extreme. These threads you start seem to be aimed at generating contempt toward those that can/do spend a lot of money on audio.I, like many here, don't have that kind of money but have instead spent many years and coun... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? inna,Assigning relative cost structures to equipment is ludicrous. Results vary widely regardless of price and are instead tied to educated equipment matching and proper setup, especially with turntables, tonearms, cartridges, and phono stages. Dave | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Many here are not as students but as colleagues. I trust that you do not treat your colleagues as students, at least not with any success.We have one thing in common: not proned to the upgrade virus, at least not for me in what I call the "Foundat... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? I can only imagine the hours that are spent voicing a top LOMC design and then they are usually built by hand one at a time. This costs money. These are not a commodity to be judged by weight or only cost of materials, although that is quite high ... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hopefully you guys who bought the Black fuse recently did so during the 3 for 2 sale like I did. We got 33% off. Be happy and enjoy your Black fuses!Dave | |
| What's the weak link in my system? willemj,With the confidence that you exude in your opinions on every topic, you should post your system on a Virtual Systems page so we can all see what you have chosen and your experience level. Short of that, we can only hope that your advice is... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Great advice on the digital equalization. Then you can just throw your turntable and LP collection away. lolDave |
