PrimaLuna Prologue Premium vs Luxman SQ-N10 ?
"The hum (60 hz I’m guessing) is constant, in both channels, and does not vary with volume or electrical circuit (yes, I've tried a cheater plug)." 
New Mcintosh C-22
I'm using mine as a phono preamp and the sound is making me "giddy"!

The hard core old guard is passing away? 
New Mcintosh C-22
I just purchased a new C22 from a dealer who ordered from Mac. You may be confused with the Anniversary reissue of which only a set limit was made. A call to Mac may straighten this out... 
PrimaLuna Prologue Premium vs Luxman SQ-N10 ?
I used the PL Prologue Premium with KEF dynamic speakers and high efficiency Klipsch La Scallas. The hum is there in both cases although more pronounced with the Klipsch. The hum (60 hz I’m guessing) is constant, in both channels, and does not var... 
PrimaLuna Prologue Premium vs Luxman SQ-N10 ?
I'm currently selling a PL Prologue Premium. The unit I have has low level hum. When I received from former dealer in New York (who swears he tried it "with every speaker in my shop and it didn't hum") I noticed the hum but thought it normal for m... 
ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE
If you are hearing more information from the same vinyl, your new electronics are probably the reason? I'm saying the REF 75se has corrected whatever problem(s) were concealing this revealed sound from you. Try to keep up...  
ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE
Um, same problem different medium. Sorry I didn't spell that out for you. 
ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE
Co93: I believe what you are hearing, in the ARC REF 75se, is stability. The "new" sounds you are hearing have always been there but the instability in your former electronics was masking them. I'm not an EE, so I can't explain the particulars, bu... 
Musical fedelity turntable is crap
Tonearm/cartridge problems will drive you nuts. I'm amazed you could solder such teeny wires. Also, once you buy a budget turntable, you're on your own. I needed my tonearm rewired (circumstances similar to yours) and could not find anyone, includ... 
After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc
Without knowing anything about your room configuration, I'd suggest moving speakers 90 degrees to the next wall. If on the long wall, rotate to the short wall, etc. 
After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc
Owned Proac 3.8s a while ago but they needed to play at a volume my apartment neighbors didn't care for. Wondering if you listened to Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT? 
McCoy Tyner
Chesky Records made some good recordings of McKoy Tyner live (Vinyl and CD). 
Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic
It looks like speaker designer's first priority these days: Can it be shipped by UPS? 
New Mcintosh C-22
I used my fresh-from-the-factory C22 yesterday for the first time. Using for phono duties with a VPI Classic 2/Blackbird combo. First impressions very positive! I purchased because it has tone controls! I don't listen to vinyl that much and want t...
