| McIntosh MA5200 It always surprises me when people don't check the manufacturer's documentation that is available online at no cost. The manual for MA5200 clearly states in three places that the MA5200 is designed for speakers with an impedance rating of 8 ohms. ... | |
| Why are records still warped? OP here - + 1 to WPC. A thorough and exact explanation of why it still happens with such alarming regularity. Thank you.Also, I appreciate Lowrider's input. I knew there also had to be a business philosophy behind the bad attitude. Losing money su... | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. +1 Al. Thank you. Check out Roger Russell's views on the subject here: http://www.roger-russell.com. | |
| National Record Store Day is Saturday April 18th Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find a leftover that wasn't sent back. | |
| Amplifier to power JBL Voice of Theater Speakers Mechans is spot-on. Altec Lansing made the VOTT (woofers and the large horns only). Either way, tube power would be best. I'd suggest McIntosh MC275 or perhaps a pair of MC40 or MC60 mono units. Both are extremely efficient, so caution with maximu... | |
| How effective is the ultrasonic V-8 lp cleaner? I've been using my V8 for about a year and have been very satisfied with the results. Records that appeared ruined from fingerprints and other contamination came back very well indeed. A few came back well enough to be played on my high-end table ... | |
| National Record Store Day is Saturday April 18th @ Atmasphere: Which Eno LP? Is it available generally or was it an RSD-only release? I missed RSD this year, had too many chores. | |
| High End cartridges and the built quality I had a pair of new Dynavector 17D3s fail due to quality issues. One was a cracked cantilever and the other was a failed internal wire at the contact pin. That failure wasn't isolated until the cartridge was one month out of the warranty period. D... | |
| Why are records still warped? Edit above: "Storage, methinks, is not as much of a much." Sorry, proof-reading is not my strongest suit. | |
| Why are records still warped? Spot-on, Bdp24. We know better, spend the bucks, know how to be squeaky wheels when quality is poor, so why?For those interested, I use a Sota Reflex clamp. Works well but ca't fix ripples or a dish. My Graham/DV combo tracks warps superbly, but t... | |
| SOTA I-clamp vs Reflex clamp I have both, and use the Reflex exclusively on my Sapphire. I tried the I-Clamp on my PL-15D, and it just didn't work all that well on that, either. Went with an old Audiocraft SD-600 clamping weight for the Pioneer - much more satisfactory. In ge... | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MK2 vs Shelter 901 MK2 All the previous advice is spot-on, especially Brf's comment regarding VTA. I love my DV - neutral, balanced and very rewarding when properly set up. Let us know what you decide and good luck! | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and badge engineering or private labeling are time-honored ways to offer a branded product that fills a gap in the overall line. Virtually all producers of all product classes use them. Some people prefer Lexus... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Taters, you might want to take a closer look at the "meter" (singular) on the MT-10. You'll discover it isn't.Don't get me wrong; if you don't like what it looks like, that's why there are all those other manufacturers out there. | |
| First Turntable Advice @Lowrider - I suggested the RP3 because it is a good, basic table that maintains speed well, has no frills and can be upgraded or swapped out without serious financial consequences. Also leaves room for vinyl accessory must-haves like protractor, ... |
