| 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, ... | |
| First Turntable Advice All of the responses you've received are valid, but I suggest you take advantage of your C2300 MC input - it is one of the very best made. Go with more straightforward table like a Rega RP3 and match it to a low output MC. I'm partial to Dynavecto... | |
| McIntosh Upgrade Beewax is correct; you will hear a substantial improvement. If you use vinyl as a source, ale sure to audition the C2500 preamp, too.Good luck & happy listening! | |
| Best way to integrate analog with digital All of the MX units use multiple DACs. I don't remember how many channels each processor handles, but I seem to recall reading that Mc uses 4 chips. I might have that backwards and each chip is 4 channels. The user manuals are all available online... |
