| Best Preamp for me Matt has made a solid suggestion with McIntosh. Audition a C2500 for a single chassis tubed solution with integral 32/192 DAC or a C500 dual-chassis system (no DAC, but you can get a choice of tube or SS). A final way to go might be the C1000, but... | |
| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs Thank you, Garebear & Shubert. You can take the people from Syracuse but you can't take Syracuse from the people! | |
| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs Syracuse has had some great jazz and blues acts over the years. We think it's because of all that snow. Kind of like the Italian food and pizza there, nothing else to do in the winter. We go back at least once a year, usually at New Year's, to rem... | |
| BEST TONEARM FOR HIGH COMPLIANCE MM Ralph has answered a puzzlement for me. My Unitrac cut one of the ground wires twice, and it couldn't be properly repaired or rebuilt the second time. Magnepan had stopped servicing them and the guy I ended up trying to work with couldn't get the ... | |
| Clean new recording? Agree w/ Mofi, but the stuff that needs removing on new records is the mold release agent. There are several fluids specifically designed for the purpose and available through places like Needle Doctor. Happy listening! | |
| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs Sadly, you are experiencing the reality of modern recordings. We first saw Joey Bonamassa when he was 12 years old at the Beginning II in Fremont NY during one of his dad's gigs. We have Driving Towards the Daylight on CD along with the Albert Hal... | |
| Help me improve Rega P2 A cartridge will make the biggest single difference. Second the 2M Red or perhaps Blue; excellent values. Also worthwhile would be a good cartridge protractor and a large, strong bench magnifier. Pro-Ject makes a nice protractor that also has stro... | |
| XLR vs RCA I'd always used RCA connections until my current rig, which has a very long (4 meter) run between the preamps and amplification set. After finding a long pair of balanced cables here for a price I was willing to pay, I gave them a shot between my ... | |
| worst sounding great lps Don't get your hopes up on Katy Lied, Ghosthouse. I have a re-issue vinyl copy and the 1999 CD, MCAD-11916 copyright 1999, bar code 08811 19162. Don't know if the CD is remastered; there is nothing in the jacket info about that. Regardless, the CD... | |
| My Set up Matt is correct. a McIntosh MAC-3 is an excellent 5.1 / stereo unit that sells between $500 and $1000 for near-perfect condition. Got mine for $495 - it only needed light bulbs. Most impressed with its performance. A multi-channel amp will save a ... | |
| Best value in a HO movig magnet $150-$200 Al is correct, but I second Mofimadness' opinion. Go with the Ortofon 2M Red. It lands below your price point, has the capacitance Al notes and has a replaceable stylus. I am totally satisfied with mine. Good luck and happy listening! | |
| Beates Mono- CD Box Set -Japanese pressing / issue Sold and delivered by Amazon, copyright EMI UK, printed in Japan. Never saw a Japanese home edition up there, but I did buy it a few years ago so don't know what might be there now. | |
