| McIntosh C200 Preamp Activating Inputs - HELP You can use the "factory reset" function to start over. Alternatively, you can give Mc a call to see if they have a shortcut that I'm not aware of (my C50 requires a reset). Good luck! | |
| Suddenly, Porcupine Tree I'm a huge progressive music fan, but being an audiophile, a lot of bands have put out recordings that just don't work for me. I have The Incident on CD and Voyage 34 on vinyl and neither are very impressive. Can anyone suggest an album or two tha... | |
| Mcintosh xrt28 exploded view/diagram/servicemanual You can contact Audio Classics in Vestal NY or try McIntosh directly. Good luck! | |
| opinions on mcintosh 275 V The 275 is an ideal match for the Klipschorns. I'd suggest a newer Mc tube preamp to complete the sound. C2300 is superb and has both MM & MC inputs. C220 is more budget-friendly and C2500 adds DAC capability. You wouldn't go wrong with any of... | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? If you care about your stuff, no. Moving companies do not provide insurance as normal people understand it, and it's unlikely your homeowner's will cover it during the move. Read your policy to find out. You can check with your insurance agent if ... | |
| Tweeter height...align with ears? Bill is correct. Rogers recommended the woofers in my Studio 1s be at ear level. I've found that to be pretty good but had to do a lot of adjustment with toe-in and surface distance to get them where they perform best. It's all part of being an au... | |
| Vinyl essentials for novices As Dsper said, NEVER touch the record surface. Always clean the record surface before every play. Always use an appropriate brush to clean the stylus before every play. Be gentle and brush only in the direction of rotation. New records need the mo... | |
| To adjust ride level of springs on SOTA turntable The suspended plinth is supposed to be at or near the level of the cabinet; 3/16" offset would be pretty average. The suspension is not adjusted by screws. There is a void under the arm board that is filled with lead (old) or steel (newer) shot to... | |
| Mac MA 6100 worth the $$ to update? orig owner Transducers make a bigger overall difference to your sound, so speakers and cartridges should get first consideration. However, you will find that new speakers reveal other system flaws. Be prepared to start hunting for a new cartridge, tonearm an... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black or Dynavector 20x2 You are missing depth with the MM cart. Short answer: Go with the Dynavector low output version if you can or the high output version if you don't want to add a pre-preamplifier. | |
| Mac MA 6100 worth the $$ to update? orig owner Like anything, it's a more a matter of how much you love the sound of the MA6100. Audio Classics in Vestal NY can give you an idea of refurbish vs. upgrade cost options. FWIW, B&Ws are power hungry, so you might want to consider trading up to ... | |
| Mcintosh C220 issues. Presuming you've done the isolation drill by switching left to right with the cartridge and table leads, you want to see if you can test the preamp with another table rig as a final check. The C220 may be revealing a flaw in the cart you didn't no... | |
| Back to TT after 24 years All good advice above.Had a Rega for many years before I got my Sota. Yours will need the oil changed, not added. It's easy to do, but a bit messy. You'll have to gently pull up on the spindle assembly against the vacuum seal the oil will create w... | |
| Adding weight to counterweight, how to set vtf? Elizabeth is correct, but you will also want to make sure anti-skate is zero and repeat the measurement a few times to make sure you don't have any scale drift. Good luck and happy listening! | |
