| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner You're entirely welcome and thank you for directing my attention to the power connection - I missed that completely. I may have to add the WEWU rotisserie to my wish list; the wood stand that came with the V8 works and is fairly pretty, but is al... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Thanks for the links! Wish I'd been able to find them 6 years ago; quite a bit less expensive than the V8 cleaner I ended up with. The rotisserie is higher quality too, but isn't powered. I can think of a few ways around that, though. You migh... | |
| McIntosh Preamps - Moving Coil Vs. Moving Magnet Input At that price point, the 2M Blue is a great way to go, and a better choice than most of the MC alternatives I'm aware of. On the table, I can't speak to the Pioneer, but would suggest you also consider a Rega Planar 2 or 3, a Pro-Ject, a Thorens... | |
| McIntosh Preamps - Moving Coil Vs. Moving Magnet Input The Mc phono section is very good in all the C2300/C50 and newer preamps. The biggest decision will be whether MC or MM will get the best out of your cart/arm/table and vinyl collection. There can be a big difference in cost between the two path... | |
| I need some turntable guidance @mijostyn SOTA no longer uses the lead shot. That's why Kirk said the new suspension could handle anything.Haven't taken it apart to figure out the new system, and probably won't. I've reached my satisfaction level with the table and arm combo. ... | |
| I need some turntable guidance @mijostyn Kirk (RIP, BTW) at SOTA offered to set up my Series III for anything during the upgrade he performed several years ago and noted arm mass was no longer a consideration with the Series V suspension I had him install. If I read the websit... | |
| I need some turntable guidance As you've discovered, there is indeed a wide range of opinion on what can be done. I've owned your preamp and have years of experience dating from the early 70s with your amp and K-horns. Here is some more food for thought:Your C2300 has one of ... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... A bit late to the party here, but I have direct experience with the Graham Phantom on a SOTA Sapphire. IMO, it is one of the most synergistic combinations available at any price. The arm is exceptionally well-suited to the table and the table is... | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Proof is in the listening. Try the Heresys with the Fisher and see if you like them (tubes are the only way to go with Heresy). Be aware they are very efficient and not a choice to make neighbors happy in an apartment environment.Good luck &... | |
| Who needs a tuner? Very cool - thank you! | |
| Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps? A bit late to the thread here, but as others have mentioned, go SOTA. You will have zero issues with vibration or footfalls. They are very easy to set up, bullet-proof reliable and can be had brand-new with a top-flight tonearm and cartridge for... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? Be Bob Deluxe. Bill Nelson made the music magic! Thanks for the G squared shout out @stevecham ! About as progressive as it gets. I really miss strings ringing like bells in the night.For example: McLaughlin, Holdsworth, DiMeola. Those were spec... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Adrian Belew, Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland OH last night. Second show of this tour, new album just released. Too much material to cover here, but did a couple of the new tunes, a bunch of stuff from King Crimson's Discipline and Three of a Perf... | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? @bdp24 +1! Your observations on snap, silence and veiling are absolutely spot on. I’ve spent many years building a system that was as transparent as I could make it using my Sheffields as the standard reference measure. When those Harry James trum... | |
| Best sounding CD (or hi=rez). jazz releases? Try:The Big Band Hit Parade on Telarc (515760Y), CD from 1988. Features Brubeck, Calloway, Severinson and more. Erich Kunsel and the Cincinnati Pops provide the orchestra. It's my go-to acoustic test CD for horns and I love all of the tunes on ... |
