| Most impactful for playing soft Without a Doubt it is the difference of humans hearing various frequencies at low volume, as documented by Fletcher Munson. The biggest difference a LOUDNESS (stupid name for a low volume listening adjustment) is boosting the BASS. That is what m... | |
| Update my Tonearm Glad it is solved. btw: messing with cartridge pins/wires: another reason to love removable headshells. | |

| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. My friend bought a tube preamp and tube phono stage, brought them here for a listen. I was quite surprised how much the sound changed when he tried the alternate rectifier tube the maker had included. Quite obvious difference, not subtle. I bough... | |
| Use of Y connector rather than passive preamp I have used Y connectors over the years, never a problem. People bring their preamps and phono stages here, we compare them to mine, sometimes using Y connectors, never a problem, everything sounds the same as when Y is out. I use a Chase RLC-1 ... | |
| Replacement tube recommendation for a Mcintosh amplifier? btw 1. switch amps, noise should move with the noisy amp. Good amp/speaker quiet, speaker is good. IF noise remains on the originally noisy side, then something on the speaker's crossover is going. 2. you can switch tubes, 1 at a time, from one... | |
| Replacement tube recommendation for a Mcintosh amplifier? It may not be the tubes, but it is always a fundamental question isn't it.

| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? richard_crl032 I've installed two Micro Seiki 505s, 1 technics b-500 base/arm, and 1 Acos Lustre GST-801. All have easy VTA adjustment, but I would not adjust them while playing. These JVC arms have ON THE FLY VTA, a big draw for perfectionis... | |
| Bi-amping Polk 50 monitors with Onkyo receiver That Receiver is trying to be all things to all people. It does not tell you the power of any speaker channel except 95 wpc when 2 channels are driven. IF you bi-amp, it doesn't tell you how much power hither and thither. Meanwhile, the speaker... | |
| Update my Tonearm I would solve it. to get some value to be able to sell it. but I would not buy a new tonearm. they are still in business and selling that model, have you asked for advice from MH? what I would look for: 1st, disconnect all other connectors to ... | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. Specs, related to IMAGING. I like everything about your existing cartridge’s specs (never heard one), including it’s low tracking weight. EXCEPT, It has only 26db channel separation, and 1.0 db center channel balance. Not everyone can hear subt... | |
| The $10,000 Question 1. work hard to fall in love with some efficient speakers that reduces power needs, ss and easier to try/use tubes in many ways: less power needed; size, placement (remote control beam), weight, heat, cost, availability of options. 2. integrate... | |
