| Adcom 555 Mk 2 Questions Has anyone run these amps in mono mode? How did they sound?I have a old 555 and I think it is a MkII because the RCA inputs are wide apart, not right next to each other as I see the originals are. It has excellent sound. Not bright at all like som... | |

| Japanese Vinyl Pressing I have a couple of Japanese and have heard more. They are usually better but not always,but that's life.I have a Brubeck release called "Brubeck Gold". If you like "Take Five", you need to hear this version.Much more dynamic and much lower sound f... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Z, the big question is what is the load that your MC cartridge requires. What kind of trannys are in it? btw these things require a very long break in. The tiny voltage can take a year to get settled in. I just built a new SUT tonight using Shure ... | |
| which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ? Glad to hear it Nolitan.I just reset my SUT from 1/30 to 1/15 ratio. This seams to be working well with my Denon 103. The 30x is good, but the 200 ohm load from the 15x adds some mid and high frequency clarity. Some would call it brighter, I would... | |
| What amp/pre-amp would you buy for $12-15k? I second the idea of Ralph 'Mr. Atmosphere"'s preamp. Surely one of the best going. If you want to try something different go for the Chinese Doge 8. btw I have found a tube preamp with SS power to work very well in my system. Tube preamps are so ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? No worries Z. It is good to be back on this thread with you and Rush and Slipknot.Just installed my Morrow Audio phono cable after Mike repaired it.What a difference! Also reset my SUT for 1/15 ratio which raises the load to about 200 from the pre... | |

| Tonearm Lead I know that this string is long been dead but,,,,, I have made a phono cable with good microphone wire and put it between my SUT and the preamp.btw this wire should be shielded as your phono cable is. The thing to do (according to Bob or Bob's dev... | |
| Heavyweight for an Audioquest tonearm I am in need of the same thing for my rig. I have a PT-6 with a Denon 103 with a Isokinetic stabilizer.the stabilizer makes the Denon mount much better due to it's threaded mount holes vs. the nuts and screws.The stabilizer adds 4 grams to the mas... | |
