| Finally bought a new Turntable! I have the Hana SL with a Pass XP-15, gain is set at 66 and loading at 500. As you suggested, I had to try several combinations of settings before I found the best sound for my system. | |
| Need advice Onkyo made some pretty good cassette decks in the 70's and 80's. I have one in my secondary system that I rarely use, but it is a solid player/recorder. You should be able to find plenty of choices in your price range. | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Paul Simon - Graceland 25th anniversary reissue. | |
| Your memory of Audio Marketing, esp. B.S. Duophonic on some early '60s LP's. | |
| Audiophile Bass? @tomcy6 Agree with you about the poor quality of most amplified performances. My complaint is there is usually a 20 something bass head at the soundboard with the bass on steriods. It sounds awful and is painful. Sometimes I think that the band on... | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Lak has given you the best advice. I have the HL5+ and I use Skylan stands that are specifically made for my Harbeths. However, I had them build mine 2" shorter because of my somewhat low seating position. Perfect! | |
| Your first system and your journey... Early 70's, Sherwood S8900A receiver, Dual TT, Shure cartridge, SAE electrostatic speakers. Shortly thereafter moved up to a Mac C26 and Crown DC 300A amp. I couldn't afford the matching Mac 2105 amp. Still have the C26 and Crown in my office sy... | |
| New Cartridge I had the same TT with the Exact 2. Unless your stylus is worn out, I'm not sure you can gain a big improvement at your budget. | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 Yes, I have seen the Darko review. At about $700 more, I would guess that the Innous Mini would have better build quality and sound better. Unfortunately, I won't be able be able to audition either one. The CD ripper on the Innous is a plus. | |
| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? Perhaps Harmony makes a basic inexpensive remote. I use one of their mid price models for my home theater. | |
| Auditioning amplifier gear: simultaneous auditions, online retailers you trust? Take a look at Cullen and Silnote cables. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? In your price range, the Rega Apollo-R. Solid build, smooth sound, no digital glare. | |
| What is the current market value of the Classe Audio CA200 and the Classe Audio 15 amps ? You do not have to have a subscription to use the AG Blue Book. You can choose the one time use option. Also check Hi Fi Shark. | |
| Would like advice on upgrading entry level system My son has the Yamaha S 801 paired with Harbeth C7's and it sounds great. He uses a Rega Fono preamp, but the one in the Yamaha is not bad. | |
