| Opinion of Acurus 2 and 3 channel amplifiers is ... what? I purchased a new A200x3 in the 90's. I used it in my home theater system for many years until I replaced it with a Parasound Halo. I then used the Acurus in my secondary 2 channel system for several more years. It never failed me and sounded ve... | |
| Cost of Shipping Records That is a glitch in MD's system. I had to call them to request media mail. They did comply after I called. I'm surprised they haven't fixed the problem. | |

| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR @oldschool1948 I use a Hana SL MC on my 1200G with excellent results. I have an extra headshell and occasionally switch to my Shure v-mr with a Jico SAS stylus. It's all good. | |
| Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum I just wanted to follow up and let you know that I received my JC 3+ back from Parasound last month and they found no problem or defect with the unit. With that reassurance, I am going to review and try some of the suggestions you guys recommended... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Look at Analysis Plus. | |
| Recommendations for CDP < $300 In years past, I had two NAD CD players in the $300 to $400 range new. Never had a problem and they sound great considering the relatively low cost. | |
| MC Phono Preamp If you can stretch it to $500, a used PS Audio GCPH. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... Room 30' x 11? | |
| Upgrade from my internal Primaluna phono stage... Audio Alchemy PPA-1? What else? I really enjoyed my PS Audio GCPH with my Cayin Integrated. They can be found for $500 to $600 used. They retailed for $1000. | |

| Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum Getting closer. Short both inputs on the JC3+ again. Pull the JC3+ out and place it somewhere in front of the Cayin, or hold it in your hands if you have too. Use a spare RCA cable (not the pair that runs parallel to AC cords) and connect the JC3+... | |
