| Dual mono integrated amps Musical Fidelity makes/made several dual mono integrateds. Some of the older models have gotten good reviews; Tri-Vista 300, A308, A5 | |
| Integrated amplifier for ATC SCM 19v2 @gerrie Unfortunately I have not heard the m6si500. If I remember correctly, I listened to a MF M8xi at the LA Audio Show back in 2017 paired with some large B&W speakers. Very dynamic. It’s been my experience that some speakers respond wel... | |
| Integrated amplifier for ATC SCM 19v2 I can't speak to the 19v2, but I did own the 11v2 for a couple of years. They paired well with my Musical Fidelity A5 integrated amp. I then moved up to the Luxman L-509x and thought the 11v2 was even better primarily for low volume listening be... | |
| Speakers cause weather changes ESG cultists will be reading this and getting ideas! Class A amps are already under attack for contributing to climate warming. | |
| Blue Note Tone Poet Series I've been dabbling in the purchase of some of the Blue Note and Tone Poet re-issues to selectively curate some holes in my modest jazz collection. But, I'm skittish as the last two orders have had warps and surface defects. Blue Note has been co... | |

| What is your record cleaning regimen? I tried the Perfect Vinyl service for some problematic LPs that had bothersome groove noise even after multiple enzyme/rinse cleanings on my RCM. I made listening notes before sending them - timed locations of crackles and pops. Still there. Do... | |
| Luxman 550AXii and 509X The Luxman L-509x is biased for 6 watts Class A before going AB to rated output. Depending on speaker pairing, most/all listening can be in Class A. | |
| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) I was the one that mentioned it already - good video. I didn't have the link handy - so thanks for posting that! | |
| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) Maybe, but my opinion was based on side by side comparisons of the ATCs and Audio Notes using two different integrated amps Musical Fidelity A5 Luxman L-509x The ATCs were great speakers - make no mistake; just compared to the Audio Notes they ... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? I went from the Hana SH to the AudioTechnica AT33SA - granted not much of a cost difference and granted it's comparing HOMC to LOMC, but imo the AT33SA is the better sounding cartridge. Maybe the Hana ML would be better, but then it's another lea... | |
| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) I've owned both ATC SCM11v2s Audio Note AN-K SPx/SPe Two very different price points. The ATCs are very resolving, fast transient response, can play really loud and still maintain tonal balance and soundstage w/o compression. They do need pow... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? I would add the AudioTechnica AT33SA to the list for consideration. I run one on my 1200MK2 - very musical, tracks great, matches with the arm. | |
| Pass Labs INT-25 or equivalent in another brand The Luxman L-509x stays in Class A for the first 6 watts (8 ohm load) before going A/B to its rated output. The L-507 probably the same. |
