| YOUR AUDIOPHILE JOURNEY WHEN DID IT START AND HOW DID YOU GET TO YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? I started with a Knight Kit amp that I built at age 13 in 1962. I had some Radio Shack speakers and a turntable which I do not recall who built. I eventually over time bought a McIntosh system in the 80's and went through some Nakamichi stuff. My ... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers I have the VPI HW40 turntable and it came with a dustcover which can be attached with included hinges. At first I was just going to go without the cover as I did not have enough room for the hinged cover to open enough. Then I thought that without... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? Since I got back into audio about 5 years ago, I did not visit any audio stores as I do not live that close to any. I guess the most expensive system is my current one and it really sounds superb to me. I am all McIntosh except for my VPI turntabl... | |
| Power cord As danmar123 said, make you own. I made cords for all of my components and could custom size the lengths. I used Furutech components from the cable store. | |
| Where to purchase cables? I have Morrow cables in all of my interconnects and speakers. My power cables were made by me using Furutech components. No complaints. | |
| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? You can call me shat you want but I have McIntosh from the preamp to the speakers. C2700, MC611, XR100 and they sound superb. The only thing not McIntosh is my turntable which is VPI. | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables About three years ago after getting back into vinyl I was looking to upgrade. I contacted a recommended dealer and he said he could get me the HW40 for a very reasonable price. I had not even considered a VPI. He contacted Mast and I had them inst... | |
| "I love it when a plan comes together!!!" Well your "downsized" room is still bigger than mine!!!!! | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge I have the Ortofon Cadenza Black and have used it for about two years. I like it so much I bought another as a backup. Once my original needs service, I will have it rebuilt and keep is a a backup. | |
| VPI to What I have owned my HW40 for almost two years and would not part ways with it. Since I am 75 it is probably my last TT. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? Mine was a Sansui receiver bought in the 60's but I have no idea which model. I kept that thing for many years and used it in my office until the sometime in the 80's. | |
| Going Tubing Since I went with separates several years ago it has been a McIntosh C2700 (tubes) and MC611's (SS). It was like they were made for each other. I have been very pleased withe them. | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? All of my components are plugged into my MPC1500. C2700, MC611's, MCD600,MP1100. I have never had any issues. The MPC1500 has both switched and unstitched outlets available. When there is the threat of storms in the area which is frequently this t... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. I use Morrow cables throughout my system and highly recommend them. If you decide to upgrade, they will take your old ones in trade. |
