| Ground Wire Good suggestion to use XLR's, but how is that going to help the OP? It doesn't appear that he has XLR's... | |
| The Sound of Speaker. MC got me, I deserved it! | |
| The Sound of Speaker. He did give up on Rega. Now he wants to be an expert on all design and speaker types. Good luck. | |
| Ground Wire You've definitely created a ground loop. Everything should be to one outlet on the same line. Avoid different power lines at all cost. Ground problems are TRICKY. You might want to look into a ground block. | |
| Silver Head Shell Leads I like silver wire. That being said, for maybe 6 inches of wire total, don't think you could tell the difference. I couldn't justify $600 for contact enhancer, but haven't tried it. If you've got the cash, try it and let us know. No Rhodium! | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? Well since all you changed was the amp, either be patient or go back to the Krell. Remember you're comparing 150 watts to a 20 watts! Your speakers are not efficient enough for that amp in my opinion. You will need to make several changes if you w... | |
| Insuring Your Vinyl Collection and Equipment Excellent, thanks. | |

One 1/2 speed of Blondie Parallel Lines sounds worse the original Chrysalis version. MC would tell you to buy a $500 selected "white... | |
| Matching components? I agree, that Pass amp looks great! Bi-amp or tri-amp anyone? | |
| Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect? Have you looked inside? JC2 Manual Online (htguide.com) I'm guessing you don't have a schematic. Preamps are usually an easier fix than other components. I read something that this is an FET preamp, if so I'd be concerned about obsolete parts. Do... | |
| Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect? If you think you can fix it, yes. I'd offer 50% of what he's asking at the most. | |
| Dual 701 pops fuse. Replacing the cap is easy, try. Think Thalmann is your best bet. | |
| Recommendations Please: Bookshelf Speakers no Larger than 7"x12"x8" Hsu - made me chuckle, erik | |
