| Comments about Nottingham quirks Thanks for the responses. I was considering switching to a Nottingham because it is the brand my local dealer carries. I try to purchase locally when I can so I can keep the local shops in business. This review really made stop and think if Nottin... | |
| Comments about Nottingham quirks Basically, most of the beef is with the tonearm and it's lack of "fingerlift" and the "stupidity" of not having any way to secure the arm when not in use. Also, he says the interconnects produce the worst hum he's heard in 4 decades of playing vin... | |
| What is your experience with the Totem Mani-2 sig. I'm using a Cambridge audio 840c and Mcintosh mc-402 with a Mcintosh 2200. I also use the wadia ipod dock with the cambridge. | |
| Wadia itransport troubleshooting I figured it out. I forgot to update my ipod software. | |
| Discontinued Usher speakers Why would they keep the 6311 though? I wonder if the other models weren't selling very well? | |
| Mcintosh amps with Ushers Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks | |
| Most Reliable CDPs? My Pioneer Elite pd-65 has lasted 15 years without a problem. And it is the piece that has stayed in my system ever since it was introduced. It sounds as good, if not better than a lot of players out there today. | |
| Mcintosh or Classe I use Usher CP-6371's | |
| What system do you get your audio epiphany on? Kublakahn, I heard that same record at a dealer on a Avalon/VAC/J.A. Mitchell system and was totally stunned. Clearly one of the best reproductions of music I've ever heard. | |
| Adcom GFA 555 amp upgrades My dad got a gfa 555 years ago and it was the one that originally gave me my Audiophile epiphany. He still uses it and it's going strong. I don't know if you'd really gain anything by going to the series 2 though. What about that one designed by N... | |
| Older Cd Players vs. new ones Interestingly, I just picked up a copy of Stereophile from 1986 on ebay and it has a shootout between cd vs. vinyl. It concludes that cd is vastly superior to the best vinyl available at the time. This is close to first generation cd they are talk... | |
| Mcintosh or Classe Just put a down payment on the MC402. I listened to it at the dealer through PSB synchrony one's and it sounded very sweet. I'll be getting it in October. | |
| Buying used vs. New Update on this. I can't believe how foolish this is. The problem with static sounds in the amp was due to my subwoofer not being hooked up correctly. That is why only certain songs would make noise. I had the ground wire, which was supposed to be ... | |
| Mcintosh or Classe I'm steering towards Mcintosh now. Only because Classe has a 200w amp and Mcintosh has the 400w amp. I don't want to spend 5k on a new amp for less power than the ca 300 that I am use to. The CAM 400w are 10k, which is too much. The Mcintosh retai... | |
| Older Cd Players vs. new ones "For what it's worth, not to long ago, Stereophile released a list of what they felt where audio equipment classics."Stereophile was in a fog during the 90's. Get some back issues and read them. I almost lost faith in hi fi from their antics of th... |
