| 12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend? Try a Fidelity FR-66s. I just acquired one and the sound is as good or better than anything else i've heard. I have an Audio Note IO-2v mounted on it and it makes a great combo. | |
| Should we upgrade high end fuses? Why not? If you can spend hundreds and thousands on a high end power cord, I am sure a fuse would make significant improvements. REMEMBER.....after your 20A dedicated lines, to your cryo'd outlets then to your gigantic power cords, the current ult... | |
| Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe? ANything 100V plugged to 120V will likely suffer from overheating as the xformers are stressed. There might be the odd case that it works fine. | |
| Koetsu FYI, the full retail prices of Koetsu, Benz Micro in the Orient are almost the same as the dealer costs in North America. Sometimes maybe lower.Anyone can by SME V tonearms for less in Hong Kong than your local dealer pays for his stock.The North ... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Just picked up a Nakamichi TX-1000 turntable. Installed a Fidelity Research Fr-66s tonearm and an Audio Note IO2 Cartridge on it. It sounds absolutely fabulous. This is the best analog setup I have ever owned. Beats my Oracle/SME combo any time of... | |
| Isoclean Fuse IMO, the fuse had nothing to do with the bias level. NO, you should not put a higher fuse value than the original value. I fuse does nothing except blow at specified value. Your ARC does not max out the 6.25A all the time..probable not even close.... | |
| Isoclean Fuse I know that they have a 6.3A because I bought 1 for my rowland amp. Ask them to order some for you. | |
| Why so many "newer" Mac's for sale? Jeffjarvis, I really enjoyed what you said......very well thought out and said indeed....can't stop laughing! That's reality.Cheers | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone My deepest sympathy goes to Pat's family. Thanks to Barb for sharing his last moments with all of us. I wish I could have done the same if I was in your position. That alone shows us a lot of character and courage on your part. This alone will mak... | |
| Compare Audio Note UK Sogon to Kondo KSL-LP I will try to answer this for you. I am a fan of Audio Note Japan....not the UK stuff. I am sure that the UK stuff is good but also no match compared to the real Kondo made stuff. As for cables, I am currently using all Kondo made AN-Vz and have t... | |
| What is the best tube integrated amp? I have a Jadis DA30 in my second system for many years and Boy! I can tell you that it sounds absolutely fabulous. It's just 30 watts and has loads of power for most speakers. I have used it to drive my Apogee Duettas Sigs with not much problems e... | |
| Which of These Budget SS Preamps? I have to fully agree with the others about the Audio Research LS-3 or 3B. Fine piece for the price. Does everything very well. I wouldn't mind getting another for my second system. | |
| Sleeper preamps: $500 new/used Forte model 2. This pre gave me a shock when it left a Bryston BP25 way behind in almost every respect.It has an excellent phono section. Used price for a nice unit is approx $300-450. Excellent buy. | |
| TEAC/Esoteric P700 Mechanism CMK 3. Maybe the 3.2 depending on which year it is. This is the better Mechanism with the lead clamp. Much better than the CMK 4 used on the VRDS T1 transports which have a plastic/resin clamp. It is very reliable. Teac has the parts for it. It us... | |
