| Chord Hugo TT2 I have not heard it on a set of cornwals, but after owning a TT and a Dave, I would recommend you skip the TT and M-scaler and get a used Dave. its about the same price and the Dave is far better then the TT and M-scaler combo. I fond the m-acaler... | |
| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS I have the later C2700 tube preamp and used to have a MC275, I’ve recently moved to Mac SS mono SS amps. I found the SS amps to be better then the 275 in a couple areas, bass is much better, top end is just as smooth but a little more detailed in ... | |
| White debris on front of cartridge Your stylus could be contacting a differ part of the grove that may have mold in it or accumulated crud. try a good wet cleaning ie ultrasonic or vacuum. | |
| Bi-amping McIntosh MC2120 and MC2125 with Klipsch RP-5 Considering the speakers are 96db and have powered bass drivers, I’d doubt you’re going to need it or see much improvement at all. you’re only using a fraction of the power of one amp let alone two. Honestly I doubt you’re using more than 2wpc o... | |
| Ceramic cartridge phono stage options? Dekay thanks for the link i'll pass it along that probably going to be the easiest bet for him. cheers Glen | |
| Ceramic cartridge phono stage options? He has a Nagra tube preamp so I’ve recommended he try that into one of his line inputs. | |
| Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle I think your gear may be the issue; you have some excellent gear but maybe some of it is not exactly warm and lush. Your DAC for one is well regarded but I have not read one review that puts it as a warm, lush listening experience same with Brysto... | |
| Ceramic cartridge phono stage options? Thanks Guys i'll pass this information on to my friend. he has a cart already its a fun project for him and his 15,000 rrecords and three turntables all with two tonearms. He's normaly a London Deca collector (probably 12 or so including mono's) b... | |
| In need of a GOOD 3:1/4:1 passive input selector Decware has one that quite nice | |
| Open Reel Curious I looked at it a couple years ago and came to a couple/few of conclusions; If you do not already have many prerecorded tapes it is probably not worth it. New prerecorded tapes are silly money (think $200 each and up) and unless you’re quite wealth... | |
| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost What are they thinking, you could rebuild those tables and then some for that Evaluation cost. I'd pass on it seems they are drinking their own cool aid. I would not expect to spend more than a couple hour’s tech labor to assess any issue. These... | |
| Single way or multiway Less in the signal path the better. IMO. i.e. less is more. 10th order wow that’s a lot of crossover components in the signal path. From my experience no crossover sounds very good, but not all single drivers can do full range (or close to i... | |
| Need a tube power amp to go with Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Signature hybrid pre-amp You could look for a Sonic Frontiers amp on the used market. That would be a nice matching set up. Just remember the SL6's are notoriously inefficient and dip well into the 4ohm or less area. I have a set as well and drive them ok with a 40wpc ... | |
| Connecting TV, Integrated Amp and CD/DVD Player I would plug your Oppo into one of the TV's HDMI inputs and use the HDMI output from your TV to your Integrated. The TV will pass through any of the TV’s input’s digital signal to the out HDMI input in your amp. Then you can control your amp's vol... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? what sound levels are you listening at, maybe your over drivinig your speakers. |
