| Denon, Shelter arm choices Jphii,I went to my friend's place last week and ran his setup through my HFNR Test LP. To me, it was set up correctly, and sounded fine to both of us when we played a set of 3 randomly selected tracks from some of his LPs. Somehow he got this craz... | |
| Denon, Shelter arm choices See the thread on Shelter 901/Graham. Apparently someone with that combination is experiencing a bloated bass.I can vouch for Shelter 901/SME V. It's a great combo. Good extension on both ends, very detailed. On my system, I woudl describe it as o... | |
| Shelter 90x vs 901 / Graham arm I have the 901 on SME V on Michell Orbe SE. The bass is extended and tight. I would suspect that Patrickamory is correct that Shelter 901/Graham 2.2 might not be a good match.As to whether 90X is a US-only product. I am not sure if that is true. I... | |

| Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons? Rzemkoski, Can you explain more about what one should look for when biamping? I currently use ML#333 driving my Thiel 3.6.

| Do cartridges need warm-up? I have a lamp next to the table illuminating the turntable while listening in the dark. I am glad to hear that it also has practical benefits too!FrankC | |
| EAR 834 vs. ARC PH-3? Which Shelter are you thinking about? I am currently using the 901 with my PH3 SE. Previosly, I have the Benz M2 which has 0.8mV output. I believe ARC recommended cartridges with 05mV or higher. The Shelter 901 has a 0.5mV output, and is adequate ... | |

| ML333 VS Concentra II I had the same problem as well. I thought I had caused it as I had this amp on standby mode when I was changing one of the wall outlets to an audio grade one. I was too lazy and stupid so I didn't turn off the circuit first. I ended up tripping th... |
