| Gruv Glide. How many use it? Gruv Glide works great. It is easy to use, very economical and I can definitely hear an improvement in sound quality. | |
| solid state power amps, golden oldies A consideration on older amps might be speaker connections. They might have those old, "useless" spring clips that will not accept bananas or heavy speaker wires. You will also find many with 'captive' power cords, eliminating your choice of upgra... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Confidence 5 speakers McIntosh 6900! I love it with Dynaudios. Phenomenal musicality, tons of power, gorgeous looks to match the Dynaudios. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? What a great thread! Very educational.From "my" point of view and experiences I no longer use the 20 to 20K benchmark for selecting a speaker.In the late 70's I was 'spec crazy'! I would not consider a speaker for purchase if it did not boast the ... | |

| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? What great responses. I have been listening to the Ayre C5Xe with both SACD and redbook CD. I took several twin copies I have on both SACD and redbook and did a comparison on the AYRE C5. SACD absolutely sounds better than the same redbook disc. O... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? I would not own anything else. Pride of ownership, quality, sound, resale value. | |
| Rega best buy p-5 or p-7? please HELP Good Afternoon Jopi88,I purchased a Rega P5 with Exact cartridge last August. I have heard this unit side by side with the P7 and Exact. The P7 has a very "slight" edge in sound quality, particularly detail, but not by much.I had the Music hall mm... | |
| Anyone have or listen to a Rega P5 yet? I have the P-5 with Rega Super Elys. This is the best sounding turntable I have owned and I have owned MANY.For simplicity, ease of use, great sound, and value, they are very hard to beat. I am not going to add any type of upgrade. The RB-700 arm ... | |
| RB700 w/ Super Elys... cartridge alignment needed? I have a rega P-5 with the Super Elys. My experience is the 3 hole system and Rega cartridges are "MADE For each other". The mounting is simple, and my alignment protractor shows near ideal alignment. The system gets you so close that the miniscul... | |
| Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000? I have had so many CD & SACD players I can't remember them all. Many of which have been mentioned here. I bought the Quad 99 CD-P last summer to go with my all Quad system. This is far and away the best CD player I have owned, and a bargain to... | |
| To much wattage for B & W 805s ?? You are much better off with "too much" clean power than being underpowered, or having an amplifier go into clipping due to a poorly made power supply or output side. Once the signal goes into hard clipping (running out of steam) that's when you a... | |

| Poor student with a SL-1700MK2, which needle? Dear Amerritt,I have used an sl-1200 (very similar) with the Audio Technica 440ml cartridge. This is a top notch cartridge for the money. Needle Doctor & Music Direct sell them for $99.00. I was amazed at how good the sound was especially for ... | |
| Which table to choose - Rega P3 or Music Hall MM7 I had the mmf-7. It was a fine table and sounded good. I sold that and bought a Rega P-5 with 'Exact' cartridge. The combo of the 700 arm and the Exact is superb. I am hearing instruments on records I did not know were there with my other tables.I... |
