| DBP-10 Protractor Instructions...... Buy a Mint LP protractor made specifically for this arm; much easier and very accurate. It really dialed in my arm and comes with a very good magnified glass to really see if positioned properly. | |
| wilson sophias to monitors Dynaudio monitors are crap for the money. If the Caravelles up for sale aren't sold yet buy them. They are the best monitor I have ever heard and I enjoyed the for years before I went back to my MAXX 2's only because I wanted more low end heft for... | |
| What good cd players are there for under $1000 Sony 5400es if you can find one used. | |
| Bulk cables: Oyaide vs Furutech Isn't there a way to re run dedicated lines close to the new configuration set up? Wouldn't that be cheaper and better? Just a thought. | |
| Vinyl reissues quality Experiencing the same; I stick with LPs pressed at RTI and Pallas in Germany; quality seems higher. Re done Dire Straits are good examples of what new pressings should sound like. | |
| End of Snell Acoustics? I should have completed my thoughts a Mac dealer shared; that Mac will use some of the Snell design team to design some of the lower priced Mac speakers. So while the Snell name will cease, some of the designs will be further refined and developed... | |
| End of Snell Acoustics? They are owned by MacIntosh now. | |
| Best Bass amp If you don't mind the heat the KSA-250 will put out it will more than control your speaker. I used them on old B&W 801 Matrix 3's (89db efficient) and the KAS rocked! This amp can easily drive a 2 ohm load; you will have no problem. I used a J... | |

| best solid state preamp from Audio Research? I liked the LS 9 I had for about a year and the only reason I sold it was because the volume control didn't have small enough incremental changes up and down. Sometimes the setting between one notch up or down on the volume would have sounded best... | |
| First "real" TT... Napalmblast, I can't say if the Rega or the Music Hall is better as I haven't seen or heard or read much on the Music Hall. I do know the 2.2 is the newer model. Rega's are always easy to resell, there is an after market upgrade to the platter and... | |
| First "real" TT... Buy the Rega P-1 with cartridge for sale right now on this site for $395. Great entry table from a well respected TT manufacturer. | |
| Intermittent hum in right Krell fpb 350 mono I had a hum in a mono amp once and determined it was something as simple as the power cord and an interconnect touching and running together in a parallel line. Once I separated them the hum went away. Check all your cords and be sure they aren't ... | |
| Speed Stability Macd, the SDS was a great upgrade when I had the VPI table. It truly allows you to lock in the speed and forget it. Getting the speed right gets the pitch and pace of the music correct. Having said that, I did check the speed every month or so bec... |
