| AC Outlets Rja, these are facts stated about outlets, not just beliefs. As I stated, I never have seen anything, that supports an outlet having any sound characteristic. Show me proof, if you believe otherwise.This comes from engineers, and other knowledgeab... | |

| DId lightening strike twice? Amp s problem Oh well, sorry. I was hoping that this may have been that simple item that got overlooked. | |
| DId lightening strike twice? Amp s problem Unless I'm missing it, I don't see any reference made to your swapping the interconnects with something different. They're made of silver, and break easily. I see a reference made to speaker cables (Jade Audio Vermeil), same brand, but not the Jad... | |
| AC Outlets An outlet is only a connection point. It does not change the sound of anything, just as long as it does its job right. By doing its job right, I'm speaking of it making the connection tight and safely, and carrying the current it's designed to. As... | |
| Need a receiver for Klipsch Heresy speakers Don't be afraid to try Onkyo and Pioneer. Both come up with musical sounding ones, in that price range sometimes. If you have any "big box" stores, you could take them back, I think. I'd pass on Sherwood too. Cheaper receivers don't have much powe... | |
| Splitting a pre-amp channel for sub - good or bad? In addition to my prior post, if adding a subwoofer to a preamp that even has a subwoofer output, with no impedance changes to play games with the signal, still can degrade the sound. The bass from a sub could mask the midrange and highs easily. E... | |
| Splitting a pre-amp channel for sub - good or bad? These companies that make subwoofers, should use amps that are more versatile. Not everyone has a receiver with a subwoofer output. I've seen cheap under $200 subwoofers, with left and right line level inputs, and left and right speaker level inpu... | |
| McIntosh MC-2300 amplifier or... ? Maritan, If you went to tube amps, it would be best for two channel music only. They wouldn't match very well with solid state, in a home theater system. And, an all tube theater system costs a fortune. You would need all the speakers to be tube p... | |
| McIntosh MC-2300 amplifier or... ? If you don't need the extra power, don't expect too much, if any improvement, especially in the high frequency range. Around 1975, I bought one new. It lacked in the treble range. The output transformers was the problem according to others. The ou... | |
| Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low? Bill, I guess my post from yesterday is not going to show up. I don't think your MX-120 is compatible with your present cartridge.Rodman pointed out that you may have the DL-A100, which is a *low* output moving coil (MC) cartridge. This is most li... | |
| Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low? Bill, when I posted, I overlooked the possibility of your turntable having a moving coil cartridge. Minkwelder asked about the cartridge type. Rodman said your Denon turntable normally comes with a DL-A100 low output cartridge moving coil (MC) car... | |
| Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low? When I posted, the above posts weren't there. If it does have the DL-103 low output cartridge, then you probably do need an outboard phono preamp for moving coil (MC) cartridges. Also, you do need to turn off the preamp in the MAC, if that is the ... | |
| Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low? "ZONE A Analog InputThe MX120 has one Stereo Balanced Input that may be assignedto any of the eight Audio Inputs instead of unbalanced(RCA Type) jacks.

| Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low? If you look in the manual read the prior pages starting with 31, then at page 33, figure #20 settings, until you get it to read "ZONE A ANALOG INPUT PHON." That may get the gain set for a MM cartridge. This is using on-screen settings.I'm not 100... |
