Amplifier recs for Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M?
4music,I am running the c2300. A top notch very versatile pre with a fanatastic tubed MC/MM phono stage. Also has a HT pass thru. I can't say enough about this pre. The pre, amp, speaker combo is pretty much end game save for the "upgrade bug" thi... 
Amplifier recs for Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M?

Tightening loudspeakers screws...
I am in the same line of thinking as Jeff. In addition to removing the baffles, I would also like to see the crossovers pulled from the cabinets or boxes to inspect them. My grandfather always said, "If you want to know how a good speaker is made ... 
Sonus Faber Cremona in a small room?
Hi Taboooe,I have the new Cramona M's in my room that is about 20 feet wide by 16 feet deep. I sit on the long wall facing the other long wall. My speakers are about 12 feet from my ears. They do not seem to load up the room at all. Nice bass inte...

Setting Up a Michell Tecnodec..Vancouver BC
I had one, just follow the instructions, they are very simple and laid out well. The overhang gauge works well and is accurate. The counterweight set-up was also very accurate, I measured it against an actual digital scale and it was right on. Set...

Hulskof,I like the idea of Musical Fidelity. Nice stuff and has a warmer sound. Why not have a Mac piece shipped to you? The way the dollar has tanked now, geesh, might be a good way to go. My dealer is L&M Custom Home Electronics and I know h... 
Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help
Hulskof,I have both the Mcintosh MC402 and the MC275. The 402 is solid state and the 275 is tubed. They both exhibit a strong grasp on the Cremona M's. I also have the new Cremona M's in Graphite. Both of these amps seem to mate will with these sp... 
Deciding on a phono preamp
I would stronlgy suggest the Dynavector P75, either the older mark 1 or the newer one. I had the older version and it is a bargain as far as sound and adjustability. I think they sell for about $400.00 for the older one. They are very well built a... 
Achieving a speakers max potential
Yes power makes a difference. The more power, the more the entire system will play with a sense of ease. A sense of ease is hard to define but you will know it when you hear it. Music just seems to flow from the speakers, loud passages will jump f... 
What could be wrong?
Michael Fremer suggests using a toothpick to push into loose cartridge clips and then GENTLY squeezing the clips with needle nose pliers to close them down abit. You will have to remove them from the cart pins first, I know it seems obvious, but ....

Why not have a shipping/packing company come out and "pack" your speakers and handle the shipping as well? 
Mcintosh 501's with Magnepan 1.6 QR
Hi Dan,I just changed my system to include a pair of 1.6's and a Mac MC 402. Now both the amp and speakers are new so they are alittle active on top. But I get a good feel that once the components settle in, all will be very nice. The Maggies take...
