| Alice Cooper vs. Al Di Meola? The Jimi Hendrix Strat - shaped turntable! | |
| What are some funny/clever/interesting usernames? jasonbourne71 evolved from jasonbourne52 when I got a new phone two years ago. | |
| Ethernet cable - but which one? Monoprice | |
| Magnapan 35r and Hegel C55 Amp Bi-amping is a waste of money. | |
| Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3? Try cleaning the lens with a q-tip and 91% isopropyl alcohol. | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers A pair of Fosi V3 Monos with two 48 volt power supplies - $400. Why spend more? | |
| Differences in clock cables? Digital signal transmission is settled science. The 0's and 1's of the binary code don't care whether the cable costs $10 or $1000. | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations The Hana Umami Red at $3950 is a good recommendation. It is certainly competitive with mc cartridges costing double its price. | |
| Mullard EL37/6L6GC Tube Rolling Question If the heaters won't light up the tubes are dead. Send them back for a refund/replacement. | |
| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? Another cause of distortion is cartridge mistracking on heavily modulated passages. You can buy a Shure Test Record and test your cartridges to find out how they will perform. | |
| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? Lack of dynamic range/headroom on some phono stages certainly exists. Sell the Avid and use the Pro-Ject. The Ortofon mm's have typical output levels. | |
| Help me choose a phono pre Another recommendation is the Moon 110LPv2 for $599. This also features loading options. | |
| Help me choose a phono pre A good recommendation is the Schiit Mani 2 for $160. Michael Fremer of the Tracking Angle likes it. Yes, you can spend 10, 20, 30 X more for a phono stage but diminishing returns for sonic improvements set in quickly. | |
| Desperate to Get Back to Horns @viridian Thank you for clarifying the difference between the Altec 19’s and the Speaker Lab 7's. The author of the quote is Thomas Wolfe - not Hardy. | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood @viridian I am certain that a $17K phono stage is not 100 times better than a $160 Mani 2. Michael Fremer likes it! BTW I have an ARC SP6 for phono use. |
