| Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience The truth is that all competently designed amps of low output impedance, low noise/distortion and sufficient power to avoid clipping will sound indistinguishable. There is no ever- upward path to sonic Nirvana. What you are paying for above the ba... | |
| Holo Audio May / please help Holo Audio doesn't want you fooling with their footers so they are glued to the chassis. | |
| Turntables with tone arm lift at end of play. Empire 698 uses a light sensor to activate the arm lift. I had one. It also came with a low mass arm tube. Empires were the best American belt-drive turntables. They are worth finding and restoring! | |
| Best Turntable Mitsubishi LT-22 or Harman and Kardon ST-7 to Restore I also have the ST-7 Rabco - before HK re-branded it. I think the drive/arm mechanism is better in the LT-22. | |
| Best Turntable Mitsubishi LT-22 or Harman and Kardon ST-7 to Restore Keep and use the LT-22. An excellent linear-tracker! I have one. | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? Fosi V3 with the 48 volt 10 amp power supply - about $110. Why spend thousands for an interim amp? | |
| KT88 Tubes You can use 6550's in the Citation II. They are generally cheaper than KT88's. That's what I use in my pair of Dynaco Mk III 's. | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. Audio Research SP6! I have one. The preamp that William Johnson said he'd always wanted to make. | |

| Snake River Audio PC users question If I snuck into your room and substituted a Home Depot power cord I doubt you would notice. | |
| ??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ??? Baroque is more of an acquired taste even for Classic music listeners. I am one. You might have a more uplifting experience with Mahler Symphony 1 or Stravinsky's Rite of Spring played by a big-name orchestra. | |
| Benchmark DAC2 HGC as compared to current DACs The WiiM Ultra is an excellent streamer. No need to buy something more expensive! | |
| Benchmark DAC2 HGC as compared to current DACs Excellent DAC, especially for $500. | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design The advantage of MI (moving iron over MM (moving magnet) is much lower coil inductance and lower moving mass. The result is faster transient response and wider bandwidth. Grado cartridges typically have coil inductance in the 10's of millihenries ... | |
| Rega reference belt disappointment With an occasional application of Armor All a rubber belt can last essentially forever. Drying out is what kills rubber belts. That's what I use on the rubber belt on my 1977 Ariston turntable. |
