| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I use a Mitsubishi DA-F10 tuner and listen to NPR programming 24/7 on 89.7 WUSF Tampa. Now that WUSF has ended the overnight Jazz program it is news and talk radio. I turn it off when I am asleep. | |
| Hana S or z Hana M Low output MC Cartridge? That's a good price for the M. Go for it! | |
| Happy Holidays to All Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to fellow Agoners! | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... Revel Salon 2 | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? No, the Luxman is not true balanced. Stay with RCA single-end interconnects. No benefit at 3 feet! XLR cables are for 50/100 ft distances where hum can be a problem. | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp Audible Illusions is a good recommendation! Also an Audio Research SP6! | |
| Going from MM to MC @asvjerry : You are correct! I had forgotten about the SL-10! I only encountered it once years ago when I was buying some tubes from a fellow that had one. He showed me his SL-10 and told me it came with an mc cartridge. I was surprised! | |
| Using a 110V to 220V step up transformer No problem at all. Get one rated for the current draw/amperage of the SET amp - which can't be much! | |
| Going from MM to MC Oh for the good old days when $1000 bought a TOTL Koetsu! | |
| Going from MM to MC Just buy a Hana SL for $750. This has a superior Shibata wide-contact profile for better tracing and extended life. | |
| Sugden A25 OK with KEF104/2? The KEF 104/2 are rather low sensitivity. They benefit from higher power amps. Especially if you like to crank up the sound at times! The A25:will work fine at low to moderate levels. For loud rock/symphonic stuff no! A 100wpc at a minimum for th... | |
| Best cables for Shindo gear. @jond +1 I stand corrected! I recall reading something about Switchcraft and Shindo in the late Art Dudley's column in Stereophile way back when! Art of course owned some Shindo amps. | |
| The Ultimate in Smoke and Mirrors? BUT... Same effect as those stick-on-the-wall wooden mpingo discs. | |
| Best cables for Shindo gear. Ken Shindo (RIP) used and recommended gray Switchcraft IC's. The ones commonly sold at Radio Shack. | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome Schiit Mani 2 for ~$160 is the best value here. I recommend going for transparent rather than "warm" - which is really just added harmonic distortion. |
