| battling the pops and clicks I've not had any problems with surface noise on new 180 gram vinyl as long as it is kept clean. Keep in mind that if a record is played dirty a few times that it can be nearly impossible to get rid of the all of the noise because the stylus can pu... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck I've had the MMF-7 for some time and have had no problem with the tonearm, or any other component for that matter. In fact, it seems to have a more pleasing sound than the Rega P3 that it replaced. I have had a number of turntable set-ups in the p... | |
| Wounded Bird I have bought several of their reissues and they have all been marked 'remastered' on the packaging. I have several of the reissues on the original vinyl and also on Columbia/Sony CD's. They sound infinitely better than the Columbia/Sony CD's and ... | |
| discwasher vrp Discwasher is out of business. However, the same basic sleeve is available from Music Direct as the MFSL Original Master Sleeve. I have use the VRP since if came out and now use the MFSL with the same results. | |
| $500 tables: Project or Musichall Pro-Ject builds the Music Hall turntables in the same factory. All of the Music Hall turntables have Project tonearms. Toward the top of the line, MMF-7 and MMF-9, the Music Hall design is better damped and passes less noise than the Pro-Ject's. | |
| Textured Black Paint: How do I do it? Don't know where you are located, but you could take the top of the case to an O'Reilly Automotive or to any auto supply shop that mixes their own paint, they will be able to duplicate it and put it into spray cans for you. What you have is genera... | |
| What exactly is meant by Remastered simply means that a new 'master' was made of the material. Sometimes when this is done the material is manipulated somewhat, such as converting it to digital from analog. Usually it's noted somewhere on the CD or inserts, or on a sticke... | |
| Reliable cable repairs? If you are unable or unwilling to make the repair yourself, any local electronics or TV repair shop would be able to do the job. Just be sure to be explicit in your instructions and expectations as may of the folks working in these shops wouldn't ... | |
| DirecTV into DAC into preamp...... The new basic DirecTV box that I got less than two months ago has two sets of analog audio out only. | |
| DOA- do we need to redefine the 'A'? Sounds reasonable, but this could happen: You sell a CD player in New York, ship to the buyer in California, who promptly drops it on the floor while opening the shipping carton. Said CD player won't play CD's and the display doesn't work. The nex... | |
| Thoughts about these forums Thank you for your post. As you, I have enjoyed and learned from the posts and discussions at AudiogoN. I have also been able to experiment with equipment, cables, etc., without having to spend large sums of money. I have also been able to readily... | |
| MH MMF-7 seems high/lean/bright sounding? I have an MMF-7 also, but no lean sound. I am using a Conrad-Johnson EF-1 phono stage, which is a little richer sounding than the MS, Transparent Reference phono interconnects, and Nordost Red Dawns from the EF-1 to the linestage. I have used the ... | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear I have several pieces of McCormack gear myself and have had several people in the "audiophile" community get a good chuckle out of that, and a few have called it junk. That may have something to do with the lack of bidders and buyers here. Oh well... | |
| Best turntable for easy setup and no maintenence? Another good fit for your requirements are the Music Hall turntables. | |
| Monarchy DIP Question If that's the case, then the Monarchy piece could be out of phase with the rest of the component chain. If music is playing and the crackling sounds more like Rice Krispies with milk on them, then it cound be a phase problem. Does your D/AC have a... |
