| Upgrading cartridge used or new? I had one that I bought new that wore out in about 5 years. It happened so gradually that I didn't really notice it until I changed to another less expensive model cartridge in the same line. Then I tried to re-mount the old cartridge again and it... | |
| McIntosh on CBS News Kool! Here is an easier way to view it: Interseting video of McIntosh Labs on CBS News:I still remember the first tube amp I ever heard was a Mac275 almost 30 years ago. I still recall the feeling of 'wooooooah', now THAT sounds like music. | |
| VPI Scout height with tonearm attached 7.25" minimum height, the wire that comes out of the tonearm naturally bows at 8.25" though, so if you went between 7.25-8.25 inches, you would have the cover pressing on the wire everytime you put in on. I would recommend at least 8".My Gingko co... | |
| I heard BAT was sold +1 Marakanetz. I've owned 9 pieces of BAT equipment over the years, great stuff. | |
| What should I be auditioning? Look for local, you can usually get better deals that way, with cash n' carry. That way you get to listen to them first too, and most sellers don't want to worry about shipping big speakers. I got a great deal on the pair of Soliloquy 6.3i's I'm u... | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? 01-18-13: Dragon_vibeI think its becoming ridiculous considering the current economic climate is going downhill.It's been trending that way for several years now. Just about every high end company has introduced a new top of the line product in th... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions Peter, I certainly don't mind manufacturer's posting in the forum section, you bring a wealth of information to us hobbyists. However, this is the 24th thread in which you have pimped Liberty Audio. Yes, you do acknowledge that you are biased, but... | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair They certainly would seem to have some liability in my humble opinion. Is your dealer a Mark Levinson dealer? | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? I love Kevin's work at VAC, I just wish he'd pay SOME attention to us lesser folks. He used to carry less expensive gear in his VAC line, in fact I'm enjoying an old Auricle preamp of his now that sold for around $2500 less than 10 years ago AND i... | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? VAC just introdeuced a new top of the line as well, their Statement line. I don't have any dea about the prices though. It seems that the high end is chasing the high dollar, since that is where all the dispendable income is going. | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? That Bybee stuff really makes the prices jump!!!I've heard VAC equipment, and I like it a lot. I haven't had an opportunity to listen to any of the Purity gear yet. | |
| How old is "Too old for" drivers I tell ya, some of them drivers I see out there on the road over 90 should NOT be out there, that's too old. Thanks, I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip your waitress'. | |
| On High Current Amps and Regenerators The only power protection equipment that I ever heard that didn't restrict a power amp in some way was a Running Springs Audio Jaco. Most power amps are better off going straight into the wall, however, if that makes you nervous due to dirty power... | |
| Analog setup - do it your self or hire a pro? I agree with Sarcher30, learn to do it yourself. You say you are good with your hands and have an eye for detail, it's not brain surgery. Sure, having the proper tools helps, and you can buy them easily with the money you've saved from paying some... | |
