Seeking advice for intigrated amp for TT setup
I made a similar inquiry on this board a few years back, and somebody recommended the Onkyo A9555. It has a more or less neutral sound that is tinged with warmth, and it should be a good fit with your cart and TT. It would really conplement your m... 
TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS
Perhaps you would find the following titles interesting reads Mr. Audiofeil. 1. Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value 2. The Comsumer Trap. You see, when you want to sell products to over indulgent consumers you don't lower the price of items--you sen... 
TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS
For the sake of argument let's say there is a hypothetical audio professional that can quantify how much better a particular TT is over another. What would he say about the Technics facing off against something that has snob appeal? That the highe...

You should. 
TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS
I started off with a technics 1210, and have been very happy with it. Every now and again I get the urge to "upgrade" to a system that would impress an audio snob, but at the end of the day I know I would not come close to reaping the aural benefi... 
Nirvana pressings
It's really not that suprising the band was ultimately unhappy(to a certain degree) with the final product. There's a pretty telling video on YouTube that has Butch Vig talking about how he got Cobain to do certain things that he really didn't wan... 
Nirvana pressings
If your looking to avoid a pressing that sounds overproduced I fear you will have to avoid Nevermind in general! Didn't Grohl say it had the production value of a Motley Crue record? 
Speaker Pairing Question
Thanks Soulbrass, I should have been a little clearer with my post. I have the Denon dl-110 for a catridge. My system is fairly modest, so I really don't want to spend more than 600 to 800 hundred dollars(new or used) for the amp with an onboard p... 
turntable newbie: need advice for better sound
By any chance is the red light flashing on the power knob when you are playing records? 
Best Preamp 300-500 Range
Thanks, it looks like it's hard to find a negative, or even average review of the 9555. I really appreciate the info--Cheers 
Best Preamp 300-500 Range
Sorry, I was at work and didn't have time for a more informative post. Like I said, I have the 1210 with a denon 110 cartridge placed in a Sumiko headshell. The table sits on a three inch maple platform, and also has the threaded brass footers fro... 
Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples
Joelv, I brought this up in another post, but i'll ask you directly. Based on your experience with the fluid damper would you make the purchase if you had a 1210 MKII, and were not going to get the rewire? My setup consists of the 1210 sitting on ... 
Paradigm Monitor 7s
If a wanted to pair either speaker series with a receiver in the 500 dollar price range what would be the best fit?--Cheers 
Rega Exact 2 on a Technics 1200
Thanks for your opinions, is there a general concensus on MM cartridges that match up well with the technics tonearm and the more popular kab mods? Just getting some ideas for future upgrades.

Thanks, I was thinking more along the lines of the black stuff though--Cheers
