| Radio Days..............and you? My McIntosh MR71 is not original. I first sent it to Audio Classics to have it restored to original spec. It sounded very good after that. A couple of years after that, I sent it to a guy up in Montreal, who designed and built tube amplifiers back... | |
| high quality turntable with built in phono at $1000? I’m sorry, because a built-in phono preamp is not included. I missed that part when I first read your post.Kenny | |
| high quality turntable with built in phono at $1000? audiocanada,Check out the Rega Planar 3 (P3). It costs about $945, and a compatible Elys 2 MM cartridge is offered as an upgrade for a total cost of $1,145.Kenny | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product garebear,I own their seismic bars that use the pods under my subs on my suspended wood floor. These completely eliminated the feedback oscillation that I was getting up through my rack to my cartridge. I’m considering the individual pods under my ... | |
| Radio Days..............and you? Edcyn,I could not agree more, as that’s where it’s at today for the technology. But, I have to say, I really don’t like my car radio or use an alarm clock.Kenny | |

| Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection? I have the black 25 cube unit and it's rock solid. I made modifications to the wall brackets and attached it to the wall with lag bolts into the studs. If I didn't need all the cubes for records, I could jazz up some cubes with art objects, for ex... | |
| Is a Power Wedge 116 any good? Wow, I forgot I even started this post (2009)!Everything has changed since then...My system, my home, and the setup. The Power Wedge is now being used by my daughter for her system, but as a power strip upgrade. No problems with it so far.Kenny | |
| Surprised I had floorstanders in a room with about the same dimensions as your room, so 14' x 15' x 8.' My speakers go down to 30 Hz and driven with the right amplification, the bass was excellent. Then I moved my system into a large open space, and while I... | |
| No Pro-Ject Reviews in Stereophile Try and Google Project Turntable Stereophile and you'll find a number of different reviews by them. However, I do acknowledge your point that they may exclude certain brands. This does not bother me, as they have their own business model and rely... | |
| The best place in NYC There are a number of great places.If you're into analog, tubes, horns and hybrids, check out High Water Sound owned by Jeff Catalano. His service, support, and sound is the best I've discovered for myself in 44 years of trying.Kenny | |
| single driver speakers You're right, it cannot.However, done right, it may reproduce the heartland of the recording second to none.Kenny | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) I'm glad I found Horning Hybrid (Tommy Horning/Denmark) and GR Research (Danny/Texas). All my gear is like this, because of the incredible personal service.Some critics will say that these tiny speaker companies use cabinet kits and then pop-in ot... | |
| What is meant when someone says a component is lacking soul + 1 wlutke - The sound doesn't do much or anything for you emotionally. Keep playing your favorite recordings on different systems and you will get it.Kenny |
