| Help me decide on new amp please I should have mentioned in my previous post, I have absolutely no personal experience with the B&K ST -140 amplifier other than recently considering purchasing one. This led me to investigate the amplifier and was about to pull the trigger whe... | |
| is the Grace F9L cartridge. equal to the newest MM, like Ortofon, Clearaudio, Rega, etc? Depends on the arm, the f8 is a better choice for ultralight arms like the Grace G707, Infinity Black Widow, etc. The f9 is actually based on the older f8, but improved to work on a wider variety of arms, but it's really not compliant enough for t... | |
| Adding a 2nd Sub to a 2 Channel System Just as two heads are better than one so it goes with subs.http://rs920.pbsrc.com/albums/ad46/Kingshead/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_191359.jpg?w=480&h=480&am...Martin | |
| Help me decide on new amp please The B&K ST 140 is/was one of Stereophile’s favorite amps at any price, and can be had for a song used. Check out the reviews by multiple Stereophile writers, they can’t all be wrong.But if that doesn’t float your boat, and you want to spend mo... | |
| Help me decide on new amp please Keep the Marantz, use it as a preamp for a couple of B&K ST-140 amps. Use the two amps to vertically biamp your speakers, spend the savings on a bunch of new records. Take two aspirin, call me in the morning lol.Martin | |
| How many grams weight for mm cartridge? The F9 is a great cartridge based on the F8 actually, improved and modified to work on a much wider variety of arms. That said, the F8 is a fantastic cartridge in its own right, and the better choice if installing on the above mentioned Black Wido... | |
| which budget FM Tuner Well of course not in the league of my old McIntosh MR78, but little is, and as you stated definitely not $200. That said, $200 buys a lot of vintage tuner these days as most people are streaming music now. Martin | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Resistors in series are cumulative.Martin | |
| Grace 707 with Grace F9Ruby on modified, veneered Pioneer PL-530 Table - How to sell? Can't edit my last post any longer, I should have stated anywhere but here where the cartridges attributes understood will more likely be appreciated.Martin | |
| Grace 707 with Grace F9Ruby on modified, veneered Pioneer PL-530 Table - How to sell? If you must sell, then sell the cartridge seperately, it won't bring you more for the table, if any additional definitely not what the cart is actually worth.Martin | |
| Need help with wiring second pair of speakers Not necessarily a bad idea, running two pair of speakers stacked has its aficionados. Often owners of the large Advents are bent on doing this and swear by it. Had never attempted something like this so having two pair of series I Klipsch Heresys ... | |
| Help Picking a turntable Well here’s a suggestion out of left field. As it seems you’re not averse to purchasing something inexpensive to test the waters, why not something used. These are kind of rare so demand decent money but are well worth the asking price, and then s... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? For the most part belt drives are simpler, so I guess all of us spinning DD could be considered to be living on the edge. Complexity does come with its share of bugaboos. Started my journey with an idler driven Dual back in 76 I believe. Then thin... | |
| What spinning on your turntable today and how does it sound? This is actually my first 45RPM album, purchased at Barnes & Noble no less lol. Funny, for yrs I used to harass the sales clerks in their music section asking when they would be getting in some vinyl. The response was always the same, "never",... | |
| What spinning on your turntable today and how does it sound? Apologize for the confusion, each record had its own short caption, so I was speaking about the Clapton record. But seriously both are outstanding, the Clapton being 45RPM though has something a bit extra in it. The acoustic Bonamassa album really... |
