| Meridian 5xx vs newer lossless systems Hey Brax--glad to hear you're happy with the 565. I think I might have been a little extra cautious on the setup warnings, because it's still a little more effort than what most people are used to. Measuring tweeter distances and doing the math to... | |
| Need a little help, New to Vinyl Viridian makes a terrific suggestion. . .especially if you're looking for a more flexible future upgrade path. And I'm right there with him on the tube thinking! | |
| Need a little help, New to Vinyl You could look for a used pre-amp that also offers a built-in phono stage and headphone output. An example would be something like a NAD 114 or 116 which has both a MM/MC phono stage and a headphone output on the front panel. Plus you get remote c... | |
| How to eliminate FM RF coming thru turntable? This is just a wild guess, but since it's only happening at night, could it somehow be related to the fact that lights are on (vs. during daytime)? I'm no electrician, but it seems that the difference between night and day might be the clue here. ... | |
| Remote control from the next room You may also find IR repeater systems at Parts Express. These run about $100 and work terrific. I also second the suggestion for the Harmony remote. I am using both types of systems (Harmony RF remote and Xantech IR repeater) on two separate syste... | |
| Built in DSP = digital equalizer? It's my understanding that DSP is any signal processing that occurs in the digital domain. On the other hand, some manufacturers tend to use DSP as though it's a proprietary term for whatever process they may be using, so for a lot of end users, i... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands The older 600 series 1 (I have had 601s) did NOT have screw holes, but I can't speak to the current ones. The CDM-1NTs do have screw holes (I currently have a pair of these and just double checked). | |
| To repair/replace Utopia Be Here's another caution to keep in mind! Make sure any metallic items (screws, wrenches, etc.) are put safely some distance away from any driver you are handling. The magnets have a way of attracting those items ;^) and they can have the nasty effe... | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? BAT and Vandersteen for a lot of reasons, but mostly because of this. After making a modest purchase of a 2Wq sub, I had a question about crossover settings which I posted via a support email address found on Vandersteen's site. The next evening, ... | |
| Secret messages on LP's? These are from the cutting engineer (generally speaking). I remember reading about this back in the 70s, in an article about George Peckham. Here's what wikipedia has to say about him:George "Porky" Peckham is a British record cutting engineer, wi... | |
| Meridian Blu Ray? I believe (but can't swear to it), that if one of your Meridian speakers is a Master, you can use a Meridian remote control for volume. I suppose you could also try a Logitech Harmony remote. But you might need to experiment by loading a Meridian ... | |
| Stereo amp narrower than 18" for Martin Logans You're welcome. I found the Meridian to be a very "grippy" amp--it seemed to exercise tight-fisted control over those bit Maggie panels. Small point to make--the Maggies are planar/magnetic (vs. electrostatic). Not sure that makes a difference to ... | |
| Meridian 5xx vs newer lossless systems Very cool! If you get stuck during setup, let me know and I'll try to help out. Feel free to email me at kweisner@embarqmail.com. | |
| Project 6.9 set-up information needed... D, when I first got that table, I think I was using a Grado Black--which was a pretty low-cost cart. At the time I sold the table I was using a Benz Micro MC20E which was a $150 MC. My pre-amp has always been my BAT VK-3i, which has the phono boar... | |
| Project 6.9 set-up information needed... Darren:I have owned one of these and had pretty good results--enough so that I decided to move up in the vinyl food chain. Based on what you've shared, let me suggest the following ideas.You really should use an actual stylus force gauge vs. using... |
