| Is there high output MC that can compete/beat ... "Does the 2.5 mV, which is at the low end of the Gram Amp 2's stated needs, mean tha I'm going to have to crank the volume more to get the same level of sound as with the Sonata (which is about 4 mV, if I remember correctly)? Thanks, Rich"I had th... | |
| Is there high output MC that can compete/beat ... Don't know about taking off the cover, but I really enjoy my Dyna 10X5.Detailed, warm, and extended on both ends of spectrum. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Arrakian- There are some who believe that the KAB tonearm mod addresses the arm refinement and control issue quite well and that a replacment arm is not needed or is not necessarily better. It may come down to different type of presentations versu... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Arrakian- I just set up a Technics SL-1200 MK2 with the KAB modded tonearm that I got used.You might talk with Kevin at KAB about what he thinks about changing the arm, or what others have thought about that.I am using a Dynavector 10X5 cartridge ... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Jes45-Well, after minimal burn in the TRL Sony 595 sounds very very good already to my ears. It has an immediacy, smoothness, detail and presence that I have only heard in TT/analog setups.I will keep you posted and probably do some kind of review... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Jes45-What do you think of the TRL modded Sony 595?I have been getting into vinyl mostly lately and sold my main digital source (a nice Cary 308) as even that couldn't quite get me the immediacy and presence of analog.I had decided to just live wi... | |
| How good is phono stage in Musical Fidelity A300? Have fun. A lot of people suggested that one, the Denon 103r, and the Dynavector 10X5 as great MC values. | |
| How good is phono stage in Musical Fidelity A300? Slate 1 -Thanks for the info on the MF A300 and your experience comparing it to different external preamps.I think I may sit tight for now. I don't think that the Dynavector is really too fussy as far as the loading and gain, but I might just try ... | |
| How good is phono stage in Musical Fidelity A300? Slate 1 Just noticed your system in your signature.Nice. Nice TT setup also. | |
| How good is phono stage in Musical Fidelity A300? The CI Audio preamp gets nice reviews at its price point and Dusty beleives it is better than the Monolithics of before.That is a nice statement about the MF A300 if it holds its own with that unit in your setup.As far as the low output cartridges... | |
| How good is phono stage in Musical Fidelity A300? Slate 1-Thanks for your response. It is actually kind of hard to find people who have used the MF A300 phono stage and also who state comparisions to some external entry level phono stage such as CI Audio/Black cube/NAD/Monolithic/Bugle/Phonomena,... | |
| How good is phono stage in Musical Fidelity A300? Jkaway- Sounds like you had a bad experierence with the MF A300.I like the unit, and it's sound overall, just had no idea about the phono stage.Satch- The KAB mod addresses the alleged tonearm lack of refinement and control issue. I am pretty happ... | |

| Which warm sounding cd player for under $400? You might consider a modded Toshiba 4960.You can buy the unit for $100, it is a universal player and the mods are $300. It looks like a few guys are doing the mods and use a similar process.Supposedly sounds very nice.I am considering this myself ... | |
