| Mac C220 vs. Cary Audio SLP 98P I thought the phono section of the C2200 sounded very bright, and lacked depth, comparatively. I don't remember the C2200 be much more expensive than a loaded out SLP98 F-1 either. I did really like the C2200, I just like the Cary better, and stil... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers I'm in Newport Beach for work the next couple of days, and I can't get the guys I'm entertaining convinced we should drive to, even though I offered, to Santa Monica to Father's Office. So where should I take them, that's close to NB?thx, SoCal-ians. | |

| Mac C220 vs. Cary Audio SLP 98P The Cary's phono stage is better than the Mac's, at least on the C2200 that I had. But I have a seperate phono pre now also, since I have a LO cartridge as well.The VTL is a sweet preamp, but much more expensive. In that price range I would move t... | |
| Bryston Help I would try a Cary, Prima Luna or Rogue tube preamp and I think you would get what you are looking for with your existing amps. That was my experience when I switched to a tube preamp.Also, if you don't like the sterile sound I would for sure stee... | |

| Mac C220 vs. Cary Audio SLP 98P I had a C2200 before I bought the Cary SLP98p F-1 version, and I have never been sorry that I switched. I liked the Mac quite a bit, and in some ways it's easier to use, but I like the sound of the Cary more. It is definitely more "tube"-like. War... | |

| almost great lps.....70s=80s The Producers - You Make the Heat, side one is as good as rock-pop gets, the other side I haven't even cleaned on my current copy. | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... No cure, they said that it happened with the LO Grado Statement cartridges, and said they didn't have a cure right now, but they were working on it. They did say it was the platter. Really, somehow, it doesn't bother me that much. It's only notica... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions The Zerostat doesn't take dirt off, that's for cleaning. It does help change the charge on the record so that when you use a brush right before playing it will remove dust. That works fine. As said above, pops and cracks in general are not just st... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions It sounds like you need to clean the records first. If they have a lot of dust and static on them, you must remove that first, then use the Zerosat. | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... The table that I had before the Classic was an Aries 1 with a 10.5 arm and the original, and much desired, original platter. I never liked that table. I had it with an SDS, permiter ring, and a wonderful Gingko isolation table. It always sounded b... | |
| members with no feedback? If you have no feedback yet, you should expect special, or extra scrutiny on your first transaction, especially if you are selling something. No way I would do anything in that instance unless there was an escrow arrangement. Stuff on here, in gen... | |
