| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? Thanks for the encouragement both from Dgarreston and Bobby. I know I have to do what I have to do but man when I bought these things I was assured that the pre amp connection would be fine. Now folks are saying other things. I really don't want a... | |
| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? So Bobby, If I don't have a tape loop and I have multiple sources, whats the next step for the SBAM? Am I out of luck and should I sell the speakers right now!? The pre amp stays so there's no wiggle room there.What are my choices? I certianly do ... | |
| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? Bobby, Thanks for your response. I certianly am open-minded I just have not set up the BAM yet. I will though. I mostly us a TT. In this case, is it not better to set it up between my pre and amp? Pre is a tubed unit. | |
| massive brass plate for isolation If your looking to isolate a TT especially with spiked feet, I've been experimenting with 1" thick plate of aluminuim braced on the bottom with cross bars of 3/4" square aluminuim. I've had some great results so far as a top to DIY sandboxes. A co... | |

| How Do You Organize Your Music? This is a fine question. | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it I have just rediscovered my love of vinyl again, which I did not listen to since I was just a youngin'. I did this largely based on the advice of folks here but my own curiosity and interest in music generes that are available on vinyl led me ther... | |
| Springsteen's "Magic" on vinyl, opinions? I own both. The cd id horrible, I threw it away. Haven'y gotten to the vinyl yet, sorry to hear its not much of an improvement. | |
| Anyone else like Nick Drake ? Hey Nick! Fantastic stuff. Maybe Calexico. Iron and Wine did some stuff with them as well that turned out really good. | |
| What made you select "audio" as your hobby I'm with Viridian on this one. Some way to extract even more from the music I love and a great way to expand into music I never imagined. | |
| Analog Help Please Thanks for the info gentleman. Always appreciated. One thing I noticed, and I have not had a chance to play around today, is that volume made a difference. Right now I know my TT is insufficiently isolated, I can jump on the floor and have the nee... | |
| best cartridge for 60,70's classic rock, folk .... Doug has a great point here. The Atmos allows me to hit the rock when I want, but I certianly am not there all the time. More often than not, I enjoy, intimate folk, blues and jazz club feels and the Atmos clarity, as pointed out by Doug, allows m... | |
