| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Sorry Hartwerger, My post did leave a bit to be explained, and was sort of vague re-reading back.I'll explain further.My opinion of Outer Sleeves, is that yes, they will actually protect the LP itself, even though one might not be able to see imme... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Hello, There's numerous places to buy Sleeves. One, is Sleeve Town (Or is it Sleeve City)Usually places like Elusive Disc, Needle Doctor, Garage A Records sell them.I have always bought my Poly Lined Inner, and Outer Sleeves from MusicDirect. www.... | |
| Cartridge Leads Gentlemen, I do thank you all for your helpful, and informative replies.I have noted that Dedicated Audio shows the Cardas Leads, one, at about $116, with the Rhodium Plated "coil spring" style connectors, and the next one down the list, for about... | |
| JBL L300 Summit vs. Olympus w/S8R system True, the L-300's are an efficient speaker.A slight correction DoubleBass, that 4400 Marantz you have/had puts out 125wpc in Stereo if memory serves me correctly (I owned a new one back in the day). Mark | |
| Please help with speaker choices Hello Peter. Nick Sushi, Nick Doshi, whoever, I never heard of this equipment, and I'm sure it's head, and shoulders over mine.Since your "first system" was comprised of Jeff Rowland, I take it, you didn't take a step down!I'm surprised no CDP, or... | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? I do understand folks that a better Tonearm than the AQ PT-7/8 would no doubt imporve performance. Since I'm already drilled for the AQ, that still does leave a few options.Basically, the AQ Arm is not a bad one. I've probably read literal 100's o... | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? I'm certainly not in disagreement with your assessments of the AQ Arm JCarr/PiedPiper.While a very good "what I call entry level audiophile Arm", there's not much path for improvement for upgrades/tweaks with this Arm.Why have I never heard/read a... | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? Hello Doug, To start out, I'd like to say thank you for responding, and also to thank you for your countless posts, and contributions to this group, which many I have read. I've read numerous archived posts regarding many of the top highly regarde... | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? I truly do thank you folks for the comments so far, and you have all "reconfirmed" my thoughts, that low output would be the way to go with Benz.Being here for a couple of years now, I've read literal 1000's of posts, and I thank the A-Gon folks v... | |
| Best vintage Marantz receivers? Hello Hitter,I wouldn't suspect the Silver-Faced 2285B version sounding different than the Black-Faced Euro version.Only differences I saw, was the different Power Cords, the 2285B had already had the Power Cord Changed, but I did have to convert ... | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? In addition to what was previously written, so others can perhaps give a better recommendation-suggestion for a Cartridge, is that my original HO Glider is being used on an upgraded VPI HW-19 Jr, with MK-IV Platter, AQ PT-7 Arm (AQ Emerald Cable) ... | |
| VPI SDS Whys and Hows? Chazzbo/All,Thanks all for the responses. Seems to be the consensus, that I'd be wise to consider the SAMA, but not to knock myself out worrying about the Power Cord.I's assume the new SAMA compatible for the HW-19 does come with its own Power Cor... | |
| VPI SDS Whys and Hows? Hello Chazzbo, I am using the Audioquest PT-7 Arm, with Expressimo Weight, older AQ Emerald Cable, and Benz Micro HO Glider. run into both the SDS, and Pre-Amp is the Sutherland PhD.Getting the SDS, and PhD pretty close to the same time, I have no... | |
| Ques on Mcintosh and Power Meters Whay are LED's better? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sure you're not hearing an audible difference by saving about 1-1/2 watts of juice at best Two MC-2105 Amps bought new. 29 years later, none, not even a one burned out. I decided to chang... | |
| Best vintage Marantz receivers? Out of 9 Marantz 70's recievers I have owned, the very best in sound-sonics I felt was the absolutely mint 2285B Black Face Euro version I owned. (and also had the matching 5025 Casette)Dummy that I was to ever sell this pair, which I did about 4 ... |
