| PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions Somewhat sadly, It's doubtful now that I myself will anytime in the near future get my hands on a PS Audio GCPH, as about acweek ago, I bought a used, mint Sutherland PhD from another A-Goner for what I feel was a very excellent price.While I have... | |
| McIntosh vs. Accuphase Hi Brian, While I cannot recommend one brand versus another in this situation, and peobably many can't accurately, due to not having both particluar brand Amps in front of them to A/B test, I believe that damping factor specifications are a over-e... | |
| Speaker cables I've just recently gone through this, as I'm in the process of doing up some cables for my Mac Amps.I myself ordered 3/16" Audioquest Spades from RamElectronics, they come in two sizes for up to 14ga, or up to 10ga, and the cost was reasonable eno... | |
| What tracking force for Shure V15lll? I'm sorry Viridian, I made an error in my last reply, as I meant to say that I used to set tracking on my V-15 at 1.5gm, not 1.2gm.mark | |
| What tracking force for Shure V15lll? Howdy Viridian,I own 2 Shure V-15 Type III Cartridges, and directly from the factory booket that came with this Cartridge, VTF is recommended fro. .75gm to 1.25gm.Typically, I'd usually set my own at 1.2gm, as at the lighter settings, mine seemed ... | |
| How to Manage Rhea "Noise" I reckon you'll have to go through the experimentation of trying different things to try to pinpoint what the cause is, and how then to eliminate it.I'm hoping other Rhea owners will chime in, and give you better advice than I can, but probably th... | |
| opinions on bookshelf monitors: proac v. ae I've heard those baby Pro-Ac's once, and IMO that is one sweet little speaker. Truly impressive sound! Only downside I see with them, is a person cannot expect a small mini-monitor like this to give window shattering low register bass. That can be... | |
| Low output MC to match my phono stage Hmm, I think Nsgarch (Neil) will agree that Plinius is sort of telling a mistruth here in that 47K will be suitable for all MC Cartridges, as it won't. A shame that so many manufacturers seem to overlook a variety of both gain, and loading with th... | |
| phono channel output IMO, yes, it might be normal, but that doesn't make it likeable-desireable, as it's apparent in Rb's case.I'm thinking that these modern day integrated MM stages are still adhering to the old MM standard, in which most MM Cartridges of yesteryear ... | |
| Teres Motor on a VPI HW-19 Turntable Well, I'll agree, yes..... and no. yep, the VPI HW-19 is history as far as VPI is concerned. Although, it has spartan looks, especially compared to a turntable like the La luce, and so many other now, the bottom line is, what constitutes great ana... | |
| What gives with Sutherland Engineering? Thank you Audiomax. You are correct, and I have contacted them this morning. Thank you! Mark | |

| Best Mcintosh solid-state amp 200-300 watts? Wasn't the 7106 a 6-channel amp, to go with the MX-130?And the 7104 a 4-channel Amp? I think so. mark | |
| Good cartridge for Audioquest PT6 arm ??? Hey Dreadhead, thank you for the kind compliments, and you've made my day knowing that I've helped someone here.Actually, I consider myself a "Dummy" in this forum. There's people in here, who's system costs more than the house I live in!None the ... | |
| Best Mcintosh solid-state amp 200-300 watts? Bearotti, you made no mention about what vintage Mac Amp? New?, Older?For an older unit, a clean used MC-7270 would fit the bill quite nicely, with 270WPC RMS. I've never heard, or seen in person the MC-402, but the MC-352 is a killer unit, and I ... |
