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...

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 ... 
PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions
The reason I ask for you "real" folk for a review, and personal opinions about this unit, is that I read the Stereophile review of this unit, which I believe was inJan 06's edition.Robert Deutsche (sp) starts out the review with the Statement that... 
PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions
To further speak of this very promising unit, I did join the PS Audio Discussion group, and posted some question there, in which Mr. Paul Mcgowan himself responded.Paul states that they are seriously considering also doing a Special, or Limited Ed... 
Good cartridge for Audioquest PT6 arm ???
Generally Dreadhead, having the Cantilever Tube of the Tonearm level to the LP's Surface when the Cartridge is in the playing position is a good place to start with the PT-6, and generally any Tonearm.To set overhand which is essential, You'll nee...
