| Good cartridge for Audioquest PT6 arm ??? Wayne, If you have your McIntosh Manual, check it out, and see what it says. I've never known any Mac gear that had an internal Phono Stage suitable for MC cartridges. Even at 2.5Mv output (like the new Gliders are), a Moving Coil just isn't going... | |
| Good cartridge for Audioquest PT6 arm ??? Wayne, Since you wish to preferably stay with MM, one good recommendation would be to find an NOS Shure V-15 Type III off Ebay. These, in NOS unused condition will go for $300-$350.While I'm sure there are many other good recommendations, as there... | |
| What Speaker for 50 wt Tube Amp- How big a speaker? Mini Monitor? Bookshelf? Floor Model? How about a mint pair of JBL L-100 Speakers for a decent sized bookshelf speaker? (12" 3 way)Either that, or any vintage home JBL Speaker from that period. All were very efficient. Want some... | |

Their name is Sleeve City, and their prices appear to be ve... | |
| PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions Sit, I've noticed on the PS Audio Site, under Warrantee guidlines, that they claim the only current factory authorized E-Tailers are MusicDirect, and Audio Advisor.It's possible that this deal may have no factory warrantee, nor a 30 day free in ho... | |
| great vinyl sound cost as much as great cd sound Hi James/All,Today, surfing around the web, I came across another very interesting site that sells numerous analog "goodies", and this online dealer is called "Sleeve City".Here, I browsed what they had as far as LP Sleeves, and they seemed to hav... | |
| great vinyl sound cost as much as great cd sound Hi Karma, I can wholeheartedly understand your viewpoints, and decisions, and I think you're 100% correct.Sure, one could get a inexpensive rig to mess with, (Say for example a used VPI Jr, or such) but I'm strongly doubting that anything within t... | |
| PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions Howdy Sit, I did go to the PS Audio Site, yet couldn't find any downloadable manuals of any kind.Can you provide a link, or how to find these on the site? Thanks you, Mark | |

| What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp My two McIntosh 2105 Amps are still going strong after 32 years of ownership, and they've never needed service. Never even had a lamp go out, but I did decide to replace them all about 5 years ago. Mark | |

I suppose there's many different ways to look at this topic though.Example, one takes a $29 Rat Shack Cartridge, and... |
