| Upgrading from Integrated Amp to Separates Check out Modwright, also I would consider a excellent McIntosh MC275 tube amp with a Mcintosh C22 preamp. This combo with the Harbeths would be a match made in heaven.....call Audio Classics for mac gear. www.mcintoshlabs.comhttp://www.modwright... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Oppo makes the Sonica DAC and im sure will see streamer/non disc players from them soon. simao, If you connect a Aurender XL100 streamer (USB audio input), now you have the finest sounding streamer AND the Conductor app with built in Tidal as well... | |

| Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s! I have a pair of Dynaudio Contour 3.0's and I drive them with a double balanced push-pull solid state amp with 350wpc. McIntosh a match made in heaven if you want them to sound musical. Matt M | |
| Best hub like apple TV or Airport express etc to use for home with multiple stereo systems Bluesound family of products. Its Sonos but better :-) Matt | |

| Why are my woofers pumping? Subsonic/rumble filters are crap! You have to use a combination of things 1. record clamp 2. Cart/tonearm compliance 3. Isolation 4.overall setup... I still get woofer pumping but not nearly to the extent it was happening before. I find that using... | |
| Paypal issue beware. This is why I only accept a gold bar now for payment and then it must clear my bank first before shipping!! (new rules after getting burned on a sale last year)Matt M | |
| Phono cable recommendations Why is your system humming? I would try and cure this before throwing money at cables. Hum is caused by many things, lamps, transformers, bare leads, or missing insulation on any cartridge clip wires, ground loop, ect...Matt M | |
| Rotel rsp 1572 anthem statementd2 or krell s100 For the REVELS's I would go with the ROTEL. Maybe the Anthem, I think a warmer amp is the one to choose. Matt | |
| If not an Oppo 205 then what? Marantz makes comparable players as the Oppo's. Also Cambridge Audio as well are in the Oppo's price range for universal players.Matt | |
| Replace a 0.5 mV Grado Reference Sonata 1 for a Dynavector-DV20X2-H 2.8 mV ??? In reply I do own a Grado Reference Sonata wood body (high output MI) I use mainly on a Thornes TD160. I recently sold the 10X5 to my brother along with my Pro-Ject Xtension 10. Now I run a J.A. Michell Gyro SE with the 20X2L mounted on the latest... | |
| Tonearm rewiring I did the same thing to my Pro-Ject Xtension 10. I had to then buy a good HOT soldering iron, I also used pure silver solder and placed just a dab on the clip, then using the iron you melt the insulation on wire back enough to expose a little bare... | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 I own a Thornes TD160 and the best cartridge I ever heard on it was a Grado Sonata Ref wood body ($650). If you want a table that will stay with you forever, I 2nd the J.A. Michell Gyro SE with Techno Arm it is a excellent sounding table. I purcha... | |
