| Finding source of sibilance Assuming your system is set up properly (im sure it is) how long have you had this equipment? It takes roughly 100 hours of burn in time before things open up and sound right.Try not to jump to worse case conclusions right away, its probably somet... | |
| Recommend some Jazz to me There are many people who love Duke Ellington (big band/swing) I am one of them as well, many of the artists that played with Duke also did solo work. Johnny Hodges (saxaphone) is one of the these artists. Also, Jimmy Smith is one of my all time f... | |
| Do i belong here The sqeezebox uses OPTICAL and RCA digital out put, for the best sound use the RCA digital connection and most all DACS have RCA digital input so the door is wide open as far as a DAC is concerned. I have heard great things about DACS from Shiit a... | |
| What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25 Nelson Pass has been around for decades! Who is SUGDEN? Pass by a mile! (pun intended) :-) | |
| Cartridge for my Rega RP6 Chakster, Do turntables and tonearms all sound the same? Are some better for certain genres of music than others? The answer is YES! And cartridges are no different, thats why they make MM’s, MC’s, MI’s. Cartridges are tiny amplifiers, are amplifi... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Because they are stuffing to much stuff into one box! Ive never liked Integrated amps myself.Matt M | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? Chakster, Ive heard the Ortofon 2M on a AT LP120 Turntable ($350) running through my Manley Chinook phono pre and Jumbo Shirmp linestage with Dynaudio Contour 3.0 speakers driven by a McIntosh MC352. My system is very sensitive to the source and w... | |
| Pro-ject rpm 10 carbon(new) vs Pro-ject Xtension 12 vs Pro-ject Signature 10 The Xtension 12 is a $4500 table. The Signature series Starts at $6000 for the Sig 10 and goes to $13,000 for the Sig 12, that’s a huge difference imo . I think the real deal here is the RPM 10 at $3500, If your going Pro-ject.

| Cartridge for my Rega RP6 If you like Classical/Chamber and Opera or Folk, I would get a Clearaudio Maestro Ebony V2 MM ($1200). If you like Jazz and Rock and Blues try a Dynavector 20x2 MC ($995). Either of these would be a excellent match with the RP6. Why you think goin... | |
| Pro-ject rpm 10 carbon(new) vs Pro-ject Xtension 12 vs Pro-ject Signature 10 The Signature is way more expensive than the Xtension or RPM, I really like the Pro-ject RPM 10 for that Cadenza Black though. The Signature could use a Lyra! | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp I have used $200 (Pro-ject) phono pre amps and $1200 (Musical Surroundings) ones as well, also ones inside some McIntosh preamps. But once I made the jump to the Manley Labs Chinook, now this is a whole new level! Really... in terms of detail and ... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs MSB Link DAC III (Nelson edition) With powerbase :-) | |
| Speakers and Amps So I’ll start off by saying I had a 1969 MGC GT back in the mid eighties, if you know what that is :-) My close friend owned a TR6 at the same time. I loved those cars. As far as this all in one Naim Unity Star 70watts per channel my not be enough... | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? The Ortofon 2M red should not be the problem...Are you using a record mat? Felt and cork ones tend to diminish highs. What is the capacitance set at? MM’s are sensitive to this. The 2M wants 150-300 Pf. Also, long cables add to the capacitance as ... | |
| Amp match for a paradigm signature s2 system tencijup, For around $1200 you can buy a MC7100 but this is only a 2-channel McIntosh amp. Call Audio Classics, try and find a MC7104 (2/3/4 channel) they might have one for around $1500. http://www.audioclassics.comMatt M |
