| 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 ... | |

| 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 | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range The single point source driver that KEF employs is indeed stellar at imaging (thats what they do best) but I would also look at ...Martin Logan, they would be a completely different sound (u wanna talk about sound stage) from Proacs, and they pair... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless integration with REL sub On the Kefs I would have Sub gain set at 0 or nominal, (dont use the controls on the KEF app to adjust sub, keep any filters off let the KEFS do what they do) then add the REL (it should be placed facing the center of the room in the corner to the... | |
| Thorens TD 145 MK 1 ; How Many Tonearm Options Are There? It sounds to me like you really like that Thornes table after all the work you have put into redoing the plinth. Any tonearm would be a huge up grade over that TP16, so I would throw a different tonearm on it and keep it. The RP6 is a great table ... | |
