| What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable? ++millercarbon Wow! He covered everything! A REALLY important consideration is Cartridge Compliance and the Tonearm choice that MC mentioned above. A rigid arm requires a compliant cartridge! Much more than 10. The more the better if using a ... | |
| Belles research? Hi Voodoo:I Purchased the A100 amplifier and it’s complementary preamp in 1983, new. I sold the amplifier about a year ago. It was still operational. I recently gave the preamp to my daughter after having the caps replaced. At the time it was a w... | |
| Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron Oh yeah, I forgot. Ortofon’s website shows how to make the calculation and meet the resonant frequencies that will work for your cart/arm. I’m only saying this because I see different cartridge manufacturer’s names being suggested. You will nee... | |
| Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron Do you know if the SME3009R is a rigid or compliant arm? The cartridge you buy, whether it be MM or MC, must match the compliance of the arm. A compliant cartridge fits with a stiff arm and vice versa. This is important because it will result i... | |
| Missing coherent dynamite speakers Thank you spellcheck. | |
| Missing coherent dynamite speakers Sorry Everybody. Thinking of coincidence. Thank you all | |
| Music Reference RM 10/Reference 3aMM Thanks. That’s what I needed to hear. The Focals are not neutral. They have what some described as “scratchy” a the high end. Neutral would be wonderful.ml | |
| Music Reference RM 10/Reference 3aMM Thanks all. I haven’t made any purchases as yet. My Rogue pre was recently rebuilt at the factory. New board new everything including tubes. The phono pre is brand new also. Both were broken in at the factory. I’m in pursuit is matching amp and sp... | |
| Slight Hardness on LP's You do not need to buy anything. drrsutliff is correct. The vertical tracking angle on your arm is not set correctly. Go to soundSmith.com they describe exactly what you're referring to and how to solve it-that is by changing the VTA. bent | |
| What to do with broken McIntosh Pre-Amp Oops. Pittsburgh. My apologies It’s the same answer though!Bent | |
| What to do with broken McIntosh Pre-Amp Hi HoopieThe smoke you saw, and maybe heard a fizzy sound, was a capacitor burning out. Easy fix! Not $800.00 (unless you want it to be) Find an shop that does repairs. They can replace the capacitor for less than $200. They should be able to r... | |
| PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model Shipping....$95 ground to ship with $2k insurance from Boulder to Rogue Audio (heavy preamp) in Pennsylvania. I think it was $55 shipping without insurance. Insurance is $$$. (Imagine the cost for shipping a $12,000 PSA power unit back to them .... | |
| PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model I would be surprised if they change their real pricing. I didn’t look today, but they had been offering at least 25% off retail if you traded in a decent piece. Underwood is offering the BHK Pre for $3888 without a trade and has for months. PS A... | |
| AMP or Preamp Do a search for the Audiogon subject below: someone just spoke about the Belles integrated the other day. I had Belles pre and amp years ago. It was well ahead of its time and at VERY reasonable cost!<BELLES 250i INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER>Bent | |
| Funny noise from Tube system I have a Rogue Magnum 99 also. It’s suffering the same issues that you have But only on the left channel. I do not have an amplifier as I use amplified speakers. I live in the Colorado foothills. We get a lot of Lightning, even in the winter. (2nd... |
