| Used Amp Under $1000 DNA-1, hands down the best sounding amp on the list. Which I know having had one. And which you probably know, having the McCormack pre amp. Although to be honest I never heard the pre by itself, just assume the same sonic priorities come through.... | |
| Questions on next steps with my power amp Okay would be nice if you could return the amp but if not no use crying over spilled watts.You keep saying DAC but I'm not seeing anything makes me think you need a DAC. Since you inherited all this from your dad I would assume he had everything y... | |
| Questions on next steps with my power amp Well you have several things going on let's tackle them one at a time.Your amp accepts what we call line level inputs. But your Onkyo does not have line level outputs. Your computer certainly does, and your CD player and tape deck probably do as w... | |
| Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? tooblue I am going to have to seek that out, have the album but don't remember the song. I too am a big Taupin fan, what a pair they proved to be and can't wait to see the twist Hollywood puts on the up coming movie. Well I just watched the Rock... | |
| Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? Evidently its not just me. Asked a guy at work, did you know High Flying Bird, the girl is a suicide? Nope. He like me thought she just left him.I thought Steely Dan's Black Cow was just a fun song about a party girl until one day listening a litt... | |
| Pre-Preamp? If by preamp you mean phono stage then: Herron VTPH-2A | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? coachpconnor,Just to further counter the inexperience based misinformation above, here is what Origin Live has to say about the relevance of compliance matching: Cartridge compliance calculations are an overrated simplification of complex problem... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? See what I mean?I would just go check out the CL table. Ideally mount your cart and play a record. But if for some reason you can’t, then check it out. Pull the platter, turn the bearing by hand feeling for smoothness and slop. Check the belt for ... | |
| Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable? On the question of lambasting at least, got to say, I agree. He's not lambasting. Lambasting, done right, calls for wit and intelligence. But just look what he wrote: By 'non-contact', I'm not implying a huge gulf between the transducer and the g... | |
| Changing the network cable make any difference? So, you are into cables that do NOT need to be plugged in? | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? coachpoconnor,One thing you got to learn around here, lotta guys with next to no actual experience perfectly content to blow smoke throwing terms around trying to sound good. Classic knows just enough to be dangerous scenario. Now at this point, b... | |
| Power condtioning/filtering Mia copa? Your cup? Well it does sort of sound like mia culpa.That's a malapropism by the way. Like polo bear.If it was me though I'd try and pretend I was trying to say the Gate is so good its my Grail.Because, I mean, it is that good? Right? | |
| More Or Less Better, Or Worse? Yes that is odd. Why wouldn't you notice the same amount of difference either way? Tires get hard and lose grip over time even just sitting around but I wouldn't expect most guys to notice the tires they mount come spring don't stick like they did... | |
| 5 Pin DIN to amplifier outputs? Of course you can make it. Anything that's made, someone made it. If they could, you can.DIN though, it isn't old school, its pro school. Whatever. Download a proper search engine (Duck Duck Go, anything but the Goolag) and look for a DIN wiring d... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? Whatever.I must say though, having read the reviews, VERY impressed with your cartridge! All the cool guys have one. At least one. Really cool dudes have like three or four. Sometimes, you even meet a girl who uses a Denon DL-103, but she is invar... |
