| Dahlquist DQ-10 fuse holders and other upgrades? Remove the fuse. It's a relic from 20+ years ago that had it's place when speakers were inefficient, and underpowered amps were often driven into clipping which resulted in driver damage. If your amp is 100+ watts and you keep the SPL under 103 dB... | |
| "Seeing" a Musical Performance I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It's just semantics. | |
| HRT Streamer+ Thanks Clio. I appreciate your input. It does seem like price points are dropping and performance is increasing. We seem to be entering a new age for digital. There are so many new devices and innovations out there. It's hard to keep up. | |
| Best transformer for MC Denon 103R The Cinemags are an excellent match for the 103. That's not the problem.I see from a previous thread you have Sota Sapphire and Sumiko F4 arm. How did you mount the cartridge? What protractor did you use?What phono stage are you using? | |
| Cassette deck enthusiasts...... Nakamichi BX-300. 3 heads. Super reliable. Excellent sounding Dirt cheap at this point. | |

The MHDT website says: "Same circuit as older Paradisea with a little different in PCB trace layout." In addition to USB input, the plus and ... | |
| MC cart, can I use MM phono preamp? Doug, I'm curious what that $125MM cart is. | |

| Alon II Mark II It's not clear what you plan on doing, but I agree with Btaudio. Alon's need room to breath. The other thing to consider is resale value. Hacked up equipment is worth a lot less and it's harder to sell. | |
| Do you cover your towers? Undoubtably speakers that have been blanket covered will give a warmer sound.That explains what I've been hearing! I thought it was the cables I just bought. doh! I wonder if an electric blanket would help even more? | |
| Do you cover your towers? I cover mine with blankets whenever I'm not using them. I do this mainly to keep sunlight off the drivers. My listening room gets a lot of sun. | |
| Help selecting amplification with phono What's your impression of the Jasmine 2.0? Any thoughts to share? | |
| Which New Preamp To Get ? What's your budget? | |
| Help selecting amplification with phono Redglobe, I have two questions: 1) Is your $1600 budget for amp, preamp and phone stage? If so, I don't think you can make a significant upgrade to all three. If your amp and speakers work well together, keep them and focus on upgrading your pream... | |
| Audible Illusions Preamp I'm shocked to hear people say the Modulus 3A lacks dynamics. It must be an equipment mismatch. I'm intimately familiar with it in a system where it feeds a pair of Plinius SA100 MKIII driving a pair of Shahinian Hawks. The front end is a VPI MK I... |
