Great tracker cart $100
Ortofon 2M RedShure M97xE 
Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII
You might want to turn the back contour controls from far right to far left a few times. They might just be dirty and be in a "null" point. Also make sure they aren't turned all the way down.

Canare 4S11. Spend the money you saved on music.

"allowing you to listen to music at five times the bitrate, 1,411 kbps versus 320 kbps."This is NOT hi-res, (the music streaming industry calls this high quality) This is CD quality. CD's are recorded at 16 bit, 44.1 khz which is 1411kbps. There s... 
Drop ship components from a Wilson dealer?
As far as reconing. Bill Legall at MillerSound is the BEST. He could probably fix your blown midrange too.He fixed, (better than new) a rare, single full range driver for me that everyone else said couldn't be done and there was no replacement to ... 
Need a recommendation for a Mono Cart on a 2nd turntable
I really like my Ortofon 2M Mono. 
Phono stage matching - how critical
Most high output moving coils are designed to work into a standard MM phono stage. As long as you have enough gain, you shouldn't worry about it. 
Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe?
I was a McCormack dealer for many years and have owned most of the amps that Steve has made. Excellent build quality and sound. Couldn't go wrong.IMHO, Belles is one of the most underappreciated and unknown high end manufacturers. I have owned alo... 
Vandersteen 5A's Internal crossovers/batteries
Peter...thanks for the very incisive explanation. I wonder why more manufacturers don't use this method? That's what threw me, I have never really heard of this being done in a crossover before. 
Vandersteen 5A's Internal crossovers/batteries
Hey guys, just a curious question, why are there batteries in the crossover? Do the crossovers have some sort of a software program in them that requires a battery to maintain memory?I do agree that you send them into Vandersteen for replacement.

"Pretty cool, actually. I've never heard a difference in amps before. Now I really want to find out what else is out there."Oh no, it's started. :-) Be prepared to spend lots of money, probably get divorced, have many sleepless nights, be on a fir... 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
You can find that message he sent you under either "Inbox" or "Email Delivery" on the Mypage Home screen here on AudiogoN.I would forward it to AudiogoN and have them remove the neutral feedback.You can also have the dispute decided here on the fo... 
Help me get the best sound under $5K in upgrades
Matt...the MC2255 has 1 and 2 ohm taps on it. McIntosh wouldn't do that if the amp was not capable of those load impedances. Look at the specs I listed above.Also the MC2255 has autoformers, so the impedance of the speaker becomes a non factor. Th... 
REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect
Willie...with all due respect, I completely disagree with your above comments.Cables are the most system dependant of any item, we, as audiophiles have to deal with. I've heard $2000 cables sound like poop, but $200 cables sound fantastic on the s... 
Help me get the best sound under $5K in upgrades
I need to clarify something Matt said above. Maggies do NOT go below 1 ohm, in fact they really don't even come close. 3.2 ohms is about the lowest any Magnepan will drop to and most are around a flat 4 ohm load.One of the only speakers that go th...
