| Ribbons or electrostatic speakers with SS Amp? I tried a XA30.5 on my Martin Logan CLSIIA's and it sounded great, however, no where near the power that I needed. I do have a bigger room and listen a little loud, (but not overly so).I also tried a pair of the XA60.5 monos and still I thought th... | |
| Vinyl ratings for audiophiles Analog Planet, Mikey Fremer's website had some excellent reviews of audiophile vinyl:http://www.analogplanet.com/category/album-review | |
| New cartridge no sound Make sure the connector from the tonearm to the junction box is plugged in all the way. It should kind of "snap" in. It might look like it's plugged in, but make sure it really is.Also make sure the stylus is pushed all the way into the cartridge ... | |
| Condition of speakers Souljasmooth...I completely agree with you. What I have found is that people will tend to turn, (toe in or out) the speaker not the stand and that is what causes the marring on the bottom. Some stands are really heavy when loaded with shot and/or ... | |
| Condition of speakers Lindisfarne...it really depends on the stands you are using. Some of them use smaller spikes that face up. Kinda hard to not mark up the bottom of the speaker using such stands.I was in the high-end business for 25 years, so I've seen LOTS of this... | |
| Condition of speakers I think it's almost impossible to use stand mounted speakers, (on stands) without marring the bottoms a little. I agree it should have been disclosed in the ad, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me unless they had very deep gouges and/or sever... | |
| Richard and Linda I have several different versions of this LP. My favorite by a small margin is on the Wax Cathedral label followed by my West German import copy. | |
| Magtech Amplifier Carl...you might want to give Roger a call or email. Mine never ran hot to the touch and I was driving Martin Logan CLSIIA's and Maggie 3.6's. Mine was well ventilated. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers 4musica...Klyne Audio Arts is still alive and kickin'. They just don't advertise much nor summit samples for review, but is still an excellent company. | |
| Are different stereo amp models in same system ok? "Must I use the same amp model for a 2nd amp?"Yes, unless you are going to use an outboard crossover, which would have volume (level) controls to match the output of two different amps.http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=458761 | |

| Charge for TT setup? IMHO, the setup should be included in the price of a $6K table. I would have never charged you for this back when I had my stores.OTOH, what's an extra $100 when you are spending six grand? | |

| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD The Grado cartridges are a moving iron design and have always been notorious for hum problems with turntables/tonearms that have less than ideal shielding of the motor. This has been well documented. I was a Grado dealer for many, many years and k... |
