| What does more power do for Magnepans? "it's too bad you weren't at an audio meeting when i demonstrated the 1.6s with a 4 watt amp." As I said, there is no wrong answer but, rather, what each of us like. I like low powered amps with efficient speakers but not with planars. I don't kno... | |
| Comparing VPI Scoutmaster to Pro-ject RM10 Doesn't sound like a sideways move but rather a step back.Can you live with the RM10 before you dump the VPI? | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? We like what we like. There is no wrong answer. I've heard Magnepans (I have 1.6s and have owned 1.4s and 2.7s)) with low power and hated the presentation. I wouldn't own them if I couldn't drive them with lots of clean power. | |

| Setting antiskate on a Pro-ject arm Vinylrowe's advice is good and I agree. I don't know the table but, logically, the notch closest to the pivot will provide less tension and, hence, lest anti-skate. However,I may be wrong. | |
| Setting antiskate on a Pro-ject arm If you can't hear a difference leave it in the middle notch. You won't damage your records with it in any of the three locations. Listen for innergroove distortion as the arm gets closer to the label. If you don't here any distortion the anti-skat... | |
