| What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record? Peel off the hype sticker, if there is one, and apply it to an outer sleeve. Open and inspect. Clean in the ultrasonic machine and add the album to Discogs while doing so. When dry, play the album and check out the artwork. When done, place in... | |
| REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers I have not found any difference between connecting at the amps vs speakers with my pair of REL T5x on several different amps except for my Naim. For some reason the volume output was reduced when connected at the amp. With stereo pairs, REL rec... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? From what I gather from the manual LRS+ are optimized to sound excellent in a good room (treated/ not too lively) and that they do, very much so. They included resistors to help correct a less than optimal room. When I first got my pair, I found ... | |
| Phono stage for second system +1 on the iPhono3 Black Label Very small footprint, 85dB noise floor, gain settings from 36 to72 dB, it sounds amazing. | |
| Cold weather storage The big thing to worry about is moisture and maybe extreme temperature changes. I have had a system in my detached garage for over 10 years and it still works perfectly. The garage is unheated but is insulated so I don't have those issues menti... | |
| Need Simple, Easy-to-Use "Goof Proof" Audio Headshell Recommendation Do you have the alignment gauge that came with the SL1200GR? If your cart has threads, just put both screws in and tighten until the cart will not slide easily in the headshell slots. Then using the gauge, line up the stylus tip as per Technics ... | |

| Fosi V3 Mono Break-In Thanks for the info guys. The monos arrived last night and I tried them with the pre-out on my Naim Unitilite but it uses a DIN to RCA cable and the one I have is bad (introducing noise) so the sound was not great. I ordered the Pre90 last night a... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono Break-In @audiodwebe I have a pair of the V3 Mono on the way to try with a set of LRS+. What preamp are you using with them? | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Have a look at the Muzishare X7. I've had one for almost a year now, well built and sounds excellent. I had looked at the Willsenton but they had way too many issues, the X7 has been rock solid quality wise. | |
| Phono cable for SL-1200G Generally you want a low capacitance cable between the turntable and phono stage. Look to see what manufacturers give measurements for this. I'm using a lowly Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 which is 12.2 pF/ft (36.6 pF/ft over 3 feet) it was a noticeable... | |
| Clearaudio Concept with Satisfy Tonearm or Technics 1200 GR @pgastone I haven't tried any other mats, I do use a turntable clamp and I did notice an improvement. The only other tweak I have done is add a KAB tonearm damper and to be honest I'm not sure if it made any difference. | |
| Clearaudio Concept with Satisfy Tonearm or Technics 1200 GR I have had both and was able to compare them directly. I had a Clearaudio Concept but with the Verify arm for about 7 years. It's a nice looking deck and sounds good too. However mine required the platter bearing to cleaned re-oiled quite freque... | |
| Technics SL 1200 GR I think you'll be pleased with that AT cartridge. Here's a common sort of stylus gauge... Stylus gauge Amazon On my SL1200 I use a tracking force of 1.8g for my 540ML. Technics advises to set the antiskate to the same value as you set the trac... | |
| Technics SL 1200 GR I moved from a Clearaudio Concept to a SL1200GR because of it's removable headshell. I thought it would be a lateral move sound quality wise, but it wasn't, the direct drive Technics sound floor is more quiet and the speed is always dead on. Oth... |
