| Sony 777ES Cleaning HelloThe turntable they refer to in the manual is the little part or platter the actual CD rests on (About the size of a quarter). It has the little brass stem that sticks out in the middle that they brass weight installs onto. It's also a little ... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman Hello Quixotic_questÏ will defend your right to "Freedom of speech" no matter what! Be well, and may you have plenty of time to listen to whatever kind music and equipment you like.Cheers,Nocaster | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman To:Cinematic_systemsThe reason I was at my local hi fi store was to pick up a Patricia Barber album. The sales guy spotted the "Vinyl" and started talking to me about equipment. I declined an offer to listen to "Whatever I want" because as I said ... | |
| Speaker Help for McIntosh Tube Equipment I am running my MC2102 with a C2200 through a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri and the combo is fantastic. Very musical and loud enough for me. I should mention my listening room is is approx 10X15. Hope this helps. Cheers,Nocaster. | |
| Audio Research Reference tube phono preamp Hi AgainAlso, I can now confirm that I am using the ARC Ref Phono with a Rega P9 and a Micro Benz LP cartridge. The combination is proving to be outstanding. Very dynanic and super quite, but also extremely musical. I have arrived!! Yes one can sp... | |
| Audio Research Reference tube phono preamp HelloYes I have it hooked up to the line stage on my McIntosh C2200. The C2200 has a provision to change the built in phono stage to an aux input. I simply turned off the built in phono and then plugged the phono to the line/aux stage. The combina... | |

| Cartridge suggestions for Rega P9 I have a P9 w/ RB 1000 arm and have been using the Micro Benz LP with amazing results. However I have it running through an Audio Research Reference Phono Preamp wich in itself is amazing.Cheers. | |
| Rega P25 question HelloBefore I upgraded to the P9 and Micro Benz LP(Ebony) I was using a P25 w/ Micro Benz Ace (Medium output) and was very happy with the combination. | |
| Audio Research Reference tube phono preamp You're right. I could not find a lot about the Ref before I bought it. I have already ordered a P9 with a Benz Ruby cartridge (The Ref deserves it). Vinyl is the way to go, it makes me laugh when I hear about people spending 10K and up on digital ... | |
| Powering Sonus Farber's Guaneri Homage speakers I am now running my Guarneri with a McIntosh MC2102 amp and a McIntosh C2200 preamp and the combination is super. Very sweet and detailed and fatigue free. Other amps I auditioned yielded better things immediately but with extended listening the M... | |
| SF Guarneri Homage or SF Extrema? I would go for the Guarneri. There are a bunch of great speakers that have super dynamics and play loud, including the excellent Extremas. However I believe the Guarneri are in a league by themselves. The Guarneri are magic in the midrange, arguab... | |
| Hi Fi burnout. Hi SeanYou're right on the money. All of my burnout friends equipment was class A and highly regarded in the industry. It's like his stereo was a project in the works, and when it was completed there was nothing left to do but sell it. Plus as he ... | |
| Hi Fi burnout. The gentleman ( Friend of mine) who has sold all his expensive gear is apparently done with (The Gon) as well. It was I who shared his situation with the rest of the Audiogon crew, apparently he couldn't care less. I myself am very happy with my s... | |
| Problem with my Sony SCD-777ES Has Sony ever issued a statement regarding the serial numbers of the units affected, sort of like a re-call. I've had no problems with my SCD777ES at all and I've logged plenty of hours on it and love it. I'm running through a MicIntosh C2200 prea... |
