| garrard vs clearaudio innovation I’m not a fan of belt driven turntables. I have a 301 in a walnut plinth, and the 301 sits on springs in the plinth. Similar to my modified Dual 1229. I also had a EMT 927 which is the best table I’ve ever heard period. Never any feed back or... | |
| McIntosh MC2152 power amp technical question I used to own a ton of Mac. Send it in! If it is a manufactured fault they will repair it for free, regardless of how many owners there have been. If you have to pay for a repair, it will be done right and with a warranty. Their rates are no mo... | |
| Help me put together a $1000 (give or take) headphone rig -- new or used I used to be a studio musician here in Chicago. This is now what you want to hear, but we always used KOSS, Pro IV II or PRO IV III.I know the sound of a Martin D-45, a Bosendorfer grand piano, a well tuned Slingerland drum set etc. The Koss pho... | |
| Cassette Decks in 2019 There is nothing wrong with the TASCAM. No, it isn’t built like the units based on the TEAC C-1, but I’ve seen and heard them and like it or not, they record and play well.Vintage machines however can be purchased reasonably and serviced without ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Mike Lavigne, I have been scouring the internet looking up your turntable.. very impressive. Maybe I missed it in a post, but I am curious which arm and cartridge you are using?It’s so refreshing to see such a well designed table. I look forward... | |
| Are You a Sansui Lover? Love Sansui. My 9090db seems to do everything just right. I love it. I have several vintage Sansui’s and they all have some special about them. My old Marantz pieces run a close second. Not as sweet, but really very good. | |

| Tube integrated McIntosh MA-230, silly typo. | |
| Tube integrated Sansui AU-111, McIntoah MA-230, would both fit the bill.N. | |
| Sansui 2000A Vintage receiver question No relay click. I think that was first present on the 8089-9090 series which I own.My Sansui 551,771, 2000x, 3300, AU-999, AU-717 do not have a relay delay. My CA-2000 preamp does, along with the already mentioned 9090DB.If your 2000A has preamp... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Most my age have heard the SP-10...many times. No one will ever argue that it isn’t a fine table, but it will never deliver the Pace-Pitch-Power of a 927. Even the lesser Duals, Garrard, and Lencos with idler drive display this quality. But whe... | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet The Audio Technical audio insulators are the way to go. They are adjustable and work great. They also last decades.N. | |
| static Issues...anybody know why? Do like many of the old timers would do when static was a problem. Play the record damp or wet. It works. I know many who always play their vinyl wet. Works. My dear audio buddy has been doing that for fifty years now. | |
| Sansui AU-111 vacuum tube amplifier I agree that the Sansui AU-111 is amazing, and to me would be the piece to own. Sansui is the one company who’s solid state gear also sounds wonderful. I have many Sansui receivers both tube and solid state along with several integrated amps, an... |
