| Thanks to all the participants and respondents I hope you will provide an update once everything is up and running. I'm curious about your impression of the X 250. | |
| Magnapan vs. Von Schweikert I have a very large cross section of the the musical spectrum, but having grown up in the north in the 70's the majority of what I own is classic rock. I do have a fair selection of Jazz and a smaller amount of classical too. In an evening I will ... | |
| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? When you live in Wisconsin you do whatever you can to keep warm. That's why I buy class A amps. They sound good and warm the room. Unless I'm gone for a while the amps stay on. | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... Brauser "took the words right outta my mouth. It must have been while he was kissin me..." Never mind.I tried tubes and I really liked them after they broke-in and before they burned out. That was the best fifteen minutes of my life.There are lots... | |
| Power Cords - Pixie Dust? You didn't mention whether you have tried other power cords in your system so I'm not sure if you have experienced the difference. I began as a total sceptic. About six years ago I canceled my subscription to Stereophile because they started talki... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck What thread have you been reading 6chac? There was all kinds of excitement, even though everyone was having fun. I sure did. Differences of opinions don't make anyone wrong. They are just opinions and lots of people got to share their opinion abou... | |
| Willing to be proved wrong. Several good cartridges have already been mentioned. It looks like most of them are MM but a good MC would work also. Take a look at the Sumiko Blue Point, or the Blue Point Special if you can justify the difference. I have used and liked both of ... | |
| Pass Labs Service As far as the pricing goes, I know the new amps and pre-amps are expensive, but look at their direct competition. Mark Levinson and Krell get a lot more money for a comparable piece and I'm not sure they are still better. I have a hard time beleiv... | |
| Overrated & Underrated Brauser, I have purchased a few things in this catagory over the last few years and have been surprised by the quality available. It occurs to me that "Contemporary Christian" musicians are less trapped in a particular musical style than "Pop" mus... | |
| The best Carl Orff Carmina Burana? I guess I will miss it then. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? My favorite would probably not be the most talented. There are lots of musicians I like that are not on the top of the talent heap.The most talented would be Phil Keaggy. The list of favorites could go on ad nauseum. | |
| Pass Labs Service I was just in the market for a new amp, and I narrowed it down to two. One being the Pass Labs X 250. I went with the other because I got a great deal on an amp that should be as good or better. I know the other company is good about service, but ... | |
| Cartridge Alignment Newbie Question I have a Rega RB 900 and I always use the Mobile Fidelity Geodisc. I think it is much more accurate than most others. There are some "hi end" alignment tools you can buy for BIG money but I think the Geodisc generally gets thing where they should ... | |
| Overrated & Underrated I think several of your "under rated" are over rated! | |
| "must have" accessories for TT and LP? 1) The "HiFi" mod made by TWL, depending of course on what kind of arm you have. 2) A good record cleaner, and lots of good LPs. 3) Make sure you have a stable platform for your TT. |
