| Tonearm DIN question Wow! That's a real esoteric situation! Interestingly, the DIN on the TT is a REAL DIN. The little ones on tonearm cables these days are not really DIN standard, but rather (according to Jonathan Carr) are something the Japanese developed years ago... | |
| Recommended one make systems? It is possible to do everything from one manufacturer e.g. McIntosh (except for the turntable, cartridge, tonarm) but you will sacrifice quality in certain elements. e.g. Mac's amps and preamps are excellent, but IMO, you could do better with a CD... | |
| Sound of Mcintosh MC275 vs. MC7205 thx Lovepianos, Tennis is quite right about the stock tubes (horrendous ;--) But they're not so bad you couldn't enjoy the amp's wonderful attributes. If your result is missing both image (higher freq) and bass, I'm inclined to believe there might be ... | |

| The new Mark Levinson ML 53 monoblock amps ? Better grab one now, before the new owners of Harman dump the low profit divisions ;--). | |
| Who is Michael Fremers' Well, Raul Iruegas might lend Mickey a package consisting of an MC2 and a certain as-yet-unreviewed phono/linestage preamp?. | |
| Harmon International sold to investment bankers Yeah Arthur, I noticed right after I hit the "submit" button. OTOH, my post comes with links, Yea!! | |
| Vinyl Outselling CD I think most young people are commited to iPod listening, HOWEVER, I also think they are eclectic when it comes to how they feed their 'Pods. With inexpensive USB turntables now entering the market, there is another format (vinyl) now available fo... | |
| Dealing with HVAC vent air flow noise? The problem is you likely have standard registers (diffusers) on the vents. What you want is something called an Opposed Blade Damper (OBD) type diffuser which has a set of airflow control blades just behind the directional vanes. These (vertical ... | |
| Tube lingo question Herman, I'm with you. Everyone knows ph sounds quite different than f -- you even shape your lips differently ;-)). |
