| Wrapping my head around MC carts. HELP!!! You're welcome. Glad the above was helpful. | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Its a shame that it ever came to this. And I understand the OP’s situation is not just being discussed on this forum either.Without taking sides, Mr. Deal should have just offered the OP a full refund as he obviously had an unhappy customer. Then ... | |
| Wrapping my head around MC carts. HELP!!! I’ll try to remove some of the mystery.There are two types of MC cartridges - high output that are designed to work with MM phono stages and low output MC’s. HOMC’s require the same loading as MM’s, 47K ohms, and since they average around 2.5mV, t... | |
| PrimaLuna Premium Dialogue integrated amp with B&W CM9 speakers My other objective is to make the B&W speakers sound a little less bright and more musical.What your trying to tame is inherent in the speakers. Switching amps may help just a little but switching speakers will help a lot!The CM9's simply ma... | |
| Turntable? Of course Wolf is right. $500 buys a lot of TT, even a Linn Basik, if the OP wants to consider used. But a new entry level Linn costs way above the models I recommended at around $1500.So its probably a good idea for the OP to advise if he is wi... | |
| Turntable? Hi finally getting a turn table! I have a NAD 356 amp with totem Sttaf speakers. What do you recommend to go with this setup and similar price point?Your budget is a similar price point to what? The amp or the speakers?Its just not the TT you hav... | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade Yawn!Still struggling with the quote feature, huh? | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade In case you’re keeping track, I recommended another pair of Vandersteen 1’s in a thread this morning. No doubt I’ll recommend at least another pair before the days over.Keeping track? I wouldn’t have to even if I was so inclined. But I am not surp... | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade Thanks again for all of your replies and advice. I am definitely looking for bookshelf monitor speakers to be stand mounted. I have a toddler that moseys around and the more I can keep off the floor the better.If your thinking of bookshelf speaker... | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade I’m thinking you should buy a pair for yourself, as well. Get your system sounding right and you won’t be so miserable. I’m very happy with my Dynaudios, thank you. And unlike some posters, I am not so presumptuous as to recommend them to the OP ... | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade OK sfall, whatever man. I know what I read in your post - you emphatically recommend only one speaker, a Vandersteen Model 1. Similar to auxinput's excellent advice above, I said he should understand a speakers needs (impedance & sensitivity)... | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade To not recommend a speaker upgrade, in this instance, would be irresponsibleI agree sfall, but why does it have to be your Vandersteen Model 1's?Also, the OP said he is thinking about putting off the amp purchase and may concentrate on new speaker... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! +2 But this is what happens when someone insists on asking for suggestions on the internet, especially speakers. Instead of making up a short list and going out and audition. You end up buying what the popular flavor of the year is from a consen... | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade You're welcome Matthew.And when your upgrading speakers, be sure to understand their needs (impedance & sensitivity) and how this relates to your current amp and future amps output capabilities. And above all, go out and audition them. This ... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! OK... I think I have narrowed down my choices to the ELAC Debut B6 and Wharfedale Diamond 10.1. Both are roughly $259 shipped and can be returned easily. Sensitivity is 86/87db for both. Any input on which way I should go?Buy them both, auditio... |
