Nelson Pass did design the original 555.  You may want to read through this thread ... url=http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/5280-adcom-555ii-nelson-pass.html.  With that said, I would be asking the question ... does it make sense to reha...

Hi JPL,The equipment that you have is 25 or so years old.  When I broke up with my wife in 1990, one of the first things that I did after I rented an apartment, was to purchase for myself a nearly identical system ... Adcom GTP 500 II preamp/ tune...

The Project Debut Carbon comes with an Ortofon Red cartridge.  I am not sure which model Project phono box you purchased.  If it is the Phono Box DC, is there any chance that you have the MC/ MM switch set to MC, should be MM?  Rich  
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
I take a much simpler view on this.  Rap occupies the same place with our culture today, that rock did 45 years ago (I am 58 now).  As I think to myself when I see most of what is around today (be it clothes, fashion, music, etc.) ... we had our t... 
Speaker Recommendations for my Vintage Marantz 2270 and Miracord 50H MK II
If memory serves me correctly, the 2270 was bit if an anomaly when it came to 4 ohms vs 8 ohms output.  The Julian Hirsche review measured the 2270's output as 46 wpm into 4 ohms.  Opposite of what you would expectIn any event, I used a Marantz 22... 
Need a shipping box for Technics SL-1200-MKII
The Technics is the same size as the Stanton ST 150. If you have a Guitar Center, Best Buy, or DJ store in town, see if they will give or sell you the box. The Stanton is heavier than the Technics. I purchased my Stanton from Sweetwater, which is ... 
Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200
Great. When I first got back into vinyl, I picked up a Denon 37F DD turntable. I have been hooked on DD turntables ever since. Added the DL 110 and it was the best sounding combination I have ever owned. Hope you are ok with mounting the cartridge... 
Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200
Hi Sam -The Stanton ST 150 is in stock form. The changes I made were to the supplied cartridge, the turntable mat (went with a NOS Technics 1200 rubber mat), and use isolation footers. I have tested a few cartridges and what I like about the turnt... 
Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200
Have you considered changing out the Shure M97 cartridge of the Technics? I have two different turntables in my systems ... one is a Stanton ST150 , which would be similar to your Technics.I tried the Shure M97 cartridge and did not care for it. ...

TT inquiry
Of the 3 TTs that you list, I would opt for the Pioneer or two others that are essentially the same TT ... the Stanton ST 150 or Audio Technica LP 1240. These are all examples of what are referred to as Super OEM TTs, which are TTs based on the Te...

Headphone Amps?
You have some options. If you want the headphone amp/ jack coming from your amplifier, it would be the output of the headphone amp to the input of your headphone amplifier. Similarly you can connect the amplifier directly to the CD player. Check o... 
Should I buy a phono-pre or Creek phono board?
No brainer to me. Plug-in, one less box, fewer cables, most likely optimized for your amp. 30 years ago, you got the phono preamp for free when you purchased your preamp, integrated, or receiver. Like every other outboard (what they were called ba...
