| Right match Unless there is something not working properly in the preamp or amp, you'd have to assume that two Musical Fidelity products of the same product line should work fine together. You might want to try the MM/MC switch to see if it makes an improvem... | |
| Right match The M8 has a phono stage, according to the website, claiming for both MM and MC. So along mesch's lines, (1) did you plug the TT into the phono input and (2) if so, did you plug it into the MM or MC input? From your description it sounds like yo... | |
| Wilson tiny tots Just so I understand, you did say "tiny" tots, right, not "tune" tots? Tune Tots are a current speaker; Tiny Tots (WATTs) date back to the 1980s. | |
| Wilson tiny tots My recollection of the Tiny Tots was that they were a location monitor made by Dave Wilson to monitor his recordings. They were described as (1) ruthlessly revealing with a somewhat rising treble, (2) difficult to drive (they went below 1 ohm at ... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp I'm not familiar with your preamp, so it is tough to make suggetions, as many tubes sound different in different circuits. I will say the best 12AU7 variant I have used in any of my equipment has been the Telefunken ECC802, but I think what you m... | |
| Thiel owners Doubtful, but I suggest asking this on the Thiel Owners thread, you'll probably get the answer there. | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Linda Ronstadt did a lot of nice covers. I especially like her cover of the Eagles' Desperado. | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? New/unused records can also be gotten online from Elusive Disk and Music Direct. Versions and pressings don't matter much with new stuff, IMHO. If you want used, if you're in NJ. I'd suggest going to Princeton and the Princeton Record Exchange, ... | |
| Replacement power. Ps I actually know what you mean about the trips to Brooklyn, one of my ML 1.1s kept switching into standby during play, turned out to be a defective relay but took a few trips as it was hard to find because it was temperature-related. As for a repl... | |
| Replacement power. Ps M 1.1s or ML 1.1s? In either case, I would be hard-pressed to come up with something better. What aspects of your current setup are you looking to improve? | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Duntech Princesses--6 feet tall, about 180 pounds each. | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp I can tell you that Lloyd Walker suggested that I try the fuse both ways in my Walker Motor Drive to see which direction I preferred. He could hear a difference, but I could not. I'd suggest that you follow Lloyd's advice and see if you have a p... | |
| Thiel 2.3 2.4 coaxial drivers filled with ferrofluid or not ? You should ask this question on the Thiel Owners thread, someone there should know. | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? They don't NEED to be used together, although they do have an undeniable house sound. I found my JP200 to work extremely well for years with my Lamm ML 1.1s, and I'm sure they would also mate well with my VAC amplifier (my JA80s sounded really go... | |
| Snell Type A III vs. Klipsch Cornwall IV If you do decide to sell the Snells I think you'll have no shortage of buyers, they are classics. One thing I don't know about is where you have to place the Cornwalls for best sound. The Snells were designed to be up against or near a rear wall... |
