| Speaker Recommendations for my Vintage Marantz 2270 and Miracord 50H MK II Paraneer,Doesn't have to be a vintage speaker. I agree with your assessment in looking at 8ohm with high sensitivity. Ran my old 103's with a Pioneer SX-838 50wpc and while they could crank never blew a fuse. Also, the room this system will be ... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for my Vintage Marantz 2270 and Miracord 50H MK II The 2270 was refurbished with all new caps etc. just recently. I contacted the shop who did the work and am going to have them change out the speaker posts to spades. $100. At the price point I paid for this I would have had to pay 3-5 times it c... | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? Yes that is what I have for equipment. But before I upgrade to MC cartridge I need phono stage. Since the MAC has a low input impedance on line stages of 20k I need to make sure it is compatible. Right now I'm leaning towards the Herron VTPH-2 but... | |

| Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp Which model is it? Is it a good match for my Mac ma6600? | |
| Phono Preamp recommendation for VPI Prime Thanks for everyone's input. Being new to a lot of this it gives me a lot to think about. The biggest issue is not always having the ability to try a phono stage first. Al I was considering the Rhea but was unaware of the technical issues. My max ... | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection Dougdeacon,Thanks for you insight. Having just ordered a new table in the VPI prime and also have a good MM cartridge I agree the next step is a good phono stage. And your recommendation would be? | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection Sorry. I meant the Quintet Black. | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection I just recently purchased a Ortofon 2m black which is currently in my Miracord 50h Mk II. I plan on putting this in my new VPI. They also recommended the Ortofon Cadenza Black. Retails about $250 more than the 2M Black. I agree phono stage is will... |
