| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range @pkvintage : I agree! A Bryston 3B (100wpc) is hard to beat! I bought mine for $500 and a .5 preamp for another $350. Late 80's production, but sure sounds good! A great company! | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter The same thing has happened to me! Clumsy fingers! If you see no damage to the cantilever you should be good to go! | |
| Phonostage preamp HELP Buy the Bellari MT502 stepup transformer ($499). Made here in the USA. This will boost your MC's output to 4 mv - a more practical level for use with the MM phono stage! I own one and can recommend it! | |
| Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics) ACDC's Stiff Upper Lip CD sounded great on my OHM Sound Cylinders! A good recommendation for an affordable pair of speakers that can "rock out"! | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? On the two Fidelity Research tonearms I own (FR29 and FR54) neither has any provision for antiskate. So Ikeda-san didn't consider it important for these two models! They are both heavy arms well-suited for low-compliance MC's. | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? I've never cared for the thread-and-weight. On tonearms with magnetic antiskate (like my Denon 307) I will set it by dial to correspond with the VTF. Though I doubt I can hear a difference with it on or off! | |
| Marantz 1060 There are ten 1060's available now on EBay. Priced from $250 to $1K (restored). Only 30wpc. Separate pre/power jacks. First production 1971. | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? 90℅ CR*P! | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers GOD said "Let there be Sound" - and created the QUAD 57's! Still the benchmark for natural sound! | |
| DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth I agree with Elizabeth! Sony missed a good opportunity to market dual discs together with players by being greedy with overpricing! For most people CD was "good enough" - and they sure weren't going to pay double! | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Some smokeable herbal substance never fails to enrich the listening experience! | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? A vote here for "Get Your Ya Ya's Out"! The Stones live in MSG in '69! Original pressing LP. Midnight Rambler ... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) Your room is too small. Get a larger room! | |
| Do I still need something for my system There is NOTHING wrong with the AC from your wall outlets! Honestly! Power conditioners are a clever marketing ploy to get the gullible to spend more money! Ditto to power cords and magic fuses! | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! People today are so conditioned to sit in front of TV/phone screens that listening to music without accompanying images is uncomfortable - so they must start talking! |
