| INTERNAL CABLING- Heres some choices, give me your two cents on these cables..... Please _ You're not supposed to use regular speaker cables like the AQ you list. You need what's called internal hook up wire. Here's a link to show you what I'm talking about. It's a list of bulk cables, so make sure it says hook up in the description. I'... | |
| Distortion mystery -- MC cart mistracking? / transformer / head amp input saturation?? " @sfall I totally get it that carts change a lot with break in... but this distortion sounds like mistracking or some kind of input overload.... not sure a less-than-broken-in cart would sound this way.... or am I wrong about that? "It depen... | |

| A rookie question re two amps, one pair of speakers Assuming you're able to switch back and forth properly, its completely OK to use your 2 channel amp with your HT setup. Just go through the speaker calibration setup on your receiver. It will match the gain to the rest of your speakers. A lot of p... | |
| Distortion mystery -- MC cart mistracking? / transformer / head amp input saturation?? It's possible that your new cart is not fully broken in. Phono carts change a lot with break in. More than any other component. Otherwise, it sounds like you have a bit too much gain. MM is the lowest amount of gain, so you can't do much about it ... | |
| Counterpoint SA 4s I used to be a dealer.The SA4 is an OTL design, so it weighs a lot less than a regular tube amp. Its a good sounding amp, but OTL's tend to give more problems so that's why you see so few of them. If you're really happy with the way they sound, ke... | |
| Integrateds, which one?????????????? Get the Rotel. You never know when Anthem is going to go out of business again. Rotel just makes nicer gear. | |
| Classic 3 VPI " on the vpi classic 3 the pulleys have grooves for 3 belts " Look closely and you'll see the grooves are slightly different in size. The grooves are used to fine tune speed and not for extra belts. | |
| Can anyone identify these speakers? One of the reason's I think the speakers are home made, is when you look at the pic's with the grills off, the sides of the cabnets extend well beyond the FR drivers. That's almost never done. That's why I said in my first post someone was trying ... | |
| Can anyone identify these speakers? I still think they look homemade.Can't you find out from the seller? | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? At CES you listened to complete systems, not just speakers. Its just something to keep in mind. Your current speakers are still very good. The one recommendation I would make is once you get used to time and phase correct speakers, its difficult t... | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? " .But now with Theta being mostly Class D amps "Not the Theta Dreadnaugt Mark 1 or 2. Traditional design and you can save a lot of money if you find a good used one. It's a multichannel amp so you would use 4 channels in a vertical biamp. Also, ... | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? " If I can get some of my really good older records to sound that good, then I will invest in a better turntable and cartridge. "You can have the same problem with other components, regardless of cost. Its not a quality issue. | |
| Integrateds, which one?????????????? For your speakers,the Rotel would be my first choice from the amps you list. NAD is another good pick.If you're open to consider other ways, have a look at Audio Advisor web site. They have a $1300 Nuforce power amp on sale for $500. If you buy th... | |
| McIntosh MC 2150 Fried Check the fuses. Start by looking at the back panel. Then remove the top cover and follow the wires that go to the power cord and see if that leads you more fuses. You need to check inside and out because there can be more than 1 fuse.If you don't... |
