| 2 Classe ca 100's vs 1 Classe ca 200 ? Drubin,I am wondering the same thing myself. I am considering the purchase of a pair of CAM 200 monos to power my Magnepan MGIIIA's. The price seems attractive enough. I will be setting up an audition of them within the next few days. | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? You can put a nice suit on a sack of crap - but it's still gonna be a sack of crap. The Stone's recordings have never been well engineered or well pressed (save for Satanic Majesty's Request). I don't know if the format can make them listenable. E... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Marco-My sympathies to you and your family. Our 6 year old Shetland Sheepdog Charli died on 6/5, so my family and I know how you feel. | |
| Which artists do you just not get? "Big Hat" country Ethnically confused clowns like EminemArtificial boy and girl bands ('Nstink and Density's Child - spelling errors intentional)Single name chick singersNirvana. Kurt Cobain especially. I don't get the mythic, cultish following he... | |
| Anyone bought BrokenLamp Co amp? As a follow-up to my previous post, I knew Steve when I was living in Western New York. He used to voice his work on Magnepan speakers (MGIII and MGI if I'm not mistaken). I don't know if he still is doing that or not. | |
| Anyone bought BrokenLamp Co amp? haven't heard one yet but it is designed by the original designer of the B&K ST140, Steve Kreiser, the K in B&K | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions There should also be a small set screw that needs to be lossened. The whole assembly can be adjusted up or down, depending on the knob's position. Loosen the knob, pull the assembly up, retighten the knob. do this in small increments. | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Jmcgrogan2,There is no oil damping on the JMW9 arm. Are you referring to the main platter bearing? Scouts I've seen (including my own)have come from the factory not requiring any user applied bearing oil. | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Yes, it is supposed to "float and wobble". It is designed to be in perfect balance when properly seated. If this is your first unipivot (as it was for me), this can be rather disconcerting when you first set it up. But as soon as the glorious soun... | |
| best budget pre used I use a Counterpoint 7.1 tube pre with an ST 140 and have always found a nice synergy between the two. Have driven both MMG's and Sound Dynamics RTS 3's with the setup. The Counterpoint has a very nice phono section as well. I have seen them poste... | |
| Best Maggie Tweaks/upgrades I mounted cone feet on the bottoms of my MGIIIA's and then coupled that to 1 1/2 inch thick granite slabs which sit on the floor. | |
| Any fellow 'Heads out there? Cpdunn99,I dunno, it MIGHT have been me. You know what they say: "if you can remember it, you weren't there". | |
| Any fellow 'Heads out there? For me, Watkins Glen July 27, 1973 (the day before, Soundcheck show). Been hooked ever since. I have about 100 shows under my belt, did the whole taper bit, right up till '95. Collected a boatload of memorabilia, shirts, posters, vinyl, all the "D... | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't To follow up Lugnut's response:Ask her to get rid of that pesky non period gas or electric range, swap out the 'fridge for an icebox or rootcellar, and by all means, the microwave has got to go... | |
| Who makes a pre/pro with SACD Input? SACD puts out an analog only signal. The Sony units (I have a modified NS500V), have output jacks (6) to send the signal to your processor/preamp. SACD does not operate in the digital domain per se. There are some processors that offer a 6 channel... |
