| hook-up configuration for AR -2ax That is correct, I use to have these when they were new also. | |
| Anyone heard the new Radikal for the Linn LP 12? Check out the thread on the HIFICRITIC site, Radikal VS Armageddon. Their other threads have a lot on Linn also. There are several subchassis available, some by 3rd parties. They are going to test the Keel [sp?] in the next issue. | |
| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm It is also not particularly rigid if I remember, I would stay with MM. MCs generate considerably more energy in tracking so they are best used with either a high mass or rigid lower mass arm. The Grace 707 worked well with some MCs despite having ... | |
| Bi-amp befuddlement I had not been biamping for some time , first because I was using my M3 and didn't have a good match for it and then because I was comparing my Spendor SP1/2s to the Mini Utopias which have only one terminal. A couple of days ago I decided to biam... | |
| Filling hollow tubes of my component racks YES. Well , maybe. I am a dealer for Star Sound's Micro Bearings and this is a danger with them, they are exceedingly dense, much more than Atabits which I also handle. After I think about it you will probably not be able to get enough in to over ... | |
| Mcintosh C28 VS C712 Modern Vs Classic Mac was never one for a short signal path. The only thing of theirs I ever owned was a C8 preamp which had the capability of running the power output to the speakers THROUGH IT. Muddy was not the word for the sound. Mac has always walked their own... | |
| Need advice on a good Phono preamp I am having very good results with a Bob's Devices step up transformer. Runs $395 and has improved even phono stages that do not supposedly need it. There is a good review on 10 Audio site. I liked the Dynavector 75 and Blue Circle ones so well I ... | |
| turntable question? I would buy the used if it is in good shape, turntables have a long life and better quality will make a difference. | |
| Van den Hul MC-One Special MC cartridge I agree, some of the newer ones appear to be variable in quality. | |
| Searching for passive subwoofer... I have 3 pairs but none are being made currently. The best is Nelson Reed 1204s. Uses 4 12" Volt drivers a side , 2 in front 2 in back of a 4 or 5 CF cabinet. Will do 120 db down to 20 Hz supposedly, I haven't ever driven it that hard but on the 1... | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean? This is one of those threads that can go on forever as there is no real answer. As has been pointed out it is system dependent. There is little or no agreement among the most experienced designers and reviewers. Martin Colloms, who has tested abou... | |
| Cart option for VPI turntables I use Denon, 304,103 and 110. Have the 12.7 and 9 arms. They also work well with the Dynavector P-75 11. I am a dealer for it as well as VPI but not Denon. | |
| Turntable recommendations under $1500 Used VPI Scout. | |
| Can upgraded jumpers improve sound? Yes. You can use jumpers or standard cable, I use a standard length cable on my wife's NAD 3240. After all you are connecting an amp and preamp. Shorter is better but if you find a standard cable you like you can use that. You will hear a signific... | |
