| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear @jasonbourne71, wow! I had the original 3 highboys I believe they were called and traded them for the 3A, then bought the 7 which was a more modern 3A. I worked in an audio store, and got 50% off retail. I think the 7 went for $800 retail price. I... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear The only vintage I would think about purchasing today would be a pair of Rectilinear 3A or Rectilinear 7 speakers. I owned both in the early through late 70’s but stupidly sold them for something I thought would be better, it was not. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Are there any preamps made today that offer a loudness function? That would be your best bet. | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers The McIntosh MA 7200 is 200wpc into 4 or 8 ohm loads. | |
| McIntosh MC312 vs. ARC Reference 150 @ghdprentice The McIntosh is NOT bass heavy and very midrange. Why do you sprout lies about McIntosh? | |
| Phono cable for SL-1200G I use a VPI phono cable for my SL1200G. It was left over from my previously owned Prime. I spoke with Chris Van Haus at VH Audio about getting a new cable for the Technics and he told me the cable I am using is excellent. So, I’m still using i... | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade There is a pair of Triton Reference speakers for less than $4800 for sale here, was listed today. I own a pair and all I play is Rock. They are full sounding and amazing sounding. I have had my pair for over 7 years and they are my endgame spea... | |

| IsoAcoustics GAIA @bigwave1 My post further up the page states I use the carpet spikes. Sound better with them on my thick living room carpet. | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? Jane says................. punch the guitarist. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I use the GAIA 2 with my GE Triton Reference speakers, definitely brought the sound up a notch or two. Love them. I also use their carpet spikes under the GAIA. | |
| mcintosh mcd-12000 Never heard it, don’t know. For that kind of money, I would look at the Esoteric brand of players. I use one in my McIntosh based system and it sounds phenomenal. | |
| Any Rhode Island audiophiles out there? Send me a pm if you do get a club up and running, i would be very interested. | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Driver Issue Why not try uninstalling the drivers, rebooting and then reinstalling the drivers? One of the files could be corrupted. | |
| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G I see it does not have the magnesium arm of the 1200G and the weight of the turntable is only 28 pounds, far less than the 1200G. I will stick with my 1200G as i love it. |
