| Equipment sight but not sound. @tattooedtrackman, I hope you didn’t purchase your speakers based on Louis Lipnick’s Stereophile review. He claimed the speakers had no flaws and was pretty much laughed out of the industry. I heard them once and they were pretty impressive. I am... | |
| Review : Emerson ER-7001 Am/Fm radio. Return of the radio king! Nice review. I thought Emerson bit the dust years ago like so many of the other American electronic company’s. I am curious how this relates to high end audio? | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures Why not call Music Direct and ask them? They ship records all over the world to many different climates. They would know best. Most people here will have their own opinion that may or may not be true. | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges For everyone who is still following this post, I purchased an AT VM540 moving magnet cartridge pre mounted on a headshell. This way I can still use the ZU cartridge as well. I received it on Saturday and have been thoroughly enjoying my Rock recor... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K Take this from someone who plays 90% Rock, every day. I use Golden Ear Triton Reference speaker system. Powered woofers and smooth highs. They are on sale for $9K a pair, regularly $12.5K a pair. They play Classical and Jazz superbly as well. ... | |
| A $250 Power Conditioner? I used the Shunyata Venom plug in conditioner and it worked well, cleaned the noise from the outlet When I bought mine, I don’t think it cost more than $200 but now the price is up to $300. If the price is right, it’s worth a try. If you buy f... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers The heavier HRS weight is around the same weight as the Project record puck which I did not like. I bought the HRS weight used so I never heard the heavier weight. | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers I tried the VPI weight, the Project Record Puck (very heavy) and settled on the HRS record weight. They make 2 of which I bought the lighter one (500-600 grams) and I am ver happy. With the heavy record puck, the table which is a SL1200G lost so... | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats Michael Fremer tried a few weights and mats when he reviewed the SL1200G and concluded that the weight added a bit more focus to the sound or something like that. Of course he recommended some $600.00 record mat. Way too rich for my blood. I boug... | |
| McIntosh is now inside a Jeep luxury car. According to one of the major auto rags, the Jeep brand is the fifth worse brand for reliability problems. I believe they are in the 30% range. If I can find the Yahoo article, I will link it. With that being said and because I hate Chrysler Co... | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats @danmar123, I am leaning towards the Hana ML for my 1200G. How do you like yours, pro's and con's? | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats I am using a hard mat made by either Oracle or Origin but not sure which. I use a Harmonic Research weight. They make 2, mine is the lighter one. This is all used on a Technics SL1200G. I tried many different weights and the HRS is the best of... | |
| Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises If you want to try a rumble filter, I can send you one to try out. I believe it is an RF-5 I purchased from KAB. I used it for years until I bought a Technics SL 1200G. My previous VPI Prime and Scout needed the filter. I can send it to you... | |
| Best subwoofer under 2K? I have an SVS PB2000 Pro that cost less than 1K and use with my JBL L100 Classic speakers. I am quite fussy but love the sub. It is perfect for my needs. Don’t make the mistake I did and get the sealed box, not ported like did. I had to use th... | |
| standby mode Does the amp have a setting that puts it into standby if there is a lull in the Music? I had that problem once with an amp and it turned out there was a switch on the back panel to defeat it. |
