| Legacy audio Focus se and tubes I am running a 300wpc Mac MC302 amp into a pair of 93.5db efficient speakers with powered woofers (1800 watt amps built in) and the sound is full and big. When I had Mac MC152 150 wpc amp the sound was good but not as full. I would keep your amp... | |
| Vandersteen Model 1 or Focal 726 +1 for Audiotroy. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES do i need anything else ? I own two of them, one for each system so I am biased. Once you set it up, it’s a joy to use and the built in dac sounds excellent. I don’t do Tidal or any of the other online music hosts so I am perfectly happy. I had an Aurender before the So... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. My wife and I drove through Mississippi on our way to New Orleans on Sunday. Today we drove from New Orleans to Memphis. Unfortunately the weather isn’t good tonight. Tomorrow night we will hang out on Beale St and will hear some great Blues. Will... | |
| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? I use a ZU Dl103 Cartridge which was on my previous TT on my SL1200G. Best sound I have ever had from vinyl. | |
| Stein accessories/"quantum organization" My very wise father who is now deceased told me that “there is an ass for every seat”. This has carried me through life. | |
| Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps? The new Technics SL1200G is excellent for footfalls. I can jump directly in front of the TT and no skipping. I am not a liteweight at 250 pounds. My turntable is in my100 year old house with wood floors. | |
| PayPal Frustration/Issue Heads-Up Purchasing is different from selling as they don’t front the money to the purchaser, just the seller. . Glad it worked out for you. | |
| amp clipping earlier than usual? Have the amp checked out before blowing money on caps and such. It could be as simple as the bias in the amp being off (too high or low). | |
| PayPal Frustration/Issue Heads-Up Anyone who buys and sells here with a Paypal account shoul make sure their account is verified. I did it when I opened my account 12 years ago. It is not a fault of PayPal as it is there for fraud purposes, it is your fault for not verifying the... | |
| Vandersteen Model 1 or Focal 726 You can get a pair of used Vandersteen 2CE sigs for under 2K. If you like the Vandersteen sound, that is what I would do. | |
| Graduating to separates need help I am sure you can find a used Parasound A23 amp and a Parasound preamp for 2K. | |
| I need bass If yogi you decide to change speakers, the GE Triton 3+ would be your best bet. You can dial in the amount of bass you like. | |
| Cartridge Impedance Changing the impedance from 100 to 200 ohms with my Denon moving coil increased the clarity and focus and the highs sound better. | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll Rock is very much alive at my house, Jazz a lot less and Classical only if I can’t fall asleep. Put on Classical and I’ll be out like a light within minutes. |
