| Help with an open circuit Quintet Black Needle Clinic in Bellvue, Washington. I week turn around time and very reasonable prices. Andy is one of audios good guys. | |
| Hum!! @noromance I think you mean cold solder joint. | |
| Needle Clinic I went with the standard cantilever and stylus (aluminum and conical). I did that because the cartridge worked so well with my Rock collection that I didn't want to change the tonal character. | |
| What's on your audio wish list for 2018? a new (or new to me) McIntosh solid state amp around 200-250wpc to match my McIntosh MC2500 preamp. | |
| Speaker distance geoffkait.....................................Sandy Gross from Golden Ear says the further apart the Triton series of speakers, the better. He recommended 11 feet apart to me. As it isn't practical in my room, 8 feet apart was the best I could a... | |
| Amp recommendation I would go with the highest power integrated you can find for 1500. I see a few used Hegels here which may be just the ticket. | |
| Musician vs. audiophile I wouldn't blow money on cables right now, they will make subtle differences but nothing life changing. | |
| Rega RP1 Turntable plays BACKWARDS...what to do ? if you bought it from a brick and morter store, bring it back. If you bought it from here, then I have no answer. | |
| Equalization I bought a used McIntosh Integrated amp that has bass and treble controls and I use them as needed. I feel no shame in saying this. | |
| Speaker distance Golden Ear Triton Reference. 8 feet apart, center to center. | |
| What are your favorite upright 4-5 shelve audio rack recommendations? I bought a Solid Steel 5 shelf audio rack for less than 500.00 | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Pat Travers Greatest Hits at this present time. Previously listened to Bob James "obsession" | |
| Wrong way to clean a stylus! You now have the perfect excuse to upgrade! I once bent the cantilever on a brand new moving coil cartridge when I was mounting it. | |
| What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year? My wife gave me a Pink Floyd book "Their Mortal Remains", a Pink Floyd Coffee mug and a Pink Floyd T shirt. I also got a Nikon charger and a 128GB memory card for a camera I bought a few months ago. I am very happy. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT Guys, I'm in on this. Let me know day and time and I'll be there (weather permitting). |
