| Preamp w/ Phono and Headphone Most preamps with headphone outs, use cheap op amps, Because you have the excellent 650's I highly recommend you get a headphone specific amp. Look at Headphone.com. | |
| HELP: Noise from new Pro-Ject Debut III Could it indeed be a radio station? Are you using shielded interconnects out of the Project? | |
| Original Plinius Sa-100 series amps for Shahinians I had a friend in New Jersey who bought a Plinius and hooked it to the big Ariel speakers. The hum was so bad it was unlistenable for any length of time. I understand that the hum depended on how the house was wired, and I don't remember if it was... | |
| Help with Cartridge selection I have a Dyna XVS, a Benz Ebony LP, and a Benz Ebony H. I listen to all kinds of music and for me, the Benz sound has a bit more more of reality of what I think is live music, than the Dyna. I must add that the H is in some ways even better than t... | |
| Electrostat - M-L; Quad or Soundlab - reliable I'm not so enamored of the Acoustats. Mine caught fire and almost took the house down. There was a short in the transformer in the left one which was repaired, and the right one shorted out about 7 months later. I sold them at that point. | |

| Rega P25 with no border I found that there is a great improvement if I suspend the table by putting 3 Cardas blocks under the surround...1 in front and 2 in back or v/v. | |
| Opinions on Benz Gullwing SLR You probably didn't audition the Benz LP. It has everything that the Dyna XVs has, plus an even better, more musical midrange. I can understand you preferring a Dyna over the Benz, but I advise all to audition both before choosing. | |
| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C My advice is not to limit yourself to Cardas. Be sure to experience the cable you might be interested in, in YOUR system. Every cable sounds a bit different in different systems. | |
| Tally up best preamplifier ever I find it amazing that no one mentioned Ayre's M series, or even the K series | |
| Is loud needle talk good or bad? neither....why do you listen so close to your turntable? | |
| Best way to get accurate rake angle on speakers I am using Vandersteen 5A's. In experimenting, after raising the rear of the speakers - maybe 1/8 of an inch or less, the sound went from excellent to jaw dropping unbelievable. |
