| More power or better quality power? Speaker placement can also have a huge impact. Quality is always better than quantity. That said; many higher power amps are also better quality. | |
| Old Classical Recordings Hummmmm.....could be many things. Probably how the cartridge and stylus are tracking on the record.Is it a mono recording? A stereo stylus and cartridge will not get the best results... | |
| Can the sound of SS amp deteriorate over time?? The sound of all gear will deteriorate over enough time... | |
| Any difference using RCA for Coaxial Connection? You will have to try it and see (hear). The cable may sound good or it may not. It will carry a digital signal no problem at all. How well is unknown until you try it. If they just happen to be 75 ohm cables, then you might be in luck... | |
| AC captive cords??? I find a better cord results in tighter bass on a lot of subwoofers, even REL.The captive cord is not because the manufacturer thought it was better. It was just cheaper for them to make. | |
| Taking audio too seriously? I am actually a music lover first. But that does not mean I have thousands of records and my money is spent there.For classical music, given the choice between a fair sounding great performance and a great sounding fair performance; I always go wi... | |
| Japanese Music There are recordings of traditional Japanese melodies by various flutists like Jean-Pierre Rampal and James Galway which are very pleasant to listen to. Some recordings are with other instruments including Japanese instruments. Even a western flut... | |

| Where to buy Pioneer stable platter mechanism Yeah, I was thinking about eBay also as a source. Just buy a used one. If you look for one missing the remote with dents and scratches, you can probably get it really cheap. | |

| Conrad-Johnson Sonographe S250 vs. MF2250A I previously owned a Sonograph SA250 and the MF2100 which was the earlier model replaced by the MF2250. I preferred the MF2100. I thought it was worth it for the MF.From there I went to a Blue Circle BC22 which I prefer to either CJ amp. Between t... | |
| Transformer noise including Powervar Yeah, it is usually DC Offset that makes them hum. Blame your power company. They won't fix it, so you have to. | |
| Difficult Sopranos It could be partially the CD itself. The system is accurately playing harshly recorded female vocals. That is why you cannot find the right system. Your source material sounds that way. | |
