| Harvey Rosenberg: Did he or didn't he...... The NYAL Moscode 300 was my intro to tube electronics. Yamaha C-2a pre-amp, Dual tt and Vandy 2Ci speakers, ca. mid 80s. I had George Kaye modify it after NYAL went under, Scratched my musical itch for about 10 years or so. | |
| Cartridge output 1.0mv to 65db gain phono, problem? The Artisan that I owned (great phonostage for sure) had an MM and an MC input. Just use the lower gain MM input and you should be fine. | |
| Spectron Musician ii issue Agree w all above. If you are looking for an amp that is reported to play nice w Magnapans, with an impeccable record of after sale service (even to secondary market buyers) consider Atma-sphere. | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Yes it is audio porn. some of it is expensive audio porn, some of it is cheap audio porn. Just like HGTV is house porn. Most of the megabuck systems I've heard at shows put me right to sleep. W some exceptions. Right now what I am listening to... | |
| Does This Machine Exist? Dodgealum- Sorry, dude, what you are talking about IS a computer. Optical drive to read the data, check. Memory to store the data, check. Internet connection to download metadata (unless you want to manually enter the album, artist and track na... | |

| Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers Man does that take me back, rja. Wooden Ships was always one of my favorites. I listened to theLP so many times on my "record player" as a freshman in college, I wore the sucker out! I'll have to dredge up a CD or download it. 'course if I dig... | |
| Bass driven floorstanders? chrisr- You are going to have trouble getting something smaller that Vandys that does not require a sub. Laws of physics are a bitch ;-). At the very least, it is going to require gobs of power. | |
| Setting Gain on Aesthetix IO/Signature Assuming you mean 0.6 mV as per quoted manufacturer's spec, you should be able to go quite a bit lower than 80 dB. Doing so will reduce tube noise. the KAB gain calculator https://www.kabusa.com/pregain.htm gives 55 dB, but ultimately, that depe... | |
| Digital Formats Unless the music you want was recorded and processed as hi-res, then I don't see why there would be much advantage in paying more $$ for upsampled redbook quality files. That's not based on any listening tests, but if the information isn't there i... | |
| Why a headphone amp There are adapters that can be used,but why would you? The cost of a decent HP amp is not much more. | |
| sonorous1 You may be overloading the mc input, try the mm and see if you have enough gain. | |
| Processor Loop If its a loop and not just a processor input then I THINK it will control volume. | |
| Processor Loop yes. In the old days before processors, they called it a tape loop. |
