| Tuner tragedy! "Thanks for providing your thoughts on the Rush reissue - I was really hoping that someone had heard it"Greg-I may be wrong, since I HAVE NOT heard this reissue. Just can't imagine it being the exception to my experiences. I'm ashamed to admit be... | |

| Tuner tragedy! Greg-regarding your post of the Rush 2112 reissue.Follow your gut... rock reissues, with the exception of unobtanioum, is to be avoided. Through patience and persistence, bin diving rewarded me with an unmolested period 2112 not long ago. As alwa... | |
| Tuner tragedy! Thanks for the insight. Im guessing the cable is original, do you know what material is used? I will also consider the dental floss-unwaxed, I presume. | |
| Tuner tragedy! "The easiest solution (which might sound crazy) is if you can, simply superglue the ends of the broken string together and then refit it."Greg-that sounds like something out of the the playbook-"what would Mcgyver do?"Im gonna open it and assess d... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Kenny-I believe you just want to fuss with the 2 audio output tubes-6BL8.The others are what was used to ad/align to spec?Once changed, adjustments are off? | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Kennythekey-The MR71 looks great in that maple case. Is that a Mcab.com custom?My later model is looking tired and shedding.I like the look of the base instead of footers also.Your RM modded 71 must sound amazing. My stock box plays great. It has ... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? I agree with akg_ca 's comments regarding the Nordost line.Yes, Odin is ridiculously priced, but it's for those systems we wish we could afford.Conversely, my midfi,Heimdall2/fFreyII plumbed system sounds fantastic. If you're patient and check li... | |
| Classic 3 VPI My 4 year old Classic has squealed since day 1. I dont hear this quirk as a real concern. A few seconds of belt slippage and its fine.If your running your table straight, the platter speed by default, is off. This is only an issue however, for th... | |

| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... wrxified-the best setup may be to just experiment with your options and go with what sound best to your ears.The ART 9 should sound great with the Prime. I hear excellent results with my Classic through a tube phono Loading doesn't seem to be an ... | |
| Crosley Record Cleaning System I've used a Spin Clean nearly 10 years, as part of my re-entry into record playing after a 30 year break.For the money and convienience, it's tough to beat.That being said, it ain't cleaning a record like a VPI or the Audiodesk, which I've tried b... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Just thought I'd stop in and shovel some coal in the boiler of the ART9 train.Good to see there's plenty of steam still movin this thread.Closing in on 2 years use here. STILL rockin without any desire to upgrade(unless 50k falls in my lap to comp... | |
| turntable/cartridge for old 50's 60's rock records. Based on just reviews, the PrimE. w/ a good LOMC delivers the goods. Naturally, you're gonna plug that into a competent phono stage which is equally important? | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Based on my visits at UA, Kevin and his staff are good people.Does sound odd that the condition of the speaker wouldn’t be fully disclosed as such?I wouldn’t be emailing. No luck calling him? Now that he opened his superstore(more like an audio p... |
