Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider?
Might look at a Lyra Dorian I think those are around 700.00I have a Troika on mine and it works well. There is a synergy with Linn. I saw a re-tipped Troika list here the other day. But I have heard the Lyra Skala and Helikon on LP12s and they wor... 
Denon 5910ci VS McIntosh MVP871
Thanks for the input. I already have the 5910ci but have a dealer willing to make me a very good deal on a trade for an 871. I had kind of shelved the idea as I would really only use it for 5.1 Sacd/dvd-A and occasional std DVD movies. You have my... 
Help Me Choose Better 5-Channel Amp
In retrospect of what dg1968 said I would say that is a very good point on the matching across the 5 channels. But also as he mentioned the room correction plays a positive part. I had a MX135 prior to the D2v and it never sounded as good as it do... 
Help Me Choose Better 5-Channel Amp
Keep your Anthem amp us it for center and rears then buy a better 2 channel amp. That is how I use my system I have a McIntosh MC205 and a MC402 and use an anthem D2v along with a Audio Research LS26 for 2 channel. As a side bonus you have back up... 
Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker?
I would echo Jaybo and advise you to make a day trip to the city and hear a few before you buy. If you really don't want to do that then try to work out a deal with a dealer that will let you try some in your home for 30 days.And if you can't find... 
Comments on Dire Straits Re-mastered LPs?
I bought the first album since I didn't have a audiophile pressing of this title. I loved it so much I just received Commuique' (their best release in my opinion) and haven't played it yet but I will be getting Love Over Gold as well.Haven't decid... 
Best way to wire Speakers from mc501 amps
I would find out what the OHM rating is for the Linn and connect it to the 2,4,or 8 ohm connection which ever is closest. As far as the Bi wire I would either use jumpers , shot gun them from the same connection on the C501 or call your Linn deale... 
set speakers large or small?
I have mine set to large, but best advice is try both and see what works for your system and room. That is how I set mine and determined the result. 
Mcintosh MX 150 any one heard it yet?
I recently traded my MX135 in on a D2v and am quite pleased. Once I got the room correction done the surround sounds great. I don't use it for 2 channel I have it set up with an Audio Research LS-26 2 channel tube pre amp. I use the 2 front channe... 
Paint crack Wilson Sophia 2
I would contact Wilson as they would want to know and may offer to repair it. Unless the speakers have been knocked over to cause this separation, it is obviously a mfgs. defect.
