| Weird system issue Sounds like it the tape loop. Did you try switching the source to Phono on the record side of the loop? I am not familiar with your pre amp but that is what I think of first when reading your chain of events | |
| Turntable setup Take a look at Fremers DVD available from most internet audiophile music dealers. | |
| PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference? I would normally say go with the Cardas GR as I have my system wired with them. But one set really won't give you the noticeable improvemant that a cleaner power will. I would start with the power and then add the Cardas GRs as budget permits. One... | |
| Anyone muffel a VPI 16.5 I guess that I should just keep using ear muffs. I was hopeing someone had a muffler like you can buy for a shop vac. Bummer | |
| McIntosh MX134 The MX134 is a very good pre-pro. I had one and traded it in for the MX135. The 135 offers a better processer chip but the 134 offers much the same performance that I beleive will exceed many of todays pre-pros in the priice range it is sold as us... | |
| What McIntosh disc player sounds better? I haven't heard the 871 but heard the 861 and I thought is very similar in sound on SACD, but I vote for the 301 on Redbook. I guess it would come down to, do you need the DVD-DVD/A or you after the Sacd/Redbook for playback. Either piece will jus... | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" Great album although Pinder did contribute to Octave but didn't tour and left the band at that time. patrick Moraz added another dimension to the bands sound with Long Distance Voyager. After that album they just could find their creative juices a... | |

| whats a good older hdcd cd player? The Linn Ikemi is a great sounding redbook and HDCD player and I see them fairly frequently here on AG | |
| Rega P25-best upgrade Amondrool is right with the technoweight. I owned a P25 for a few years and added just about every tweek that I could get for the table. Some helped and some went the other direction. But the one investment that I can say stood out as most obvious... | |
| Buying used vs. New I guess it all comes down to personnal economics. We take chances on buying here on AudioGon but I have so far(knocking on wood)been lucky. I would love to buy new all the time but then I would be increasing the time line of getting what I want. I... | |

| Difference w/ Ayre Amps The other difference is twice the output devices 32 vs 16. | |
| Top two channel pre w/HT passthrough XLR best I am in the very same process and have condidered the Mcintosh C2300 and if $$ permitted the C500 and also the Audio Research LS26 and if money is there the Ref 3. I have a McIntosh Pre/Pro and Amps now but have all but decided on the LS26 as soon... | |
