| The color of audio and ambassadorship I let friends hear stuff on a really god sounding vintage system that they could approximate for a few hundred bucks if they look around a little. They can go further or spend more once their feet are in the door. I also get the added benefit of h... | |
| Thorens strobe A little research has led me to believe that a platter with the strobe pattern for the 124 was made available later. There used to be cardboard discs with the strobe pattern printed on them for checking the speed. There may be a place on the web t... | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II The DMT215 specs out at 101db @ 1w 1meter. That's pretty efficient so I'd say it depends how loud you like to listen and in what size room. If you like to listen at high volume in a large room I'd advise against it- the temptation to turn it up lo... | |
| Help with JBL c60 Soveregin s8r speakers??? You could try the active crossover- Adcom on the bass and the McIntosh on the highs should sound very good. Have you eliminated floor reflections? If you have hard floors placing a rug in front of the speakers can tame some of this. I'd try the ac... | |
| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts If you've already tried swapping left/ right inputs to eliminate a mismatch at the source/cabling, try swapping the leads from the amp to speaker- in other words- remove the cable from the left speaker terminals and move them to the right speaker ... | |
| Preamp Suggestions I would see if you are getting the "emotion" via another source i.e: the DAC or cd/ computer playback before replacing the turntable. There are several sets of variables involved in that source- cart, the tt itself, the phono pre... Substituting w... | |
| Dual cs 522 It's worth whatever someone will pay him for it. The market for these items varies wildly depending on several factors. Where he got it and how much he paid for it are irrelevant- If you inherit a Mercedes from your uncle, should you be obliged to... | |
| Acceptable level of hum at max volume? Lewm> Hum coud be present in a tube circuit if tubes are not shielded. Leaving tubes unshielded helps get heat out and is a point of visual appeal for many people, whereas transistors are usually contained in a shielded box, because they aren't... | |

| EL34 TESLA vs MULLARD The Mullards are truly great in guitar amps. This is part of why they cost so much. In a 70's Marshall amp they roll off the nasty grit in the high end. Sell 'em to a guitarist: we love them! Mullard pre-amp tubes are highly sought after also.I ha... | |
| Original prices for LP albums I bought Electric Ladyland- a double LP at my high school bookstore in 1982. I think I paid $12-. Most single LP's were $6.9 or so. Some of the pressings were rather sketchy around that time. I remember buying King Crimson on the EG label and it h... | |
| Faceplates Silver or Black??????? For me silver-I like the look of the black faceplate but find the lettering difficult to read in low light. For components with few controls power amps and the like, black is great. | |
| EL34 SE 12wpc for $200 new...anybody tried this? You have to put it together, right? | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? I wonder if some of the new/old LP sound comes down to the expertise of mastering engineers and new vs old methods. In the 50's,60's and 70's I suspect that there were large numbers of mastering engineers all of whom were mastering for vinyl. Betw... | |
| Frank Zappa? I like Hot Rats and Joe's Garage plenty. |
