| Best used preamp for $1500? If you can do a fairly accurate job of what your speakers are and the music you listen to most, your room size and how loud you listen, you will most likely get more recommendations. | |
| Best used preamp for $1500? I've always considered the Speakers to be the heart of a system and the preamp the soul of a system. You are asking one of the most subjective questions out there and everyone is right, they found what is right for them. Your taste, your emotional... | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production I am a Panasonic Dealer, My rep tells me that she would have a problem getting one for me. If there is an interest out there and you come across one, get it while you can. | |
| Almost set up Alright, looked it up, final tracking angle is based on the sylus cantiliever, so the little tube that the diamond is mounted on should be 18 to 24 degrees. I recommend to shoot for 20 to 22. Get a protractor and check out 20 degrees, replicate th... | |
| Almost set up Hi Fredg, The starting place for vta is the diamond itself should be a 90 degree angle to the album surface or the diamond sits perfectly straight up and down in the album groove. You are trying to replicate the original cutting stylus angle, whi... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? It may have been handled, I haven't read all of the threads.The Forest used a HiVi D6.8. I have built with it a few times and am using it now in an mtm with a Scan Speak tweeter. It is a very well built 6.8 inch driver capable of great bass and a ... | |
| best pre-amp new or used for under $500? If you are patient, you will find a Muse 3 @ $500.00. You won't find a Signature 3 at that price, but you won't find a better value than the Muse... Neutral, airy, nice slam and a remote to boot. Do your homework, read the reviews everywhere you c... | |

| best used inexpensive cd only player About a year ago, I bought an MHZS CD33F on ebay for $280.00. I don't think you could buy one now for under $400.00 (G version) It was very good. I went on line and found maybe 20 or 25 mods that could be done. They were straight forward most even... | |
| Overpowering Speakers Thanks for your kind response Almarg, Pulled my old SpeakerCraft notes out, here is what I had word for word. I'm just old. The bulb wires in series with the tweeter, under normal average music conditions it is just a low value resistance as the p... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Hifihvn, Nice article, this as good as advice as one could give knowing the difficult load of the Kappa's. These are all nice sounding amps and some are even affordable. | |
| Overpowering Speakers Sorry everyone if I have put you through all of this, I hope it has been beneficial, but I think that I'm going to leave this one alone, I didn't sign on to argue or prove anything, only to help, I'm a big stickler on seperating fact from opinion.... | |
| Overpowering Speakers This is from Club knowledge, an article about clipping distortion. I hope this makes sense. Tim Glad you asked! The amp will try to meet the power demand placed upon it, but it cannot exceed its design capabilities. This in turn, produces the dead... | |
| Overpowering Speakers Thanks Al, I was trying to make very general terms understandable and as much as you are generally correct. Crossovers do see DC as High frequency and do route 1st to the tweeter. This DC is raw current. Crossovers do not block DC. In fact, Throu... | |
