Here's a picture of the Music Hall remote and review.http://www.audaud.com/audaud/OCT02/EQUIP/equip1OCT02.htmlI recently read a different review which stated the Shanling and Music Hall versions had different remotes...and that it prompted the rev... | |
| What's up with Joida stuffs from Hongkong? All the HK units I see on eBay are 220V units - is the conversion to US 110V pretty easy? | |
| Plinius 8150i vs. Plinius 8200 mk. 2? Now I'm thinking of getting my hands on a MKII to compare. A bit more information for anyone interested. Authoritative sources tell me that the power supply in the MKII is substantially larger than the MKI - thus able to deliver far more clean cur... | |
| How should I handle this? If the dealer response is unsatisfactory, Macrojack is right on the money. But assuming the best of people until proven otherwise, if the dealer takes care of the problem on his dime, I'd like to know for future reference as well. | |
| Speaker cables for Maggie 3.5s Eagle:You bring up something I've been wanting to research everytime I look at those stainless steel XO boxes. Can you describe in more detail what you've done to elminate the XO biwire connections? | |
| Rega P3 2000: Can the interconnects be upgraded? The P3 has a RB300 'arm - RB300 (and RB600) are stock from Rega with end-to-end interconnects (I have the 600, which uses different cable and Neutrik Pro-Fi RCA's). I suppose the argument is it provides one less connection to color the low level s... | |

| Will the Plinius 8200 Mk1 fit my needs? I would concur with the last two posts from 8200 owners...and I'm not selling mine. I am running two Maggie 3.5's, which have been purported to be a current-hungry, difficult load to drive. I'm not an engineer so cannot refute or confirm, but I am... | |
| Plinius 8150i vs. Plinius 8200 mk. 2? The 8150 was offered from May 1988 through July 2000. It was replaced by the 8200 MKI in July 2000, which was subsequently replaced by the MKII in October 2001.Both the 8150 and 8200 MKI use the same phono stage which supports both MM and MC, but ... | |
| For SF Cremona: JF Concentra 1 or Plinius 8150? FWIW, I have a 8200 MK.1, which started life as an 8150 (was upgraded to 8200 by the US distributor). Have read various reviews claiming 8200 MK.I is a singificant improvement over 8150, and that 8200 MK.II is a big upgrade over MK.I. These claims... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Oh, that's right...this thread started because you asked a question.Off topic but based on your original post, I'm also a jazz head and Crimso devotee. But finding decent Crimson vinyl is not easy. DGM is selling all Fripp's remastered digital, bu... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Even the casual lurker like me knows when someone asks for a 'table recommendation, Tom will suggest Teres. We can all count on that like the sun rising. Those of us who are not considering buying one in the near future take that en passant. It re... | |
| Purchasing used lps on Audiogon 4yanx - thanks for the heads up. Having only purchased vinyl from Audiogon members a couple of times (and they more than met my expectations), the heads up on the bad experiences is very welcome. Although I have no affiliation or connection with t... | |
