| Distortion on Giant Steps? I feel your pain. Recently picked up an original Kind Of Blue release (VG+) on vinyl and because of some noise on the first track I decided to also buy a new copy of the 200g Classic Records reissue. There is an intermittent "buzz/squawk" at sever... | |
| Need advice on a good Phono preamp I have been extremely happy with a Heed Quasar that I got as a demo for $750. It works great with a .3mv Dynavector. | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? "Fisherman's Blues" - Waterboys on 200g Simply Vinyl | |
| Tube pre/SS amp to replace Plinius 8200 integrated Used to have the Plinius SA100 MkIII (1.7k used) with a Joule LA100 MkII (1.5k used). This was a really nice match and sometimes I wish that I had kept them both. My musical tastes are similar to yours and speakers were Merlin TSM-MX's.good luck | |
| Any feedback on the Nagaoka MP 30 cartridge? It's been years, but I had a Sonogragh/FT-3 combo with the Nagaoka MP-30. It was a nice cartridge. Full-bodied warm sound. Not the most detailed but an easy listen. Really depends on your budget. | |
| 2k budget for Amp How about the Plinius SA50 MkIII that's listed today.Should mate nicely. | |
| Audio Racks & Equipment Support Freediver,Where are you located? I have a 3 shelf TAOC AS-1 rack that I might let go in the near future when my new table is finished.There is a good write up in PFO from a little over a year ago.It is "as new" and I just don't want to ship it eve... | |
| LP jackett maintance and fix? For seam splits try taking a thick piece of construction paper and cutting about 2" wide by 12" and folding it in half lengthwise. Then apply a light coating of Elmer's glue and carefully insert it inside the jacket and up tight into the seam. Be ... | |
| Difference between Plinius Sa-100mklll and Sa-102? I was a long time owner of the SA100 mkIII and sometimes wish that I would have hung on to it. The only difference in operation is that the 102 when run in Class A automatically reverts back to Class A/B after a set length of time without a signal... | |
| Stereovox LSP-600c and Merlin? I have a very similar setup as your's and have been running with TG speaker cables from the start. I love 'em and would recommend anyone with Merlins to at least give them a try. I really find no fault with them, but then I haven't tried any other... | |
| What do you do with all those CD's?? Take a look at my system page as well. I had a friend from work build me a 48" wide floor to ceiling unit with a larger bottom shelf for support and also useful for lp's or storage for box sets. When I began to fill the first unit up, I asked him ... | |
| REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade? Signal cable makes one and I have this one. It's definitely a step up, but I have not heard the Synergistic Research cable or any others.I believe it cost just over $200 for a 12' cable. | |
| Give the new Kid Rock a shot. There's too much good music out there to find......why waste my time on "performers" like kid rock? | |
| Best Source For Quality Jazz CDs? Eastwind Imports has some really tasty Japanese import labels. Not cheap but shipping is reasonable and extremely fast. | |
| Subwoofers and Merlins I have been using a REL Strata III sub with my TSM-MX's for a couple years now and am extremely happy with the match. The Stata is a sealed cabinet (as the Merlins), and I run mine out of phase with the crossover set to it's lowest point. Also hav... |
