| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @2psyop Thank you for the recommendation. The Soundsmith might be out of my budget, but who knows. I am selling about 500 records, so circumstances may change. Cheers. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @elliottbnewcombjr First. Thanks for the detailed and on topic response. Funny that you mention the Quartz Locked Direct Drive option. Until a few months ago, before I decided to sell everything, I had planned to build a new turntable. To that ... | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @hickamore But, it's not about improving my streaming setup. It's about reacquainting myself with analog. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @jasonbourne71 That makes sense. The Hana SL MkII was on my short list. I also have a Supex 900 Super with a snapper cantilever that I could get fixed as well. Unfortunately I have no idea if it would be a good match for the arm. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @ghdprentice My digital end is just fine for now. That is why I was selling the turntable and records. Aurender N100 to Denafrips Iris DDC to Denafrips Pontus II. Retipping the Clearaudio cartridge is certainly the least expensive option, but ... | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @yogiboy The 10.2 effective mass is for the later version of the JMW9, not the 2006 version. | |
| Send in the Clowns @maxlarson +2 People need to understand that these are "discussions", not MMA. | |
| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? @larsman I did know that. That was my error in not saying that "Best Buy was previously selling them". | |
| Did I just cook my preamp? This an excerpt from the user guide. May have something to do with it. Or not. IMPORTANT: A turntable with a functional cartridge MUST be connected to the MOON 110LP prior to connecting the AC power cord, otherwise you may damage your amplifi... | |
| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? First time I have heard a supposedly legendary brand brag that their technology is 80 years old. McIntosh certainly knows how to market. There's a reason that Best Buy is selling them. | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. I am feeling pretty positive about myself. I only answered "yes" to 8 out of 10 questions. One day at a time. | |
| Netting Over Connectors - Do They Help? No comment (although I now need to visit the emergency department to have a doctor reattach my tongue). | |
| Headphones for sound control I would think that we are in agreement that a stand alone headphone amp would be superior to the built in Ayre. The real question is whether the McIntosh headphone amp is worth the money? Of course, maybe you have a thing for black glass and blu... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. @rwalsh07 Do you have any acoustic treatment, are there a variety of furnishings, rugs, etc. or is everything bare walls and bare floors? | |
| 1 meter speaker cables "Am I overthinking this?" Of course you are, but the alternative is worse. Nothing good happens when you underthionk. |
