| what the best phono preamp used with CAT SL1 Well, opinions vary, but some of the best would be the Aesthetix IO Signature, Manley Steelhead, Counterpoint SA-9, to name a few. | |
| Should I upgrade my pre-amp? MFA Magus or Counterpoint SA-3, or SA-3000. Great phono stages and very nice tube preamps. Used, of course, they are both out of business, but can be serviced by ex-factory personnel and designers. If you want to go with ARC, I prefer the earlier ... | |
| Continuation of my Thread on VPI, Basis, Origin... Hi Rwd. About the low level rumble on that record, there is some possiblility that it is the record that is the problem. If the rumble does not occur on other records, I wouldn't worry about it.Regarding upgrades, the order of upgrading in analog ... | |
| Riddle me this... I'd like to add, that the speaker manufacturers are complicit in this deal. When the majority of speaker manufacturers are putting out multi-way speaker systems with sensitivity ratings in the mid 80 db range, that is going to require high wattage... | |
| What do you guys thing of the Corus Black Cart. It appears that the Roksan Corus Black is actually a Goldring 1012, re-labled for Roksan. Linn and Audio Note also do this with the Goldring 1042. The Corus Black specs are virtually identical to the Goldring 1012,including the Gyger II stylus, an... | |
| New Phono Pre-Amp A Black Cube, Musical Surroundings Phenomena, or Trichord Dino, would be candidates in that price range. | |
| RFI issues in phono stage-one channel only ?? I'm thinking it would be in one of the cables. | |
| What of your gross annual income is your system? Approximately 50%. | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Sorry, that's just what it seemed like. When a question about this has a "killed by guns" attachment, and not just "killed by any means", there is an underlying agenda there. I contend that if somebody wants to kill, a baseball bat will do the job... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" And how would that kind policeman protect the citizens, pray tell? Call for more unarmed policemen? Organize a global economic boycott of the criminal? Or maybe suggest a few "sensitivity counseling" sessions? Oh boy! | |
| Best reasonable$ upgrade from spikes? Yes, you need non-flexible type spikes. Rigid, with no rubber or anything like that. Speakers must not be allowed to rock at all, even the smallest invisible rocking will cause sonic problems. | |
| 300B-PP for Merlin TSMM A 24 watt amp would give about a 100db peak max on the Merlins(at 1 meter). This means about 90db average with 10db available headroom for music peaks. If this is loud enough for your listening tastes, then it will be fine. Most folks want the cap... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" I haven't seen the documentary, so I can't comment directly on it. If it advocates gun control, then please let me know so I can avoid contributing money to the producers, by renting this film. They can talk about gun control all they want, but I ... | |
| Designing a transmission line cabinet Sean, as you know, you can only calculate a reasonable starting point and work from there. Unless you have a pre-designed cabinet plan that is known to work for those drivers. One plan that could work with them would be the "Ace" cabinet. This is ... | |
| Please help me sort through this turntable mess Ivanj, the Shelter cartridges are produced by Mr. Ozawa, who was involved with the Fidelity Research cartridges. Ikeda is making his own stuff separately, as you mentioned. |
