| EAR MC3 moving coil transformer I don't think that Ortofon on Ebay is a transformer. I think it is a head amp, even though it's described as a transformer. It has a power cord on it.The EAR is a very good transformer. Cotter is better, so is Verion(an OEM version). Older Bryston... | |
| What do you guys think of the Rega Super Elys? While the Rega cartridges are ok, there are many better in similar price ranges. I'd take the Dynavector any day. | |
| Help with blown amp Hate to say it, but if you smelled burning plastic, the prognosis doesn't look good. If the amp is just a few months old, then send it back to the Mfr. They generally prefer that you don't take them apart yourself.If you must take it apart yoursel... | |
| Decent phono pre for nad c-350.... There are a variety of them in the low price category. The Sumiko, Parasound, even the "Li'l Rat" from Radio Shack that has got some pretty good coverage over at the Audio Asylum. Also Hagerman Technologies has a nice one at $125, called the Bugle... | |

| What are you thankful for? Haven't seen any hijacking on this thread. Is there something I'm missing? | |
| What are you thankful for? Amen, Bufus! | |
| Will an entry level Project or MusicHall be enough See my response in your other thread. | |
| Any ideas on a good used "starter" table? I think that the older Thorens TTs are very good, but I am not too wild about their tonearms. Any way you look at it, the under $200 market is not going to get you into analog nirvana, but you could get a pretty good sound.If I was going to do it,... | |
| What is a "transmission line" speaker? Sean, here is a link with the dimensions that I used. This guy made some for an 8" driver, and then put a cover over the hole, and used some 4" instead. BTW, the "wings" he uses have no resemblance to the "wings" I used. Mine are "swinging doors" ... | |
| Rega P25 Tonearm Lift It's all over this website. If you look through the archives, I'm sure you'll come up with plenty of references to the "dreaded Grado hum" when used with Rega TT's. The Grado cartridges are highly susceptible to hum fields, and the Rega TTs have t... | |
