McIntosh Fans - I'm Considering an Amp Upgrade
Can't go wrong with a mc275 
Is there any bad sounding high-end gear--?
Those are some interesting comments, especially about the VSM. I mostly hear nothing but praise for that speaker. Each to his own I guess

I have the Benz Glider on my JMW9 right now and it sounds great. The thing I do not understand is that the motor assembly appears to be the same as the H2. I am starting to think my cartridge may be defective. I sent it to Musical Surroundings and... 
New Marantz SA11S2?
did you change the fuses? 
Sibilance issues with vinyl rig
I took of the the headshell weight and it sounds better.One think I always noticed with my H2 is the the diamond would point towards the spindle. The cartridge body would be perpendicular with the record surface but not the diamond. I read on here...

Update. A friend of mine brought his Benz Glider over and set it up on my table. It tracks perfect. This is the first time I have heard this kind of performance on my Scout JMW 9. Now I know that it is not the table or arm. Maybe there is somethin... 
Cowboy Junkies on Cassic, not as good as orig CD
Some that I have heard that are decent the classical reissues and Led Zeppelin III does sound great.The classical reissues do not sound like the old Living Stereos. In some ways they are better and in others they are not. The originals have a more...

It is not that the JMW 9 is terrible. It is just not the best choice for MC cartridges. VPI's longer arms are better for them. Mark, nobody is saying you have to spend tons to get great performance, although the better arms usually do cost more. M...

The 9 inch JMW is not a good choice for MC cartridges. It simply is not good enough for this. The 10 inch JMW arm is much better in this regard. JMW 9 may be fine for MM, I am going to try this. I am planning to upgrade down the road. I just like ...

I have a Scout JMW 9 Tonearm combo with a Benz Cartridge. Sadly I must say that I have heard records that tracked perfectly all the way through, not on my Scout JMW 9. One thing I have learned from talking to other analog lovers and listening for ... 
Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters
I love my mc275. No meters. I suppose there is better, but I would probably have to pay 3 times as much to get all that this amp gets right. It works very well with my Pass X1.
