| Question on Output Music Hall MMF-5 / Sumiko Pre Chris, the records that are causing the woofer flapping are probably warped. Warping creates subsonic signals that are transmitted to your cartridge to the preamp to amp and subsequently to the woofers. If you play your speakers loudly this could ... | |

| Design Plans or Kits for LP storage Rack There is a wood shop in PA that makes modular units in cherry or oak for LP storage. Try tonyswoodshop.com.I am not affiliated with the above business and have not bought anything from them yet. But it does look like a viable option for you.Good luck | |
| Anyone listen to the NPR jazz series cd's? I generally listen to WAMC rather than WMHT. I am not much of a classic music fan. I recently gave away the old analog Denon tuner I had. I have a lot of RF issues since I use a separate DAC and jitter reducer with my digital front end.In its stea... | |
| Anyone listen to the NPR jazz series cd's? Tireguy,THere is another NPR station in our area that does play jazz although only in the evening. That is WAMC, 90.3 on your FM dial. Most of the programming though is news and public affairs. The evening and week end programing includes jazz, fo... | |
| What component have you changed out the most? Speakers. 1976-ESS Tempest 1979-Infinity Qa's 1982- Dahlquist Model 7 1988- Paradigm 3se mini's 1991- B&W 520s (These really sucked, woofers rubbed against baffle) 1994- Paradigm 7se Mk 3 2000- Paradigm Reference Studio 60v2 | |
| B&K ST2140 or Odyssey Stratos 150? I concur with everybody on this thread. If you like a warm sound and the money is tight, B&K is wonderful for the money. I have a ST140 (precursor of the 2140) and have used it in my system for 9 years. I just replaced it this spring with a us... | |
| Better B&K amp? Definitely go for the 442. Punchier and better separation due to dual mono construction. | |
| Music Hall MMF-7 or the Rega 3 Grado is well known for potential hum issues at the end of the record. Consider mounting a Dynavector 10x4MkII, its a better tracker. For tonal balance IMHO better for rock or jazz. If it is beyond your price range, it is worth waiting and saving ... | |
| Music Hall MMF-7 or the Rega 25 If you buy Music Hall make sure you buy it locally. There seem to be many QC issues. It may be theoretically easier to set up. However, a defective speciemen may be impossible to set up correctly. | |

| Belt for Technics turntables Audibleguy, I assume you mean belt drive Technics turntables, direct drive turntables don't have belts!!!! The motor directly drives the platter. | |
| MSB DAC LinkIII 24/192KHz I had a MSB Link DAC III modded by Dan Wright at modwright.com for $250. It was well worth it. Either Stan's or Dan's mods may be better values. | |
| Rega P3 / Music Hall MMF 5 or 7 Turntable decision I would definitely go with the P3-2000 Rega. I am an old analog fan, I've had a component system since the 70's and own ~600 lps. I just replaced my old Rotel RB900 (Rega Planar 2 clone) with a P3 with a OL250 arm. The sound is truly better for th... |
