I've used Cardas posts in the past on a Carver amp ,but they don't make ones with mechanical connections like Tom is recommending .This will be one of the somethings that I will have to make a decision on , as you know from experience the dollars ...

Thank you TomI haven't taken the speakers out yet , not until I start the crossovers upgrad project .To answer beetemania's question and maybe more insight into the issue.When playing the IBE cd louder than normal something vibrating making a nois...

Thank you jon-5912 and brayeagle I feel relieved and I to have only heard it with the test CD .I'll be running it again next week when I replace the recitifiers on the amp that are faster and have a softer recovery  .

yogiboyThank you and I agree with you kind of ,a new/different amp with  1V input sensitivity would be the directionthat I would go , but for now a higher output from the cartridge is the most economical way to go .Interestingly my CD player has a...

yogiboyI am not looking for higher volume , but more reserve when bass pushes the speakers down to 2 ohms .Rob

Thank You stereo5I've read some good things about ANs cartridge but there doesn't seem to be a lot of them out there .chaksterI don't know what phono stage you are using but it must have one hell of a gain factor.At 1kHz, the gain through the MM i...
