| VTA on the fly Perhaps he just loves music and the equipment is just something he needs to get there. | |
| Headshell recommendations for AT33SA on SL1200G I use the stock Technics headshell with my AT-33PTG/II on a Technics SL-1800MKII. I was concerned about weight of the headshell. I mounted the cartridge using bolts&nuts that are slightly longer than needed and upside down. That way the thread... | |
| SUT vs. Phono preamp I have a Premier (Sumiko) S.U.T. and a Pre-Amp, like Boofer posted earlier, I can't hear a difference. | |
| What, in your system, have you owned the longest? I have Acoustat Spectra 33 electrostatic speakers. I bought them new in 1988. | |
| VTL S-200 Tube recommendations Wow, sad to hear. I've only contacted them once since getting 450MKII amps in 09 and that was fuse related. | |
| VTL S-200 Tube recommendations I have VTL amps. I use Gold Lion KT-88's and in the past I've used 6550. The Gold Lion K-88's perform the best with the speakers I currently use. My other speakers prefer 6550's. So, for me it is a matter what speakers I'm using. I recommend... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Oh lets do MC vs. MM vs. MI again too. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Two years ago I purchased a Mcintosh C2500 and love it. I've been kicking myself for not looking at Mcintosh years ago. I use the C2500 with my long time VTL amps. | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? I have tone controls on my pre-amp, don't use them. I use the digital equalizer in iTunes for a few great performances that were poorly recorded. I look at the subject of tone controls pretty simple, It's my music, I paid for it and I'll listen ... | |
| I Need Some Opinions... I use both the Hanna EL and the Denon DL-301MKII. Both perform well above their cost and are highly recommended by many in the community. | |
| How I spent my time at home I checked the level on my TT's then dusted and cleaned the covers. While dusting, I snapped the cantilever off my AT-33PTG/II, yeah that hurt! The replacement 33 arrived Tuesday and I'm about 20 Lp's into the break-in process. LP Gear is not i... | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers I don't use tone controls with vinyl playback. My pre-amp does have tone controls but i don't use them. I do use the digital equalizer in iTunes for a very few early digital recordings. | |
| Audio Asylum access? Currently I can get on AA's page with Safari but not FireFox. | |
| Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate? I had what I call a practice marriage for a short time in the early 80's. I've been married 33 years. Practice make perfect! | |
| McIntosh C2300 vs C2500/C2600 A/B Comparison On the C2500, verify that the Firmware has been updated the latest version. If it has not, don't let that be a deal breaker. An authorized Mcintosh Dealer can do it or Mc. Tech Support over the phone. Good Luck. |
