| Anyone else enjoy putting together Frankenstein low to mid-fi -systems? I recently moved into the mountains of Central Nevada and put together a little system for use with my Solar/Battery power source. Some components were 2nd system, like the Spica TC50 speakers and Pioneer VSX 522 Receiver. For the TT I'm using a... | |
| Krell KSA 200s power feed I had a Krell 200 FPB stereo amp for a while. When I first got it, I would power it up and the lights in the room would dim. Too many devices on a 20 amp circuit. At the time the house was only 5 years old. I put in a 20 amp dedicated outlet. Two ... | |
| Would like to upgrade amplifier and would appreciate suggestions. VTL 450 MKII used should fit you budget. | |
| Equalizer for hearing loss I played with the digital EQ in my playback software to constipate for slight high frequency loss and really didn't care for it. I'll revisit the issue if it gets worst. | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? I'm 68 with knee and hip issues. Recently I had a TT die. I replaced it with a Technics SL-10 full auto linear tracking TT. I'm pretty happy with it's ease of use and performance. It has a Ortofon OMP10 cartridge with OM30 stylus which I really... | |
| VTL MB 185 SERIES II I have used VTL Amps for 20 years. The auto biasing and fault protection is truly an awesome feature. | |
| At33ptg II perfect straight out the box I played with mass a bit and also declination/VTA, AT cartridges like the arm to be tail up about 26 degrees. I used the 33 with two different arms: Jolida 750 9" on an SL-1210 and a SL-1800MKII stock. The 33 seems to perform slightly better wit... | |
| Switching to battery power Starting later this month I will be living off the grid until September. I have excepted a "Caretaker" position for a Battery/Solar power cabin in the mountains. I'm taking my bedroom system, Spica TC 50 speakers and a newer Pioneer VSX-522 rece... | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? I'm 67 and my knees talk back on the way down and up from putting on records. My 3 TT's are in the rack and 2.5 feet above the floor. I have made two changes to keep me off my old knees. I replaced one TT with a SL-10 and it's full auto. The o... | |
| At33ptg II perfect straight out the box Like I posted I loved it right out of the box but after about 20 hours I switched to a Technics 7 gram headshell and put it on my SL-1800MKII TT. I had it on a SL-1210 w/Jelco 750 arm. It sounded a bit fuller after the change. | |
| At33ptg II perfect straight out the box Loved the AT-33PTG straight out of the box too. | |
| Is my Esoteric DV-50S a keeper? I have the original DV-50 and won't sell it. I tried to replace it once and got an Esoteric D-7 DAC. It's super nice but the old 50 has a warmer presentation. I also use it for Concert DVD's. It has the best picture I've ever seen. | |
| Universal disc players as CD players. I use a Esoteric DV-50 kind of old but still amazing. | |
| Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ?? No, they just look cool. | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I have Thiel CS6's and never could get them dialed in, after a bunch of amps and cable I pushed the against the wall and moved on. They are my biggest audio miss-judgement and costly mistake. The last two days have been rainy so I set them up. ... |
