| Integrated amp/speaker matching And...I do not mean to be brand-bashing Yamaha...which is a highly respected brand with precise, wonderful gear. I will concede that am not qualified in any way to offer a technical opinion about their model list. And...likely, my many years with ... | |
| Integrated amp/speaker matching Thank you all for contributing to my feverish desire to get the best sound I can chase after. After all of my discoveries about speaker placement and amps and gain... I would really like to delve into tubes I was pondering a Dynaco PAS 3 x for a... | |
| Integrated amp/speaker matching That was my mistake. Undoubtedly confusing it with a higher priced model. I stand corrected. | |
| Integrated amp/speaker matching Thank you for all of the input within the responses. Ya know...humbly, I have to admit... When disassembled, sometimes my opinions are basically conclusions based on assumptions, culled from points I have read, cobbled together from things that ... | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? Thank you all for lending your support and advice. And...since this hobby is fluid and subject to many factors...real or not...including whims and perceptions...please indulge me as I am going to ramble here...in a kind of free-verse-stream-of-co... | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? Speakermaster...thank you...With your advice... To me...that would suggest that perhaps since I have a VERY efficient set of Cerwin Vega speakers...101db...Perhaps I should consider backing the gain off a tad...maybe from Full-On 5:00 to 3:00? a... | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? Thank you so much all... I know I am getting quality feedback (pardon the pun) because I have needed to reread the answers numerous times; why above my pay grade knowledge wise. but, I thoroughly get the gist of where I need to be with my Yamaha ... | |
| IMHO (and friend's) opinion of acrylic platter Hello...Thank you all for your varied and detailed responses to my issues with my old Dual 1219. It would seem that with my desires to move up the food chain sound-wise, I have exceeded the old turntable's abilities. The 50 year old technology j... | |
| IMHO (and friend's) opinion of acrylic platter Thank you all for your the kind input.The new acrylic platter was placed on a "stock" Dual 1219 platter; the metal kind with a rubber inlay. It would seem to me that to compensate for the fact that the album is now 3mm higher, I would consider uti... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg I send the best to all and wish strength. Though I did not have access to Al and his kind generosity and wisdom... It is nice to read how someone has made a difference...affecting those around him in positive ways; leaving a space to be remembere... | |
| One of those moments we analog people live for... Thank you all for responding...IMHO, I always heard in my own ears my Yamaha separates M-70, C-70 as very neutral...hence the "Natural Sound"...which, I would suspect would lead someone to be careful about which speakers and cartridge to use... I... | |
| New vs vintage/original vinyl Thank you for the detailed entry. I stand corrected. I was running on a pure, assumptive theory that clues lined up to be sought and seen for the affiliated. I guess its like many parts of this hobby...it is all basically easy...but not that sim... | |
| Pondering to pull the trigger on an AT VM 760SLC Yes!! I knew I was leaving one out...University Stereo. That was also back in the day when stores could and would be next door to one another. Anyone familiar with the San Fernando Valley...back in the 70's...a friend of mine and I would take t... | |
| New vs vintage/original vinyl Thanks to all who decided to wrangle their way through a tricky, winding path of opinions and many multi-faceted factors. Yeah...there is not easy way to navigate through the different ways to "replace" a stupidly given-away album collection. I s... | |
| Pondering to pull the trigger on an AT VM 760SLC Thank you so much for responding. The old days, one could go to a number of Los Angeles stereo chain stores...Federated, Pacific Stereo, Now Sound, Rogers Sound Labs, Cal Stereo...and so many others. Now...I just want to listen to the 3 differe... |
