| Melos MA-222 Looking for the owners manual for the MA-222, if anyone has it. Thanks! | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new I thought the Nakamichi products were akin to the Threshold S-300, etc. They used the STASIS sliding bias under license from Threshold. The Forte amps used fixed bias. | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new Here’s a quick rundown of what I know of the Forte products. While Nelson Pass ran Threshold: Model 1/1A - 50 w/ch Class A (more like 15-20W class A) Model 2 - Opamp-based preamp w/phono and separate power supply Model 3 - 200 w/ch Class AB A... | |
| Accuphase C-200, X, L, V What is the difference? I've been looking at the C-200 lately and here's what I've gleaned: The C-200 came out in 1973. The X version came out in 1980. The L version in 1984 and the V version in 1987. The cosmetics basically stayed the same, but each version changed ... | |
| So I just bought an Accuphase C-200 I'm way late to this party, but to answer the AMP button question for posterity, there is a POWER AMP power outlet on the rear of the C-200 (bottom left of the switched receptacles). The button controls power to that receptacle. | |
| Any Cary SLP 2002 owners here? Hi Reb,I own one and like the sound, but my interest is piqued by the mods you allude to....what did you do to it?Thanks,Jeff | |
| Nola Viper Owners, Lend Me Your Amps Hawk,I've only played with SS amps, so my preference right now is tube pre over SS pre.I'm very limited in the positioning of the speakers and they are very close to the rear walls. This seems to fatten the bass a bit...to the edge of acceptabilit... | |
| Replace my Technics SH-10B3 Obsidian SP10 base? Can't offer my own comparisons, but take a look at the info here:http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/sp10plinth.htmlNo affiliation, blah, blah, blah.Jeff | |
| Advice on possible preamp upgrade Take a look at the Cary SLP-2002. I have it and the PV-14 right now. I enjoy the sound of both preamps and they offer around 20db of gain (the PV-14 has 22db).The CJ has the better volume control and remote. It also only uses 2 tubes. The Cary add... | |
| Nola Viper Owners, Lend Me Your Amps I have the Alon Lotus Elite, which are the predecessors to your Nola Vipers. I'm using a Classe 15 & Cary SLP-2002 to good effect right now.I've also used Threshold Stasis 2, Jeff Rowland Model 3s, & Belles 350A for amps. All had plenty of... | |
| Rowland model 5 vs Threshold S500 series II Not sure where you get the idea that Mr Rowland doesn't like to work on his old stuff, that is definitely not my experience. I called ahead and was in the same day to have my model 3 amps and Consonance pre checked out. He spent over an hour-and-a... | |

| HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM? Couple of suggestions on the sub:1. Lift the ground with a cheater plug on the sub.2. Check to see if the sub is connected on a different outlet/circuit.Jeff | |
| cartridge/preamp volume issue Do you use CDs or another line-level source? Where do you set the volume for that?It seems like 70 db (54 db from GCPH and 16 db from BBE) is plenty of gain for 0.6mv cart.You could also try the MM input of your BB Extreme to see if you can get an... | |
| Need advice on pre/pro - Rotel1098/Outlaw990/??? Tim,No problems/issues with the 885 so far. The HDMI switching and Reon video processing are nice additions.But, for me, it is audibly inferior to the EAD, especially in Stereo. It was not subtle to me, but I've lived with the EAD for over 2 years... |
