| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade I considered the Pangea P100 power supply for my Cambridge 640P and am holding off. Looking at the wall wart that comes with the 640P, it is a 120vac to 12vac supply. Then, looking at the Pangea information, there are two outputs. A 12vdc out and ... | |
| What is the difference the Mani 2 and Signatures I have had both in my system. I was interested in the Mani 2, however my local Totem dealer does not stock this model. They were kind enough to obtain, through their distributer, a pair of 1998 vintage Mani 2 demos for me to audition. These were o... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? Well Denf, I'd say you got a lot of opinions that most likely didn't help with your decision. Ain't this a fun sport? Hey, both turntables will play music for you quite nicely. If you have a dealer that carries both tables, I'd say listen to them ... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? I have not had the opportunity to hear the Scoutmaster at home, however, I think I can give you some informed input on the Spacedeck. The Spacedeck is the sweet spot in the Nottingham lineup IMO. Better than the models below it with diminishing re... | |
| Damping fluid/grease for Mayware Unipivot? Andy, I had a Mayware back in the late 70's and as I recall, the supplied fluid was rather thick stuff. Much thicker than olive oil. In fact, you had to give it time to actually level-out. Your best bet may be to use something thicker than the oli... | |
| Audio Research service One experience about three years ago. They were absolutely superb! I compare my ARC service experience with service I received from another very expensive American manufacturer about six months ago. The work was first class. Communication was ok a... | |
| Buzzzzzing Transformers Tphaliaros,You said monoblocks. Both buzzing? If so, I don't know what the odds of both amps having a xformer failure at the same time are but I'll bet it's real low.I had the same problem with a big Krell and a trip to the factory and a huge sum ... | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for B&W Nautilis 804 Jeff,You got tons of good feedback. I have owned N805's, currently own N804's and am familiar with two more systems with N804's and N803's.With N8XX speakers, wimpy amps need not apply, period! Even the N805's that I used to own didn't wake up unt... | |
| Booming bass from my B&W Nautilus Iujona,You don't say which model of Nautilus speaker unless you are one of the rare few that have "The" Nautilus speaker. I own N804's, I used to have N805's, A co-worker also has N804's and my brother has N803's so I've listened to a few differen... | |
| Personal amp evolution Oh Wow! Let's see...Lafayete Integrated (my first, 1967), Kenwood Integrated (don't remember Model), Marantz 1070 Integrated, Dynaco ST410 w/major mods, Dynaco ST 70 (I think this is still around here somewhere), Hafler DH100, Dynaco Mk VI Tube Mo... | |
| Review: PWX power supply for Black Cube I upgraded to the PWX on my year and a half old Cube. I found the bass to be firmer and deeper. I had always felt that my Glider was a bit thin in the upper bass. The PWX really fixed that. Image is much improved and on the level of my SACD player... | |
| Demagnatizing Phono Cartridges I have an interesting question. If the coil wire is, say, copper, how does it get magnetized? Same with silver. I thought these metals to be non-magnetic. | |
| REGA 600 OR 900 I am familiar with both the RB600 and RB900 arms. Waynev, you do, in fact, have an RB900. Both are silver in color. The RB900 is unique in that it is the only Rega arm using the three screws. The RB250, 300 and 600 use a single post through the pl... | |
| Start Up Rattle on Rega P3 The other respondants are correct in that the "thunk" on start-up is normal. It is not, however, normal once the platter is up to speed. I agree with giving the platter a push as you turn the table on. Although I personally have a P25 which does n... | |
| HALCRO Amplifiers I heard a pair of Halcro amplifiers driving a pair of the new Quads at Hi-Fi Farm in Moneta, Va. I am an audiophile of 30+ years and I must say that the "system" was stunning in many areas. One of the best I've heard.Woodrow |
