| Why Would a Turntable Need More than 1 Arm ? Why would a turntable need more than one record? "Need" doesn't really enter into this hobby. Mounted on one table, I have a 12-inch arm with an SPU and a variety of headshells, and a 9-inch arm with two arm wands that I switch between a variety o... | |
| Ortofon A-90 Tonality Question I like mine at 50 ohms, too, through my Maxxed-Out. | |
| Tube pre-amp upgrade from Mcintosh C2300 You'll have to roll the C500T if you want the best out it. If you don't want to tube roll, and ARC and Shindo don't need it, audition those two brands, choose one, and be done. Sounds like you've pretty much answered your own question. | |
| Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2. Vlassiss, I'm using old Harmonic Tech Pro-9 shotgun bi-wire that I'd put in a drawer and forgotten about. Years ago, when I had another system, I stripped off the big outer jacket. It seemed to open them up a bit but I wouldn't really recommend it... | |
| Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2. I don't really hear that boxiness, I have to say, if you mean cabinet resonance, although I've heard speakers that disappear better. The EPS2s can beam a bit if placement isn't right on. I know from reading your numerous posts these lines that you... | |
| Tube pre-amp upgrade from Mcintosh C2300 I've found C2300 is very responsive to tube rolling. So like Tls49 suggests, that would be a good first step. Still, every poster I've read who has moved to the C500T from the C2300 has reported substantial improvement. Most reports, though, speci... | |
| Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2. Vlassiss, Glad you found amps that work for you. I'm more impressed by my EPS2s as my system evolves. They are remarkably neutral and resolving speakers that let all upstream components shine. Finsup,Maybe you should experiment with speaker cables... | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Rich,Gotcha. Thanks for elaborating.Bill | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Thanks, Goldprintaudio. How would they do on their side? I don't know the gospel concerning horizontal placement of high-end monitors, having been a floorstander most of my days. Do you have a sense for consequent sonic effects?Bill | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Rich, when you tried the Spendor SA1, was the pair well run-in? I've been digging around. Apparently they have a very long break-in period. What did you dislike about them?Bill | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Thanks guys for good advice. I'll certainly wait to see what the Omegas can do with the Stingray. Their front ported is good for this placement. But I'm also interested in other possibilities, just in case. Those Spendors look interesting, being s... | |
| Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters My meters stay off. This thread is pointless. | |
| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 My serenity, like my polarity, is just fine, thanks. Gross generalizations with minimal substantiation call for skepticism, especially in a thread in which the OP asked for no such "enlightenment." | |
| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 One data point implies "very frequently"? | |
| mcintosh c-2300 vs mcintosh c500 phono section Ontjesr, how would you characterize the sonic differences between the phono stages of the C2300 and C500t? How much of the difference do you think is a result of running the amp/preamp link truly balanced? In other words, can you compare single-en... |
