| Good Subwoofer recommendations Check out SVS. They are a great company. 45 day return policy with free shipping. I had the SB-1000 and it was outstanding. | |
| Vintage Receiver: TANDBERG, MARANTZ, or…? I kid you not! All was bought new about 1978.M4000 amp failed within two years. C12 preamp phono section failed within three years. Tuner, forgot model number, leds blew after a few years.Back in those days I paid a pretty penny for that gear and ... | |
| Vintage Receiver: TANDBERG, MARANTZ, or…? McIntosh made some nice receivers from that era. Check out Audio Classics.com. They are a big used Mac dealer. The Tandbergs are real nice but they have not been in business for years. BTW, you are right about Luxman,I have owned their gear and it... | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? I would always buy black speakers. A few years ago I bought a pair of used Harbeths that are Eucalyptus and I like that wood finish the best. No more black speakers for me! | |
| need help with Conrad Johnson preamp SNAFI You stated that you unplugged the speakers. You should always leave the speakers hooked up to a tube amp(needs load). Just some information for future testing. | |
| Checking speed 331/3, 45 A Strobe Disc, The Vinyl Engine has a free download of the disc with instructions of how to use it! Extreme Phono.com also has a free one! | |
| Which headshell to use? Sumiko HS 12,Adjustable Azimuth,Litz wire, Needle Doctor sells it for $90.00. | |
| Tandberg 3004 The Raymonda decks are nice but a Yogiboy is a notch above! | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? Viridian, He held the patent but they were never produced for the mass market,if so that was over 50 years ago. What other USA brand made the MC cartridge? I am really curious,thanks! | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? Goldring is made in England. Grado is one of the last home grown left but it is not a MC. Even Shure is made in Mexico! I don't think any MC was ever made here! | |
| McIntosh MC7100 - power switch, leave it on? If it is awkward to get to the rear of the amp then get a power strip with an on and off switch . Plug the amp into that and turn it on and off from the power strip. I would not leave an amp on all the time. | |
| Best amp for $550 to mate with the following... If it is possible save up and hold off and get a new Odyssey Audio Khartago for $995.00. Factory direct ,30 day return, 20 year warranty, made in USA. You would be better off in the long run than buying some older amp that might end up giving you ... | |
| cartridge install issue If the anti-skating is not correct it will cause that problem. Fool with it and see if that helps! | |
| Matching a preamp with a different brand The input impedance of the amp should be ten times or more than the output impedance of the preamp. The output voltage of the preamp should be the same or more than the input sensitivity of the amp. | |
| Sealed / Front-ported monitor recommendations I own the Harbeth P3ESR and I think it would fit the bill! The Spendor 3/5R2 is another great one for about $500 less. Keep away from any type of ported type even if it is in the front. |
