| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD BTW: I forgot to mention, it sounds like you have an arm and cartridge mismatch causing the cartridge to resonate. You can try adding some mass to the arm and see if that corrects the problem. | |
| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD The Sonata comes in three versions. I use the Sonata with 1.5 mv output which is known as the Sonata VPI version. Call Grado and they will give you the info on this. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Check out Quicksilver audio. Mono amps are all he makes. | |
| Afraid to buy new speakers Get yourself a speaker with a sealed woofer. The Harbeth P3ESR or Spendor 3/5r's are both excellent and can be placed anywhere. If you think you need a sub, mate them with a SVS SB-1000 and you will have an ouststanding system within your budget. | |
| A Shout-Out for Grado Service They are the oldest american family owned company in the audio business. I have been dealing with them for over thirty years and always received outstanding service. | |
| How hot are they ? If you ask that question over at Audio Asylum you should get an answer. | |

| Speaker and Amp dilemma I had that same amp years ago and it puts out 350 watts into four ohms! I have also owned a Classe model 15 and liked the Forte better! That being said I think you should go for the M-L's and enjoy your retirement! | |
| Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen? I stand corrected,I see Waterford makes pens also! | |
| Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen? Mont Blanc makes nice pens!I think you mean Waterman,Waterford makes crystal! | |
| Change a 2 channel amp to a mono block amp Do the speakers have bi-wire option? If they do you can bi-amp them! Otherwise like Mofi said,forget it! | |
| SDS or phono stage Get a nice tube phono preamp like the Croft Acoustics RIAA for $995. | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? Are you sure that the fuse rating are exactly the same? Some 2 amp are 250 volts and some are 125 volts! Do you really hear a difference with the fuses? If not just go back to the standard ones and avoid the problem! |
