| got the HW-19, now need advise on cartridge The Grado may hum (probably will?) on the HW-19 table. I would recommend the Ortofon. I've bought a used cartridge (pricey MC for 1/2 price new) which has turned out to be a great buy but with a used cartridge its definitely buyer beware | |
| Meridian 508.24 Service I owned a 508.24 but sold it years ago. When I first got it I was thrilled with its sound quality but cd has vastly improved. I found a Rega Apollo has superior pace as the 508.24 is indeed boring by modern standards. I now used a Sim Moon which i... | |
| NAD 304 - Best SS amp ever? No experience with a 304 but I do have experience with another NAD amp. Years back I owned a very costly 2oo+ wpc amp which developed a fault. I sent it to madrigal for repair and while it was being repaired I put in an NAD amp into the system wit... | |

| Components that you regret parting with? Tandberg TR-2045 receiver. Transformer failed. | |
| Help me diagnose the problem I am going to move the suspect KT90 to a different tube socket. If I continue to blow the V1 fuse it's not the tube. If I blow the fuse corresponding to wherebI move the tube, It's the tube- | |
| Stereophile Class A tables I've heard some class A items, and have had mixed feelings. Some have been wonderful and other were just expensive. What I don't understand is if A is supposed to be the best without any practical consideration why should their be such a wide vari... | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? Regardless of what the offer is the seller always has the right to say NO. This is business, it's not personal.I've made some lowish offers. I do this to get the ball rolling. And to my surprise, my first offer is sometimes accepted. | |
| Rogue Audio Tempest ii and Tempest iii I own a Tempest II Magnum. Since the III was released I communicated with Rogue to find out what the differences are and what the update cost is. From what I was told, there is the headphone amps you mention plus a switchable active line stage. Th... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Too much "ink spilled" on two diverging opinions already. I would not hang my hat on the words of any reviewer.For me a review is a starting point, not the destination. I would certainly want to hear something based on a great review but would not... |
