| Do I need a pre-amp? "Zd542, Why the snarky sarcasm? My point was simply why would OP allocate money to a frill like a TT when he appears less than satisfied his more basic audio components."Since when is a TT a frill component? People on this web site sell cables tha... | |
| Do I need a pre-amp? "11-12-15: DbphdZd542, my comments have been aimed at OP's motivation for vinyl, given the other components he's using."I suspect the OP won't be the first person to use a TT with a receiver. Maybe not even the last. As for the rest of it, its goo... | |
| Do I need a pre-amp? "Inna, my impression from OP's post was that he might not have the knowledge base to make an informed decision about vinyl, nor with his equipment might he be able to appreciate the distinction (whatever that might be) in sound between an analog a... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost "That said - that was before I realized that what I wanted most from my speakers was speed and transparency in addition to just plain old bass extension. So I was wondering if you were pointing me towards any specific bookshelf speakers with that ... | |
| Linn LP12 Turntable; Motor Speed Problem 1. I ski, not snowboard. 2. I've already put my Magnapans to good use as doors in my house. | |
| 2 runs of KK 8TC or 1 8TC and 1 4TC They'll definitely sound different, but only you can judge if they're better. But if you plan to do a double biwire, I would definitely use the exact same cable for both runs, and not mix them. | |
| Normal or Abnormal? I actually buy their answer. It's very difficult to put into words what something sounds like. A bad pot sounds like a crunchy type of static. It can be very faint, or very loud, and its not always consistent. After reading through the posts, it l... | |
| Do I need a pre-amp? "11-10-15: DbphdI'm having trouble imagining a guy who uses an AVR and wants the bother of vinyl. A good digital source would seem more fitting."We all have to start somewhere. Maybe in the future, he'll upgrade his other components in a way that ... | |
| Linn LP12 Turntable; Motor Speed Problem I forget exactly where The Cable Company is in PA, but they may be within driving distance. I can also recommend Rick from AA. I went skiing and got lost, so I pulled in to ask for directions and he sold me a pair of Vandersteen's. | |
| looking for truly transparent affordable amp s I've seen several Krell KAV 250's come through for quite a bit less than $2500. I used to have one. Its not perfect, but its pretty much exactly what you are asking for. Its made in the US and built like a tank. Be careful not to drop it on your f... | |
| Normal or Abnormal? "But, how important is this really, I presume you bought the integrated to play music, not test tracks- so why worry about it."Its a brand new piece. He shouldn't have to live with a problem like that on something brand new. Also, if it does turn ... | |
| Do I need a pre-amp? Rcprince is correct. You need a phono preamp and your Marantz doesn't have one. Since you're new, I would just buy all 3 as a package from a dealer that's good with TT's. | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 You have more options going with separates. Assuming the speakers are broken in, the harshness usually involves the preamp. My personal feeling on the matter, is to get an amp with more power and easier on the ears. And since you really can't get ... | |
| Protection I just looked it up out of curiosity. PayPal is listed as a money transmitter. Normal consumer protection laws don't always apply, so there is a much greater risk of loss using them. | |
| Protection "11-09-15: PaladinDo you know/trust this seller?If so you will have to make multiple payments through PP.I have done this in the past - But you had better know whom you are sending $10K+ to."Not only that, but given the fact that a PayPal transact... |
