| new to me turntable and preamp Why not use the Yamaha as a pre and just get a descent phono stage like Bellari. It would be the most economical way to get your analog front end up and running. A pre amp would duplicate a lot of things the Yamaha does. In time you could upgrade ... | |
| 2 out of 3 cats approve Mccormack over Adcom When I saw the title i also mistook it to mean cats as 60's guys, you know, beatniks (now I am dating myself)My cats LOVE to sit atop of my quite warm Bryston amp while I listen, they have been doing it since they were kittens.I too love my cats. | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers I have a pair of Totem Mani-2's that reproduce deep bass very well with proper amplification. Actually it is amazing how clean and deep they go but I find that integrating my Sunfire sub crossed over quite low so that I cant "hear the sub" adds to... | |
| Budget Turntable Cerrot- With the Cardas tonearm rewire and the fluid damper any bass issues are resolved. The motor is dead quiet- check the spec's at KAB U.S.A. There can be issues with the platter so a good mat is mandatory in my view. If you are hung up on the... | |

| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart Markd51- Thanks for all your insight into this table. You gave me plenty to work on today. Fortunately my hands and eyes still work relatively well and your instruction was very clear. It is a simple table at heart and I should be able to master i... | |
| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart One problem solved, the cueing lever is held in place by an allen set screw that is very tiny. I managed to find a proper wrench and loosen/drop it a few ticks and it seems ok. This table was shipped with the arm in place and the platter mounted, ... | |
| Preamp recommendation What type of front end will you be using? Different pre amps have different sonic signatures. What kind of sound are you looking for? Laid back ? Tilted to the top? and what kind of music do you like? Most important is price range as pre's are all... | |
| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart The VPI table was delivered yesterday. Upon first setting up when setting the deck into the chassis the top of the pulley/motor was hitting the bottom of the triangular nameplate that screws over it. I temporarily put cardboard shims on top of the... | |
| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart I primarily used the Goldring 1042 cart with the Technics, it came highly recommended by Kevin at KAB and did not disappoint. At almost $400- it was a little more than I wanted to spend initially, but it was so nice with that table/arm that when i... | |
| Best cartridge under $100 - vintage Akai TT I have used the ShureM97xe on a Technics DD table and was very impressed. The Sumiko Pearl, not so much. But, if you can handle the extra money the Denon will not dissappoint you, much more coherent sound than the Pearl on my table. Take Johnny53'... | |
| Flash report from 2009 T.H.E. Show I had the pleasure of listening to the P1 at THE Show and couldn't believe the depth and breadth of the bass coming from these speakers. Top to bottom they are a jaw dropping speaker with museum quality finish. They will go to spl's that will make... | |
| Jolida JD100 Missing Bass A lot of times cartridge alignment and other analog front end issues can emphisize bass playback, even to the point of subs rumbling or pumping. Some analog systems require the sub to be turned off during playback. Does the digital truly sound lea... | |
| T.H.E. Show admission I went last year while attending CES and had no problem getting in both times I went. Pretty laid back actually. Is it at Alexis Park again this year?? The same dates as CES (which went to the week-end this year)?I think I am flying out on the 6th... | |
