Personal amp evolution Oh Wow! Let's see...Lafayete Integrated (my first, 1967), Kenwood Integrated (don't remember Model), Marantz 1070 Integrated, Dynaco ST410 w/major mods, Dynaco ST 70 (I think this . . .	644
Audio Research service One experience about three years ago. They were absolutely superb! I compare my ARC service experience with service I received from another very expensive American manufacturer . . .	31
VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? I have not had the opportunity to hear the Scoutmaster at home, however, I think I can give you some informed input on the Spacedeck. The Spacedeck is the sweet spot in the . . .	28
Amplifier Recommendation for B&W Nautilis 804 Jeff, You got tons of good feedback. I have owned N805's, currently own N804's and am familiar with two more systems with N804's and N803's. With N8XX speakers, wimpy amps need not. . .	28
Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade I considered the Pangea P100 power supply for my Cambridge 640P and am holding off. Looking at the wall wart that comes with the 640P, it is a 120vac to 12vac supply. Then, looking. . .	24
Damping fluid/grease for Mayware Unipivot? Andy, I had a Mayware back in the late 70's and as I recall, the supplied fluid was rather thick stuff. Much thicker than olive oil. In fact, you had to give it time to actually . . .	16
Buzzzzzing Transformers Tphaliaros, You said monoblocks. Both buzzing? If so, I don't know what the odds of both amps having a xformer failure at the same time are but I'll bet it's real low. I had the . . .	15
Booming bass from my B&W Nautilus Iujona, You don't say which model of Nautilus speaker unless you are one of the rare few that have "The" Nautilus speaker. I own N804's, I used to have N805's, A co-. . .	13
BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS Mandrake, I own B&W N805's and agree somewhat with others who have recommended this speaker. However, this speaker is very revealing of the electronics ahead of it. I am not . . .	13
Demagnatizing Phono Cartridges I have an interesting question. If the coil wire is, say, copper, how does it get magnetized? Same with silver. I thought these metals to be non-magnetic	12
HALCRO Amplifiers I heard a pair of Halcro amplifiers driving a pair of the new Quads at Hi-Fi Farm in Moneta, Va. I am an audiophile of 30+ years and I must say that the "system" was stunning in . . .	11
REGA 600 OR 900 I am familiar with both the RB600 and RB900 arms. Waynev, you do, in fact, have an RB900. Both are silver in color. The RB900 is unique in that it is the only Rega arm using the . . .	9
Review: PWX power supply for Black Cube I upgraded to the PWX on my year and a half old Cube. I found the bass to be firmer and deeper. I had always felt that my Glider was a bit thin in the upper bass. The PWX really . . .	6
ARC LS-15, thumbs up or down? You have noticed an improvement so far, therefore, I suspect you will ultimately be happy with your ARC. With my ARC I found the stock Sovtek tubes to be a bit bright and the bass . . .	6
Start Up Rattle on Rega P3 The other respondants are correct in that the "thunk" on start-up is normal. It is not, however, normal once the platter is up to speed. I agree with giving the platter a push as . . .	5
Building amps from kits In the 70's and 80's I built almost all of the Dynaco kits which at the time were probably the best available and could be modified to no end. I still have a Stereo 70 that I will . . .	3
Over-amplified bass from phono stage? Oh Boy, did we ever fight that problem back in the days before CD's! I'm not telling my age but my first "high end" turntable was a Garrard model 50 (yuck!). I think Steven has . . .	2
What is the difference the Mani 2 and Signatures I have had both in my system. I was interested in the Mani 2, however my local Totem dealer does not stock this model. They were kind enough to obtain, through their distributer, a. . .	1
