| MC Phono Preamp To be honest your not going to find much at your budget. I would say save a bit more up and look at the $500 price range as a target for starting to find a good sounding phono stage. That said I can recommend the ifi Iphono 2 ( or 1) as a great en... | |
| Best tube dampers that you have used Try going to the local O-ring industrial supply shop and buy some high temp silicon O-rings (usually white) you can get various sizes but taking a simple ruler and measuring the aprox diameter of the tube is all you need you can get various thickn... | |
| To active speaker or not.. this is the question I'm potentially moving into a Tinny Home so think 7.5"-8" wide X 10" long ,but open behind, listening room so yeah smaller then a hotel room. | |
| Rush/Stevie Wonder remasters vs. 24 Karat Audio Fidelity releases... not sure about the SW, but I have heard some of the new releases by Rush (mostly on vinyl) and they are quite nicely done. I got all the Rush releases from Rush's web sight. | |
| What speakers work well against a wall AudioNote UK AN speaker line are all designed to work against the wall or better yet in the corner. Very nice speakers and hold their value. | |
| To active speaker or not.. this is the question I'm not overly worried about the vibrations in a speaker and the associated amps with in or on the back. I'm not the type of audiophile that stresses about the small stuff as I prefer to listen to music then stress about the gross effects of vibra... | |

| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT Have you thought about going the Garrard 301-401 / Thorns rim drive tables and get a custom plinth made and arm installed. I did this a couple years ago went from an oracle delphi mk4 to a Garrard 301 set up and never been happier. there is much r... | |
| Anthem getting into two channel with new STR pre-amp-- anyone heard it? Why does everyone get upset when a dealer who 1. state who they are and 2. seem to honestly want to help posts here. Why get upset you know they are a dealer so filter out the sales talk and use the information they are giving if it helps. Don't ... | |
| To active speaker or not.. this is the question ATC, PMC and Dynaudio is worth looking at if not expensive here in NA mind you the UK pound is quite deflated right now. I do head PMC is a bit dry and analytical sounding though. Wonder if there is anything else to look at closer to ? | |
| Have cartridges been known to fail (Grado)? Highly unlikely both carts would fail, check the rest of your chain and do the above and check with a multi-meter the continuity of the coils in the carts. that said the coil wire is very small think smaller then a hair, so if not stored in a clea... | |
| Nbr and size of speakers for a large conference room one suggestion would be to make the height of the speakers higher then the front row persons, as to not blow them away but project over them to the back. rest seems ok just set up early and try it and move speakers etc if required. | |
| Newbie question. ok then just plug the DAC/iphone into your Arc Pre and be done with it. Why go through the Sony if you have the Arc Pre go through the Arc as with the other inputs. Just note you will not get all the advantages of the Flac files but it will, even ... | |
| Marantz SR6006 - Marantz title banner is stuck try unplugging it from the wall to reboot the computer in your TV turning it off with the remote doesn't actually turn it off. | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? +Atmaspere . Try a Tube Pre. Tubes in Pre-amps last years if not decades, also most pre-amp tubes are relatively inexpensive (compared to power tubes) so tube rolling is not an expense you need to worry about too much in a Pre-Amp. Tube Pre to S... |
