| Harmony Remote Control I have a Harmony 880 which I use for the audio system and a Harmony 1000 for the home theater. I am mostly satisfied; I do prefer real buttons to the touchscreen but I can use the touchscreen without turning up the lights and finding my glasses! I... | |
| McIntosh MX-130 MX130 Pro Logic only for ambience? Happy with this unit. Note that there are apparently several versions on the market; some have balanced connections but mine does not. The video switching capabilities are obsolete now (2011, no HDMI or component video) but it has great functional... | |
| McIntosh MX-130 MX130 Pro Logic only for ambience? FWIW if you are in Louisville Kentucky there is somebody selling one of these on Craigslist. He won't ship it and got it from a storage locker. Wish I could snag it but I'm not there! I'll post how mine works out; I expect to buy the MX today. | |
| McIntosh MX-130 MX130 Pro Logic only for ambience? Thanks all. Dynaquad sent the Left-Right difference signal to the left rear speaker and the Right-Left signal to the right rear speaker. It was all done at the speaker level with no delay. Since reflected sound in a concert hall is delayed, adding... | |
| McIntosh MX-130 MX130 Pro Logic only for ambience? Found the manual online at:http://akdatabase.org/AKview/albums/userpics/10004/MX130%20Owners.pdf | |
| Shure Dynamic Stabilizer on/off experimentation The cartridge is now installed in an SME 3009 Series 3 tonearm, very low mass with fluid damping and the Dynamic Stabilizer up (not in use). I used the Shure test record and could not observe any visible tonearm/cartridge resonance from 6 to 11 Hz... | |
| Behringer Crossover for Maggies vs Bryston I have MG3A speakers; I am using 2 Bryston 10B sub crossovers and VMPS larger subwoofers (triamplified system). Biamping the MG3A speakers is the single biggest improvement I have made in more than 15 years of owning the Magnepans. The Bryston cro... | |
| Stanton LZS cartridge replacement stylii Storyboy: Thanks for your inputs, sorry for the slow response. I got an email from kabusa.com saying they had some OEM styli for this cartridge. I have not dealt with that company but their turntable mods got a good writeup in "The Sensible Sound"... | |
| SME III help needed Crockusbird: The SME manual detailing the differences is at:http://www.analogue-classics.com/html/sme_3009___3012.htmlThis is an excellent site with a handy tonearm-cartridge matching graph. Have fun with your Series III. I went out and listened t... | |
| Shure Dynamic Stabilizer on/off experimentation All:Thanks very much for your responses. It is clear from your experiences I should try for myself running with the stabilizer up. I have the Shure test record which includes tracks for measuring tonearm resonance and a meter which I can use to co... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? Lewm:Thanks for your response and for bringing Fremer's measurements to my attention. It sounds like Mr. Fremer is on the right track.Whatever its failings, Stereo Review did use a consistent methodology of testing turntables. They had a vibrating... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? Thanks to all for your interest. I have not tried the experiment, I was hoping someone else would. I see lots of posts of people complaining about footsteps bouncing their turntables or feedback from woofers. Perhaps one of those unfortunate souls... | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? Thanks to all for your participation. According to two different sources on the web, the leg bolts on the SOTA are 5/16-18. Mine is still in the shop but I will verify it when I get it back. Regards, hifigeezer | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? When in doubt, read the instructions! I found it in the manual, the factory supplied weight is 2 pounds 14.5 ounces. Thanks all. | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? Thanks all, especially for the generous offer of the manual. I do have the manual but it does not specify how much lead comes from the factory; it does cover the procedure. Thanks also for your input on the spikes, that seems quite logical. The fo... |
