Micro Acoustics vs Grace F-9 MM's
Just mounted and aligned the F9-E last night...really nice cart for sure.Hey, Siniy123, interested in selling the MA630?? 
Anyone ever seen a Krell KSA 150 with black face?
You probably bought mine! who knows. 
Anyone ever seen a Krell KSA 150 with black face?
Yes, I owned an all Black KSA 150 a few years back. It was very striking looking compared to the usual Gray face/ black top/heat-sink amp. I sold it only to go to tubes. 
Micro Acoustics vs Grace F-9 MM's
Many thanks guys for posting the info...Raul,Thank you Sir... I read your assessment of the various MC and MM's you've listened to in different arms. Very well done. It gives a more fair telling of their virtues that way indeed.Mofi- I have a F9E ... 
B&W Speakers
A good friend has B&W N803's in an 11x14.5 room similar to yours. His are about 2 ft from the front wall and about 6 1/2 ft a part. Things were not sounding so good till he spent about 3K in room treatments. At this point now its one of the be... 
Rega Rb-250
Just a quick F/U as the Benz is mounted on the Rb-250. I didnt need the heavyweight or the Extended Nut at all. I needed the 2mm spacer to set proper VTA for the Benz. The 4mm was way too much. 
Rega Rb-250
Thanks guys...Ive talked to a few experienced Rega guys who tell me that I wont actually need the heavy weight. The RB-250 can handle 11g. The Benz (8.8g) with mounting hardware will put the weight at roughly 9.3g, thus Im told all will be good wi... 
Rega Rb-250
The question is...do I need a heavier weight for the Benz...thanks. 
Clearaudio Maestro or Shelter 501
So, you already have the Maestro?? and what about your phono stage?? Will that drive the Shelter if you go that way?I've owned both carts and feel they both offer a lot of performance at their prices. Your table/arm would be good for either.Taking... 
Clearaudio Maestro or Shelter 501
What table and arm combo are we talking about? 
Replacing Totems One's
Harbeth P3ES speakers come to mind. Small, decent bass and close box design (not ported) which means better close to wall placement. Imaging champs too. Less Forward then the Totem One's...which may suit your tastes..although some do prefer that u... 
Audible Illusion L1 / M3A, which tubes ?
It really comes down to the fact that this pre amp requires a voltage at the tube plate that most NOS or common 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 types cannot handle.Many fine NOS types or current 6922 typically have plate voltage ratings of anywhere from 95 or 11... 
Why do Audiophiles feel the need...
I'll second that Bravo!! 
What is best VTA for Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge?
Even under the best conditions and proper set up, If you have the wood version of the Maestro, you have a cart weight of 7g, which is not a good match for a unipiv. VPI JMW 9 or 10/10.5 arm. Also consider that it's of low/medium compliance, which ...
