BUT if I can only bring one then i’m bringing ....Back at the chicken shack by The Incredible Jimmy Smith! or Billy Cobham... Spectrum, dam I cant decide!! ... | |
ADCOM HC/E II cartridge mothballed 25 years ago. ADCOM was never known for great sounding phono cartridges, thats not their forte'. Time to get a real cartridge for that DUAL :-) Ortofon, Grado, Audio Technica, come to my mind real quick. Matt M | |
Update needed The REGA Turntable can be elevated by upgrades through GROOVETRACER.com, highly recommended. The Dynavector 10X5 is a incredibly good sounding cartridge and new versions go for $750! The fact that you have this 10X5 mounted on a REGA tonearm shows... | |
How to choose a cartridge? I think its important to get a cartridge that works well with the tone arm it will be mounted to. What are people using with that arm?? This is a good place to start. Matt M | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear Go with the Senheisser's, they have been making mainly headphones for decades. Focal makes speakers...big expensive ones too. Matt M | |
Turn off or leave on? On once a day and off once a day is the best way to go over the long run. :-) Matt M | |

I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable "I'd never own another Music Hall. Poor quality and Roy is a jackass." I had to deal with Roy Hall back in 1999 when I owned some EPOS ES22 speakers your right he is a self absorbed meglomaniac! Matt M | |
I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Touche’! Audiotroy hit it right on the head. The Phono pre amp is the gateway to great vinyl sound. Based on your current set of components I would put money into a bettter cartridge (Dynavector 10X5) and phonostage (Musicial Surroundings Nova). U... | |
Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more... I think its horrible how this site censors the forums, we live in a country where FREE SPEECH is allowed! Who cares what people are talking about on the audio forum....really audiogon get over yourselves! Matt M | |
McIntosh MX model list I would give Audio Classics a call and speak with someone about the differences of the MX processor preamps as there are many. I do know the MX119 is old and uses composite cables unlike the newer models that utilize HDMI. Matt M | |
NAD 1700– which output to Connect Subwoofer Buy a REL and connect with Spkon cable direct to your amps outputs! Best way to hook a sub up anyway. Matt M | |
Power Conditioner question Ya if you want to throw a blanket over your whole system then go for it! And cables with boxes on them are not the final word in dynamics and detail. The day I switched from MIT’s to Nordost SPM my system went from speakers playing beautiful music... | |
Rate my system/advise I would change the Amp/amps to McIntosh or Audio Research for a big jump in sound quality. Love the Nordost. The NAD is holding this system back. Dump the Mac bridge McIntosh makes amplifiers, the rest is eye candy. Matt M |
