| My Dynavector 10 X 5 Stylus fell off now what? I would look for a used replacement. You should be able to find one at a reasonable price. I've heard that DV does have issues with the stylus. I have the same cartridge but haven't experienced any quality issues yet. Although, last night, I thoug... | |
| Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level? Thanks for the comments. I have a pair of speaker stands in the closet which I can immediately put to use. Also have some granite tiles that I can use as a buffer surface between the stands and speakers. I'll give it a try and see what happens. If... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Okay. So, tonight it's all about Ballast Point IPA and the Moody Blues. I'm playing the two album set entitled "This is the Moody Blues". Perfect speed and content. Righteous. | |
| Nola Boxer Do you have a budget for this item? Do you prefer tubes or solid state equipment? Do you plan to keep the integrated for a short time or longer than two years? | |
| $10 vs $100 power plug Obviously, people think it makes a difference. Otherwise, why would so many businesses dedicated to custom power cord development and distribution be so successful? We can't all be wrong on this. I agree with Horchai. Your equipment configuration ... | |
| Tube rolling I bought the Manley Chinook almost one year ago. I replaced all of the stock tubes with NOS Siemens Halske from Vintage Tube Services. The sound was much improved and I haven't had any issues with the device. I really like the unit a lot. I did co... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions Clearaudio makes some excellent phonostages in your price range. I used to own the Smart Phono which was around $600. This phonostage offers both MM and MC capabilities, with enough gain to drive the lowest output cartridges. It is a very simple u... | |
| What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps My vote for new brand would Mystere. I have a Mystere CA11 tube preamp. Couldn't be happier. I traded in my Primaluna preamp for the Mystere. Very nice tube preamp. I highly recommend Mystere to those individuals looking for quality sound, robust ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just received "Can't Buy a Thrill" by Steely Dan. Ordered the 180g LP from Soundstagedirect.com. On my turntable tonight. If you're a Steely Dan fan, then this album is a must purchase. The quality of the recording is excellent and I received it v... | |

| Does it matter which component I power up first? Power up/down sequence is VERY important. To power up, I turn on the Manley Chinook phono stage first, followed by the Mystere CA11 tube preamp, Rega Planar 25 turntable, followed by the CODA 10.5r solid state amplifier. To power down, reverse the... | |
| Totem Owners.... I own a pair of three-year old Totem Sttafs and I really like them. I play a variety of music, at varying volume levels, and have never found them wanting or fatiguing. The bass response from the woofers, for their size, is amazing. I run the spea... | |
