| Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i) @johnto I have looked at some Parasound gear which seems reasonably priced. Any particular Parasound Integrated you would recommend?@mcreyn I have always admired the Bryston warranty. I think it says it all. I've heard they are very neutral and... | |

| Vinyl/TT Gurus Chime in! Cartridge Decision: Rework My old Sumiko or get a new cartridge? Nice One Frogman!!!! My point exactly!! | |
| Vinyl/TT Gurus Chime in! Cartridge Decision: Rework My old Sumiko or get a new cartridge? Thanks to one and all. I truly appreciate your feedback. I've decided to retip/rebuild the cart with Soundsmith. Just one thing I've noted as a general trend in responses to this and many other threads here on this forum(and others): There are man... | |
| Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's Yeah yeah .. clarity, lack of surface noise,... all that... vinyl on a decent rig offers something different.

| Vinyl/TT Gurus Chime in! Cartridge Decision: Rework My old Sumiko or get a new cartridge? Thanks for the feedback @viridian!!! I think the cart was probably shot when I purchased it so I don't really know what it is capable of. | |

| Is there such a thing??-- Tube Preamp Question Thanks all for your feedback. Removing the tv removed the problem. I also am using the low gain setting on all the speakers except the Maggie’s. Cleaned the tube sockets and tube pins as well as everything in the preamp with deoxit. It’s dead quit... | |
| Is there such a thing??-- Tube Preamp Question Thanks Newbee and All. The preamp has a handy dandy gain switch which can be accessed from inside the cover. I have played with this and swapped in a range of speakers. My OB Spatial holograms certainly do magnify the problem as they are higher ef... | |
| turntable choice My first TT was the Project Debut Carbon. I disagree with holomech about build quality of the uturn vs project. The debut carbon is a simple and good sounding entry . No fuss no muss. Comes w a ortofon red which, for the money, is a solid cart. | |
| Small Floorstander? They might be a little heavy for your requirements and they are certainly unique looking (some hate the ultra modern spaceship look) but a pair of used Gallo 3.1's or 3.5's. I think they weigh in at about 55-65lbs, but are small and I have little ... | |

| Do you have a defining musical moment from your early years? I have two:1. The first time I heard a Charley Parker song at age 10. I asked to be in the band and rent a saxophone.2. School field trip to see a small symphony. As I sat in the audience i remember a strange sensation of excitement and satisfacti... |
