| Tyler Acoustics Speakers with the Best Weight Hi b_limo,I am thinking like $4-5 grand used.Can be a monitor or floor stander as long as it can be powered with a 50 WPC tube amp. I think I am done with behemoths that require 300 wpc amp. I do like the MM5X's but want a more solid, weighty bass... | |

| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 ihcho, Sorry, typo, I meant AT150mlx.I have played with the Jolida voltage gain and impedance switches but maybe I have missed a good combination. It just keeps coming up a bit thin and well....shrill.So maybe the cartridge has deteriorated over t... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 FWIW, I realigned my moving coil AT150 MLA and I got the balance right but it is definitely harsh in the treble. I think I am done fussing with it.atmasphere, it was good to see your comment about the Grado Gold as it is on my short list of lighte... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 If you're listening to new music produced/mastered digitally then you don't need vinyl at all. If you're listening to original records produced? mastered and pressed in analog era then you don't need digital at all. I get it and agree. Too many... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 ihico wrote " I have AT150mlx with..." I am using an AT150mlx that is probably too heavy for the light weight Technics tonearm. It might have 100 hours on it from about five years ago. I suspect that I have to do a better job of aligning it as ... | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice luisma31, Maybe I need to get a couple of tube amps as it is turning to winter in the Indianapolis area! Changing the interconnects certainly helped with the sibilance. I also took out my AT cartridge and inserted an Ortofon Pro S40, which is su... | |

| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice What you will/may notice when a tube amp is driving a speaker with low impedance dips is an uneven frequency response, e.g. the speakers may sound "bright". I read this comment again and realize I probably ignored the the second part of the com... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 Hi, FWIW, I got the Technics SL1200 Mk 5 back from KABUSA with the tone arm wire and interconnects rewired.The sound is much improved, and well worth the $250, because it is much more smooth and there is less treble harshness.Having said that, ... | |
