| Rega Mira 3 vs Brio 3 I've heard the Mira 2 and Brio 3. Even though the specs don't scream out major differences, the Mira has noticeably more grunt, which translates to a greater sense of ease, as well as more resolution. That, combined with the remote control and som... | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 01-10-09: BobgatesEkobesky - just wanted to let you know that I did bump the tracking force up to 1.6 grams and then 1.7grams; it does sound even better now. Now I'm wondering where I can find a blank album so I can accurately set the antiskate? T... | |
| Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301 There's no such thing as one correct alignment. Different methods yield different results but none are perfect. My guess is that those who have it flush with the headshell used a two-point gauge and not Rega's single-point gauge.As far as tracking... | |
| HELP I need help finding a pair of headphones If you plan on driving them directly from your iPod -- without a seperate headphone amp -- then your options are limited. Grado SR60 is one of the few audiophile headphones that can do the job, and do it well. You could also buy the SR80 or SR125 ... | |
| can an arm be replaced for a denon TT Because parts are so scarce, it would probably be worth your while to sell it on eBay. Even though the arm is faulty the cabinet, headshell, counterweight, platter, motor, etc would probably amount to some decent money. It would be a shame to thro... | |
| Need help - using Panasonic BD30 as transport Regarding the first point, I can't play, for example track 9 by pressing 9 on the remote (projector screen turned off). I have to press the chapter forward button nine times to get there, very irritating.That's unusual. The only thing I can think ... | |
| can an arm be replaced for a denon TT Parts are scarce for those units. Because the DP-45F has the complex servo arm, you would need to be experienced to replace the arm, which is a one piece unit and would probably cost an arm and a leg if -- big IF -- you can locate one. Rewiring th... | |
| Need help - using Panasonic BD30 as transport Well, you and I are in the same boat. I've been using a Sony BDP-S300 Blu_Ray player as a transport for my headphone system because I want as few components in my living room as possible. The Sony is hardly the most efficient transport. Regarding ... | |
| Review: Mystere ia21 Tube amp Nice review. I've always been a big fan of PrimaLuna products so I've been very curious to hear what people think of this new line. | |
| Need some advising I definitely like Stanwal's suggestion about a restored classic tube amp or receiver from Mapleshade. | |
| Need some advising Maybe a nice old Marantz receiver from the 1970s? Great build quality, warm sound, and under $200 used for the less desirable models with 15 or 20 wpc. The Klipsch Chorus 2 wasn't a really detail freak's speaker, so you don't really need an ultra ... | |
| Need some advising I agree with Wireless200. Klipsch horn speakers can sound bright and overly lean with the wrong amplification, and something like the Creek would be one of my last suggestions. Tubes would be the way to go and there are plenty of options, vintage ... | |
| Keep dac or not? These days, a good single box player can pretty handily beat up on a lower- to mid-end transport/DAC. A Rega Apollo will be a significant upgrade at a very reasonable price, especially if you can find a used or demo unit for $600 or so.On the othe... | |
| Nakamichi MB-2 CD tray sticks when opening In general, there are a few cheap fixes you can try.The grease applied at the factory sometimes dries up or clots, so clean off all the old grease on the tracks and reapply some new stuff. Also, the belt often wears and that can usually be replace... | |
| Best finds at garage sale or similar establishment I scored a Linn Axis with Akito tonearm for something like $100 once. |
