| Cartridge for VPI TT with JMW 9 tonearm The Denon and the AT are the best choices here! I am a longtime user of Denon MC cartridges. I presently have a 103R mounted on a Pioneer PLX1000 TT. Sounds excellent! Also have a 103/Grace 707 arm on an Ariston RDIIS TT. Again, excellent SQ! In g... | |
| recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp +1 tgrisham and raysmtb1! Sane and levelheaded advice! I have reached the same conclusion that all wire sounds the same! If it passes a signal it is fine, regardless of price! | |
| Crossover change Adding a sub or two (active or passive) through the Marchand x-over will improve the overall bass response and lower the distortion levels in the bass and mids of the Cornwall's. | |
| Crossover change Without a subwoofer or two an active crossover like the Marchand is USELESS! I owned and used an active x-over years ago! The biggest improvement was an increase in headroom/dynamic range - much less amplifier clipping! | |
| Crossover change Do you actually know how to connect an active crossover? Your preamp's main output goes to the x-over's inputs (left and right). Then the x-over's high pass outputs go to your amp's L/R inputs. The x-over's low pass outputs go to the L/R inputs on... | |
| Crossover change What main speakers do you have? And what subwoofers are you planning on using? Otherwise buying the Marchand is a waste of money! | |
| Crossover change The Marchand x-over is only for use with a sub. It will drive your main speakers from 100hz up through its high pass section via your amp. The x-over's low pass section will drive an active sub or an amp/passive sub. | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume The Schiit Mani ($129) might be a better sounding phono stage than the Rega. | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume +1 cleeds! Well stated! | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume Ditto to adding an outboard DAC! Why bother because it will still have a different voltage output compared to streaming. The DAC in the M10 is excellent and adding a new DAC is a sideways move at best - and a waste of money! | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume You hear a difference between phono and streaming because they have different output levels. I hear the same difference in volume when I switch between phono and tuner and CD on my preamp. Different sources most often have different output voltage... | |
| Any other Agon Love for UFO? UFO, along with Budgie, are now sadly neglected as the musical tastes of today's youth shifted to rap and hip hop. Both bands still remain outstanding examples of guitar-driven hard rock! | |

| Inexpensive all in one options Yamaha A-S801 integrated amp with DAC. Available used on eBay for between $800 - $900. | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? John Atkinson of Stereophile does the best quantitative testing of speakers! Unlike electronics speakers have not evolved to the point where they can hide their flaws from careful measurements! |
