| McIntosh MC302 I had a MC252 and was looking to upgrade to a newer model. I almost went with the MC302 due to size to fit in my cabinet. After listening to the MC302 and MC452 I went with the higher-powered MC452. I was able to fit in my cabinet after removing t... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors I use a pair of Auditor Ms with a REL B2 with great success in a room 12' X 18' X 8'. Prior to the SF I had Dynaudio 52SE - a very fine speaker for the $$. Dynaudio makes fabulous speakers along with SF. I prefer the visual presentation of the SF.... | |
| Your favourite cartridge I second the Lyra Delos - a fine specimen of engineering design. The retail price of $1500 is the highest I have paid for a cartridge to date. | |
| Dynavector 20x2 High or Low Output? I sold my lightly used (<100 hrs) DV20XH for $400 recently. | |
| Which cartridge for Graham Slee Era Gold V? When ihad my Graham Slee I used a DV20XH with it and the pairing was very good. Also used a Rega Exact with same results. Most HO MC cartridges will woork fine with the GC Era Gold. | |
| Dynavector 20XH W/ Rega P5- Less Bass Than 10X5? When I had my DV20X on my P7 I had to get the Rega heavyweight (130g vs 100g standard wt.) and used 2 2mm spacers. My dealer set it up. Needed the heavyweight due to the heavier cartridge. | |
| Experiences with McIntosh MEN220 Room Correction? Take a look on Audio Afficionado under the McIntosh folder - some discussions there about the MEN220. | |
| Tube pre-amp upgrade from Mcintosh C2300 Tube rolling - let me save you some time. For the C2300 get some Psvane Treasures from Grant Fidleity (Ian Grant) OR some Gold Lion reissues (Jim McShane). I must have tried 10 different sets of tubes (Amperex, Mullard, Telefunken, Mazda, Sovtek, ... | |
| Correct amp for Dynaudio Audience 42? With my then Audience 52SE I used Rotel electronics (RC1082 & RB1092)and these little bookshelves really belted out the tunes. I had them stand mounted which I really recommned for your 42s. If you go this route mass load (ad sand/lead shot to... | |
| Lyra Dorian load I run my Lyra Delos @ 200 ohm - really could not tell a differnce between 100 ohm and 200 ohm. Most Lyra cartridges come with instructions onhow to claculate the load based upon arm capacitance and ICs. | |
| Turntable leveling... I will first get the cabinet level and then level the TT. It is a shame that Rega does not allow the feet to be adjustable. I tried spikes on my platform intially but the table would pick up noise from my cabionet when I touched the drawers or doo... | |
| New Lyra Delos wheres the bass? I am quite happy withthe bass on my Delos. using with a rega P9 and McIntosh C2300 tube preamp onboard phono stage. Loading right now is at 200 ohms. I have baout 30 hrs on the cartridge. This replaced a Dynavector DV20X H. | |
| mcintosh c-2300 vs mcintosh c500 phono section I do not have first hand knowledge but have read that both phono stages sound the same. The audible difference happens when you step up to the 1000T | |
| Sonus Faber Auditors as mains in HT I use the Auditor Ms in a 12' x 17' room and they more than fill the room with sound. The Cremona Ms would have bee too much speaker for my size of room. |
