| adcom vs parasound dilema The HCA-1500a is a nice amp for the money. It's significantly better than the HCA-1201 and the Adcoms you mention. To my ears, in my system, it compared favorably with a McCormack DNA-1. It has great control over the bass and isn't as harsh on the... | |

| Which cartridge best for RB300 Rotur, you might get more responses if you accurately name the cartridge you have. Looking through your forums, I see you have a Dyna XX which is highly regarded. What are you unhappy about? You say it's giving you what you want: "a bright upfront... | |
| mundorf supreme caps vs m caps Chrissain, why did you use 2.2 uF when upgrading your caps? The original value was 2.7. This is likely the source of your problem. I suggest adding .5 uF in parallel with the 2.2 or completely replacing with 2.7. | |

It seemed hotter despite a lower watt rating. If you plan to do more projects, get a better soldering iron. You'll sav... | |
| Unipivot and suspended TT? Many thanks for your responses. It sounds like the Hadcock is worth a try. Richard, your VPI is so stiff I forget that it's suspended. The Delphi has a much greater range of motion. It's almost bouncy. I just ordered the maintenance kit from Oracl... | |

| Switching to analog...AND building a pre-amp? I can't praise Bottlehead kits enough. Not only are they educational and fun to build, they sound fantastic! | |
| What is my power conditioner up to? I noticed a similar effect when my amps were plugged into a Quintet. There was a muted/compressed quality to the sound that didn't exist when plugged directly into the wall. From what I understand, all amps have built-in power filters. The better ... | |
