| Best amp for Vandersteen Quattro? Give Richard a call and find out what he recommends. I'm sure he has something to say. More than likely he voiced them using a particular amp. (559) 582-0324 | |

| Slate vs Granite vs Maple? One of the most impressive TT isolation boxes I've seen is Charlieboy's:The box is made of solid maple pieces. Maple is very good for vibration control. The box is 2 inches thick. It measures 6" tall x 24" deep x by 32" wide. The box is screwed to... | |
| ASL MG-SPM6? I don't see the MG-SPM6 under ASL's product page. My guess is that the SPM6 is a 6 watt version of MG-SPM8. You might want to email Divergent Technologies to get a spec sheet. divergent@divertech.com | |
| Advice sought (Garrard Zero 100) It's important to match your amp with your speakers. What will you be using? | |
| different speakers When I was searching for speakers a few years ago, I listened to the 3A and the 2Ce Sig many times. Both were powered by tubes. Both came off well balanced and pleasant. But in the end, they were too laid back for my tastes. I felt they were on th... | |
| Hagerman Cornet? Thanks Bob. I found a bunch of great info at Audio Asylum and decided to buy the half kit. There's a lot of interesting advice in terms of tweaks and upgrades. I'm looking forward to building it! | |
| Musical Fidelity XLPS What cartridge would work? Did you pick up a cartridge? If so, what did you get? | |
| Re: phono stage on integrated By doing that you're going to send the phono signal through two line stages. It shouldn't cause any problems for either piece of equipment, but you're going to get better sound with a dedicated phono stage connected directly to the Audiomat. Why d... | |
| different speakers alons have bass but not midrange don;t know what to doI've never heard anyone say Alon's don't have midrange. What does the rest of your system look like? In particular, what amp are you using? | |
| Hagerman Cornet? Thanks Jim. I appreciate the clarification. Are there any Cornet owners out there that can comment on performance? | |

| Do I really want the musicians in my room? When I bring musicians into my room they tend to drink all my beer and keep me up all night. I had to learn the hard way, but now I just keep them in the room where the recording was made. That way I get a better night's sleep and spend less on beer. | |
| Power cable for McCormack DNA-1 Mine came with 14 awg cables, but gauge isn't the be-all end-all spec for PCs. The type of wire used and how it's twisted has more bearing on the end result than gauge alone. However, if you're making your own cable, I'd say 10 awg should be the m... | |
| Intergrated amp for Totem Sttaf Have you considered a tube integrated? I've heard the Sttaf driven by solid state and thought they were very nice, but I bet tubes will really bring them to life. At 88 dB efficiency, the Sttaf should be fine with 50-60 watts. There's an upgraded ... |
