| Sorry - a couple more newbie analog questions Shasta - could you elaborate on the Fremer article? | |
| How hard should I be scrubbing my...... Hey guys! Thanks for all the input. I've switched back and forth over the last year of using the DD brushes with if I should apply a lot of pressure or not.I should have spelled out my cleaning ritual a little better I suppose. I've got a Nitty Gr... | |
| Sorry - a couple more newbie analog questions I wouldn't try switching LP's without turning the motor off with the Herbie's mat in place. One thing you can do to really help out the motor and, especially, the belt life is give the platter a light spin with your finger before turning the motor... | |
| Sorry - a couple more newbie analog questions First of all - there are no stupid questions, only stupid people. I can safely say you don't fall into the latter category by the simple fact that you've taken the plunge into vinyl!That being said, if your turntable doesn't have a "sticky" mat ma... | |
| What amp/preamp/integrated to use w/ USHER X-719 Dan - If you can spend a little more ($800 - $850) pick up a Musical Fidelity A300 integrated. It's fantastic with the type of music you listen to. | |
| Phono Input on A300 overload? Went straight to the source - emailed Musical Fidelity and surprisingly got a very fast response:"the overload margin on your A300 phono input will cope with the hi output of the rega cartridge without a problem. regards musical fidelity service."... | |
| Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions? Okay - I've got a new problem! I'm fairly certain that the Exact is overloading the phono stage in my A300. The Exact puts out 6.4 - 7.2mv which is insanely high and the phono stage is rated at 3.5 although they don't state the overload point.On s... | |
| Should the platter and plinth be level? Sidssp - this is the most logical response I've gotten yet. So I should just get the plinth (and hence the armboard since it's bolted directly to the plinth) level and not worry about it. It's pretty much sitting at a happy medium between the two ... | |
| Anyone using Von Schweikert's w/ Musical Fidelity? I've been playing the VR-1's pretty much non-stop over the weekend and I've got to say that I just couldn't be any happier with this setup. Playing anything off my Rega P5/Rega Exact combo is a joy.I'm in total agreement with Teeshot, the bass is ... | |
| Speakers For Rock Get the VR-4's. Seriously - I'm using the VR-1's and play almost nothing but heavy classic rock. The results are absolutely amazing! I really can't believe the power and size these small speakers are able to produce and they're NOTHING compared to... | |
| Should the platter and plinth be level? Okay - the more I'm thinking about this, the less this is making sense. Adjusting the pitch of the platter by changing the base that it's sitting on isn't going to do anything.The ONLY element I have control over here is plinth. No matter how I ad... | |
| Should the platter and plinth be level? Thanks everyone - glad to know it's not just mine and I'll re-adjust so the platter is level. | |
| Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions? Well - I ended up trying out a Goldring 1042 and a Rega Exact. I can honestly say that I much prefer the Rega Exact. Maybe it's just my system, but it sounds great through the P5, Musical Fidelity A300, and the Von Schwiekert VR-1's! I couldn't be... | |
| Good sound possible on a bookshelf? I own a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1's that I have on stands but have read that they perform well on a bookshelf as well. You can get some additional information from their website at the Von Schweikert site.I've also owned the Polks you mentioned ... | |
| $1100 to spend used -integrated or separates? Sorry - I didn't completely answer your question. In my (admitedly limited) experience, the quality of many integrateds today preclude the necessity of separates. When I began auditioning equipment for my last upgrade, it became very clear to me t... |
