| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs I have TSM-Mmi powered by a Manley Stingray II in a large, very reflective room with no treatments. The set-up is further compromised by having the TSM in a large wall unit--solid birch and open-backed, but still way suboptimal. Nonetheless, they ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Analog bloodsport in the ego coliseum. So thrilling. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I'll echo Peter's point. I recently added Minus-K platforms beneath my medium-mass Clearaudio (60 lbs) and high-mass Lenco (115 lbs). The improvement was remarkable in both cases, not merely in focus and microdynamics, which I expected, but in bas... | |
| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? FWIW, I talked to my Ortofon dealer yesterday about the life of the A90. The "official" position appears to be: sonics will begin to change on the Relicant 100 at around 1,000 hours because of "changes in the molecular structure of the diamond" (w... | |
| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? Downunder, thanks for the good info. My A90, too, is getting a little long in the tooth--or maybe short in the tooth is the better metaphor, since we're talking about wear on the tip. I'm curious, how did you determine yours was finished, by sonic... | |
| Phono Preamp as Control Center The Steelhead is two boxes, FWIW, because of its external power supply. | |

| Best speaker for Manley itube Stingray? What Muzikat said. | |
| Raven AC3 Anyone else feel that a dealer should not be trying to sell his own TT's in a thread about a TT he doesn't carry? Seems very rude to me.I agree. It's obnoxious. | |
| Vinyl reissue labels to avoid? I am consistently impressed by the OJC vinyl.I agree! Many of the earlier pressings sound terrific. | |
| Micro Seiki RX-5000 - All Switchable 110v & 220v? It figures.... Out of my range anyway but it's nice to dream...:) | |
| Micro Seiki RX-5000 - All Switchable 110v & 220v? To further complicate the matter, there's a sweet one at Top Class right now that specs AC-100v 50/60Hz. Anyone know whether it could be used in the US without a transformer?Thanks. | |
| Tonearms for Clearaudio Master Solution type TNTs Clearaudio's Universal arm with the optional VTA collar is a good match for my Innovation Wood, as is the Phantom II. | |
| McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation Luckily, you have the flaming sword of a BSEE to cut through illusion, rendering power cords powerless to deceive you. | |
| TSM MMii..........amp pairing?? In a large room, I use a Manley Stingray II in ultralinear mode, augmenting the bass with a Von Schweikert 12-inch sealed sub. It's a very satisfying combo. |
