20 to 40 hz reproduction can make all the difference in the world if you have Telarc, Reference Recording and Sheffield LP's and CD's. Just ask my XRT 28's. Some of my music fidelity LPs and CD's have quite a bit of energy below 50 HZ extending into the 20's. Then their are my own recordings...

Having owned a C29 for almost 30 years as replacement for a C-28 I am very familiar with the unit. My only issue with was the steps of the tone controls were to big at 3 to 4 db each steps and I wanted a midrange control. I know the pre-amp has a very clean and clear phono stage where my C-34...

I was given a HO 10 X 4 when I broke the last CS 1000 cantilever for 881S Stanton in 2008. I tried it for a while and then I bought a 20 x HO. Which is now my spare. Some where in their I had a 10 X5 HO and I really enjoyed the sound it made, but the 20 series with the fine line profile...

Who ever told you Crown amps don't color the sound was very ill informed. I know I owned different models for close to 16 years. I installed different models from the DC-300 A and all models through the late 90's. Yes Crown had a sound that could be very good until Harmon bought them and they...

This is one of my ramblings. So be fore warned! The more I thought about this question I realized I left out a few thoughts previously. We should all know depending on the source impedance of the amplifier the load can modify the signal it generates. If the amp has a high damping factor...

If it were the old days I would recommend an Ortofon SPU GT or a SPE GT. But today I will say I Iike the Denon 110 series moving coils. I don't know about the reissue SPU cartridges personnally. Though I have heard good things about them from reviewers and dealers I have known for a long...

Well there are two, neither of which I can afford. Sl 1000 Mk III by Technics and a Series 30 SME TT with a 10 inch MK V arm. Of course if I won the lottery I would add the series 60 to the list. But as I have space limitations I am going to Audition a Technics SL 1200 G, I have all...

I think we sold two for use by ML-4 owners. But I installed quite a few for disco and large commercial systems. I only had one fail due to a filthy environment in an old disco in Old Mexico. It had over an inch of dust and fuzzies covering the insides. I blew out and vacumed the poor...

Well the C-40 has more micro relays for switching function and there fore is quiter and less susceptable noise creeping in when pushing buttons or using the input, record, or mode selector switches, It also has more advanced solid state components. I would have instantly have a C-40 if I...

I usually pick Belden. They have low capacitance cables and lower which cost a bit more. They have flexible cables, foil and braided wrapped cables with solid conductor and stranded conductors. There are a lot of choices. Because everything I have has a low impedance out put I use Rg...

Buy two for up front and make yours your ambient speaker for the rear. Feed the rear amp an isolated L-R signal to get the ambient sound for the rear channel. I use to use an Altec or Ampex center tapped line level transformer to create the ambient signal for rear speaker either pointed...

I have a Mcintosh power strip that plugs into the wall receptacle with a secondary cord that plugs into the preamp. When the C-34 is turned on a small amount of power turns on the AC strip which at one time powered my stereo amps. Now days there is a small DC power supply that plugs into the...

Another answer should be the Mcintosh amp or amps you currently own that make you love your system even more. Thats what I say about my 207's and 830's. Oh! I can't for get my 2505.

No the MC 3500 MK I and the original MC 275 from the 60's. MC 7300 is popular, too. Some love the 2105 and 2505. I still have my 2505, but the 2100's are long gone. 2105's with out meters.

Rabco Sl-8E. My low out put MC cartridge is picking up the horizontal motor noise as it intermittently powers the arm across the record. The vertical motor makes no noise at all. Getting a new TT belt solved the TT motor noise issue. So Its just the arm now.
