    jlovda does superb work on McIntosh

    I recently hired jlovda to recap and update my McIntosh C33 preamp, which is a complex beast with all kinds of boards and subsystems. John did a beautiful job both visually (clean work) and aurally — the preamp is now even more quiet, transparent, reliable in every way. John also worked...

    CR-840 — don't always assume the worst

    I've got a CR-840 as the anchor of my office system. It plays music softly most days, once in a while gets to play at medium volume, and it never gets cranked. This Yamaha is a beautiful machine that has worked at nearly 100% for many years (only flaw is that the Low Filter switch won't stay in...

    needlestein is sharp!

    I sent him a broken Shure N97HE stylus for retipping, so I could retain the original Shure look and the good integrated brush. I got it back quickly with the diamond and cantilever I ordered (a high-quality elliptical). I'm listening to it now, very happily. So I'm reporting that needlestein...

    Stereo and 5.1 system: McIntosh, Vandersteen, Oppo...

    Ever since I was a teenager I've had some form of stereo system in my living space. Like many of us, I've tried many iterations of equipment — so I'm happy to say that my current systems are the most musically satisfying I've ever had. Within the last decade I've also dabbled with surround...

    Sony PS-X70 has stopped auto lift/return

    My Sony PS-X70 works properly in every way except that recently the auto return has stopped working. At the end of a record side the stylus stays in the locked groove and the table keeps spinning until I push Stop, which lifts and returns the arm normally. So the return mechanism is still...

    MC2150 cosmetic quirks and questions

    Last year I bought an MC2150 from AudioClassics and it's a terrific amp. This particular one is in good condition but arrived with two small weirdnesses, which I was reminded of recently when I moved the amp: 1. On the rear chassis, the white serial number area is blank. I highly doubt that...

    How to insert URLs into signature?

    I see them in Grumpy's signature, among others, but I can't get mine to work yet. I have tried using BBCode to put a line like this into my sig: Discogs It shows/works properly when I use the Preview button after editing the sig, but everywhere else on the site it's as if the link code gets...
