Welcome to the forum Tom! Ahhh! Gear regrets. Been there, done that. It is what it is. Can't dwell on the past. Keep looking ahead to better gear.
-
I think it's a great idea but I like looking at my M500t even when it's not being used. Can't get enough of the big meters. 😀

Welcome Jamieson! Looking forward to seeing photos of your system.

Holy Cow! Thirteen years here. Time surely flies.
@hauntedz28Welcome to the site. Sounds like a good time to me. As soon as I finish up with a couple of turntables I'll be diving into another C-1 BillD mod and a M1.5t.

I wish your wife a speedy recovery.

I totally agree Michael. Wish i had gotten my hands on the V15 Type V back in the day. I had it was even better. The thing is I rarely play vinyl these days. Not because I don't want to buy because we share the living room with my mother-in-law so the TV is on most of the time. Whatever, I'm not going to take that away from her. She is 90 and won't be around forever.

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. Nice to join a new community. I would be interested to know how you like the Shure V15 Mark IV. I have a Mark V that is out for repair right now. I bought it new in 1982 and used it on a Rabco arm for a couple of years. The Rabco was not too reliable and one day it went crazy and broke the cantilever clean off. Never did find it. I was pretty sick (or disgusted, I can't remember which) about it and put the cartridge in a drawer. I saw an ad in Stereophile for a place that could put a new cantilever and diamond on it so I sent it off after checking references. It will be back in a couple of weeks and I am looking forward to trying it out again. I have had the diamond replaced on a few styluses on my B&O 3000 and they are excellent but that guy retired.

Hey Michael,
Just saw this post. Have you received your cart back from servicing? If so, how are you liking it? I love my Shure V15 Type IV. I've had it since new in the late 70's. Of course the styles had been replaced with a new Hyper Elyptical type. I did a comparison with my son of this cart and the Shure M97XE. They are the only two carts I currently own. My son immediately fell in love the V15. To his ears, and mine, it has a much clearer and cleaner sound than the M97XE.

I’ve wanted to start this thread for a while now, so here goes.
This thread is about one thing, and one thing only - Stunning recordings. Any format, any genre. You don’t even have to like the music itself - it’s all about the RECORDING quality. We all know several of the standards - Dire Straits Brothers In Arms SACD, Donald Fagen Nightfly SACD, Fleetwood Mac Rumors DVDA, etc. I’ve come across a few new ones lately too. Please consider sharing your new finds, as well as your “old guard”.
Katie Melua, Piece By Piece off the Katie Melua Collection CD.
This track has incredible space and imaging right out of the gate. The detail in her vocal presentation is on the level of many Alison Krauss recordings (That’s very high praise). The bass is extremely deep, but without a hint of bloat or boom. The actual lyrics of the song are even touching and deep. The CD is readily available on line for cheap, and I highly recommend acquiring it.
I don't think Ive ever heard a recording by Katie Melua that didn't sound great. Nice to have artists that care about audio quality.

Welcome Matthew!
With a little patience and help from the good folk here you'll have that receiver singing.

Welcome to the forum Carlos! I don't own an M1.0t but do own an M500t with the MKII modification. Absolutely LOVE IT! As stated above, well worth the $$$.

I've had XM/Sirius in 2 vehicles and frankly I though it sounded awful.
I totally agree. I would only use it in my home at low volumes for background music, if at all. In my car it bothers me a little but I can deal with it due to the fact that the stalk stereo is not exactly what I would call resolving.

I'm either home with my wife, mother-in-law, or both. Very rarely get the opportunity to turn it up. Pretty sad actually.

Currently i have a hard time finding time slot to pump up the volume....
In fact I never saw more than 3 led on my M1.0T ...
Hoping to see at least 5 !
Must remember they are two.
Three LED's on my M1.5t is more than enough to get my wife pissed.

That was one of three of my first albums I purchased from KMart when I was 10 years old. I believe I still have it.
That said, I was really floored when i heard this version a few years ago and I still love it.

Nothing like a little Priest to start the weekend. "Victim of Changes" anyone?

Saw it with my wife last weekend. We both loved it as well. It was thoughtfully written and portrayed. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a must see for any Queen fan.

Welcome back RTM!
Nice list of gear. I'm also a Pioneer Elite and Carver fan. I love my Carver gear but can't seem to part with the Pioneer Reference (pre Elite) stuff. I hold both brands in high regard. Looking forward to pucs of your gear.

I would take a mono signal, like a 1KHz tone and inject that tone into both the left and right Processor Inputs and measure the output levels at Main 1 Out. You really need to verify just how much of a difference there actually is between the two channels.

Of course that doesn't eliminate the Balance control but at least all the input selectors up to that point will be eliminated.
