A FEW TIPS
Warm up the MC8 before listening: The sonic performance of the MC8 improves
noticeably as the unit warms up. The midrange becomes more lucid, the highs
smoother, and the soundstage expands. The warm up period can be expected to last
several hours. Consequently, we recommend that the MC8 be left on at all times. The
low power consumption of the unit makes this practical.
Magnetic fields should be controlled: We recommend the use of one VPI "brick"
placed on the top of the MC8 in the right rear corner.
Clean records sound better: The sonic differences achieved by merely cleaning a
record are nothing short of remarkable. Even brand new records benefit from a
thorough cleaning. Economical record cleaning machines are available from Nitty-
Gritty and from VPI. Our own experience is with the VPI HW1 which we have found
to be totally satisfactory.
