| Solid integrated pre amp for beginner? See if you can get a Luxman R-115 (75 watts/ch) receiver with remote on ebay. Make sure the volume control is smooth with even output to both channels. It will cost $150-200 plus shipping but you will get an excellent tuner included.The Nakamichi ... | |
| RECOMMEDATIONS FOR AC RECEPTACLE I got several cryo'd Ac receptacles from Cryoparts here on Audiogon. They are Hubble and P&S. The top end through my maggies now have less grain. It was a small but noticable improvement for around $15. I now plug my powervar into it. Highly r... | |
| Which 1080p plasma? Check the price of the panasonic 58inch 1920 x 1080 plasma at sixth ave electronics (rt 4 paramus NJ). Call or visit. I believe you can haggle and get it for well less than $4000. It is a very nice set for the price. | |
| I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type From what I've seen, I believe plasma still has a more movie like picture quality, now closely followed by LCD and then the sony SXDR and I-dla and then DLP sets. Sixth Ave. Electronics in NJ (rt.4) has been clearing out panasonic plasmas (older m... | |
| Anything better than Magnepan 1.6? You can get better only if you spend a lot more. Soundlabs A1,M1 etc are great speakers as are innersound electrostats and apogee duetta signatures. A few changes in amp/preamp, and crossover components might be worth more than "upgrading" to a di... | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? I've heard the old model 2 SW2's and they ranked up with modified Dayton Wright XG-8's, magnepan typani 1d's,sound labs and hill plasmatronics as producing some of the best sound I've ever heard. I believe Rick Beveridge is working with former inn... | |
| Roger Sanders is back Mr. Sanders is working with Mr. Beveridge (the founder's son)to produce an eliptical electrostatic speaker. I've seen the photos. If it produces the best of Mr. Sander's and Mr. Beveridge's prior designs it will be world class. I can't wait to hea... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Eva Cassidy....a natural wonder..... Songbird & Live at blues Alley | |
| Best Preamp/Amp Combo for Maggie 1.6QR's? IMHO = in my humble opinion | |
| Best Preamp/Amp Combo for Maggie 1.6QR's? I've tried a few combinations with my 1.6QR speakers. They like a high current amp if you want to play large orchestral music. Lower power is fine only for polite vocals and jazz (IMHO). For a really inexpensive set up try a luxman R117 receiver a... | |
| Samsung TV quality Samsung is better known for their LCD (sony bravia) and DLP sets. I also like their plasma but it is not in the same league as the pioneer plasmas or panasonic IMHO. Sixth Ave electronics (NY&NJ) is clearing out their panasonic 50PX600u sets w... | |
| Best digital cable $300 or under new or used? Cogen Hall EM digital cable if you can find one. Also, K-works makes a very nice cable but they are not easy to find on the used market and are about $500 new if my memory serves me correctly. | |
| Need cdp power cord recommendations. A sleeper in power cords for front ends would be the K-works empowered cord. They rarely come up but are well made and silent. I believe they are $275 new and a bit less than half used. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I may have answered this before but only a few ever really caught my attention: (call it a tie as I can't choose just one set)1)Beveridge SW22)Magnepan typani Id3)Hill Plamatronic 4)Apogee duetta signature5)Dayton Wright XG-8 (with leaf tweeter an... | |
