Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods?
Genesis,You should be able to get brass hardware at most hardware stores. Home Depot and Sears P&H in my area have them. The crossover panel has a thin foam seal around the perimeter. You may need to pry a little bit to get it started. The bot... 
RCA phono interconnects for Low Output MC
Krellboy,Give the Hovland Music Groove 2 cables a try. They aren't very impressive looking, but the sound is amazing. The only downfall may be that they can not be used for higher voltages. So they can not be used for your CD player or tuner later... 
Best bookcase speakers for classical music
For a nice bookshelf monitor, I suggest giving the Meadowlark Vireos a try. I recently tried them in my office after trying the B&Ws, Proacs, and Paradigms and am now waiting for the Ash finished pair I ordered to come in. My local store is ki... 
What are some excellent mid -priced tuners?
Jvr,I know what you mean- I hate when a tuner sounds like radio, or when a CD player sounds like CD, or a Reel to Reel sounds like tape or especially when a turntable sounds like vinyl. Sorry for the sarcasm- I guess I just don't understand your c... 
What are some excellent mid -priced tuners?
Of course the Fanfare should be mentioned. It is as good (IMO, better) than the Magnum Dynalabs at the same price point. The comparison in my home lead me to buy the Fanfare. The comparison was recently covered in this thread: http://forum.audiog... 
Best Dac you ever heard
I like my Pass D1. Using my SCD-1 and 9000es as transports, it proved to be as musical and detailed as the new Meridian CD player and the EMC-1 24/192 I recently auditioned in my home. I was hoping a one box would beat it, neither did. So I'm stuc... 
Pass Labs Aleph P owners
The difference is SIGNIFICANT. Besides features I needed, the sound was that much better. It just opened up so much more. The detail was like the difference between a budget tube preamp and the Aleph P. While I never owned the Aleph-ono. I did a c... 
SACD to Audio Aero Capitol
Natalie, How is Philips and Sony keeping DVD-A players roadblocked? It seems that anyone that wants to build a great SACD player (there are a few)could have built a great DVD-A player (none I know of, but I anticipate being corrected.) DVD-A doesn... 
A pass Labs X250 amp worth a divorce?
Simply, YES. For the reasons stated by Hifiying. Consider it a test of love. It seems you can't lose. 
Cable for Tonearm/Turntable........
I would like to recommend the Hovland. It brought my system to levels unheard of previously. The downside is that it is designed only for phono level signals and it can't be used later for a 2v signal like a CD, tuner, etc. Try one first if you ca... 
Buzz originating from amp...please help ?
Jcambron,While you didn't say either way- hopefully you've tried different interconnects between your amp and preamp. If that doesn't work or you don't receive other info here that solves your problem, I would suggest emailing or calling Peter or ... 
Best Receiver Ever Made short of the MD-208
Yamaha R2000- Best beast ever built. 150 watts/ch and came with a world class (at the time) phono stage and tuner. Yamaha took their best separates at the time and combined them into one unit. Was approx 22 inches wide and all internals were isola... 
Magnum or Fanfare Tuner. Which Sounds the Best?
Having heard both the MD90 and MD100, I purchased the Fanfare. They all sounded very similar. The Fanfare had a better low end than the Magnums. The tuning quality seemed all the same. Ultimately, it was the appearance and remote that got my busin... 
Who does make excellent EQUALIZERS???

overheating in DVP S9000es?
I also have a 9000es. It does run warm, but so does all my better equipment. -Especially the digital devices. That momentary pause approx half-way through the movie is the layer change. This is normal for most DVD players. As for the buttons'react...
