| Amp to drive my AR-90s I've got a pair of AR90's. I'm driving them with a Harman Kardon HK3490 receiver (120w:89ohms/150w:4ohms). If your source is a turntable, the 3490 is definitely enough power. It's around $400 new price. Mine is B stock which I bought from the fact... | |
| good cable for internal speaker wiring I'm going to use magnet wire which I think is OCC wire which I can get in short lengths from Paul Speltz. But I haven't tried it yet. So it's an option but I can't tell you if I like it yet. | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier Corrections: The amps which provided 1000w/tower did not double down and Beethovan needs an "h". Also I should have mentioned in the review that the sound of internal switching in the HK990 is the comforting sound of solenoids. | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier Loomisjohnson, Thanks for your comments. Lynne | |
| Advantages of bi-wire? Tpreaves. Found good info searching the archives. Searching "biamping" in addition is also good complementary info. Not so hot on biwiring now. Thanks. Lynne | |
| Advantages of bi-wire? Like the Home Depot has. There is some critic who swears by speaker cable home made from house wiring that he gets from Home Depot. Can't remember if he uses 8awg or 10awg. | |

| What's up with Harmon Kardon receiver line? Hi, Loomis. Thanks for throwing water on my fire. I want to bite. It doubles down. 200amps instantaneous current. Balanced inputs. Coupled with cdplayer eliminates jitter. I got burned with the 7.1. So thanks for slowing me down. Wondered if you'v... | |
| What's up with Harmon Kardon receiver line? I don't know what's up with HK receiver line either, but the HK990 integrated is now available in US as you might have noticed. You can order it from the factory for I think $2399.00 free shipping. I've got a 3490 and 3485 both of which have excel... | |
| HK t-60 motor mounts loose? Sorry for slow response. Thanks, Jeff. Good info. Lynne | |
| HK t-60 motor mounts loose? I'm referring to the three little screws around motor shaft which is suspended in the base. The motor shaft is not snug. I can move it vertically and laterally. The turntable works and the motor is quiet. Maybe if it works don't fix it, or maybe t... | |
| What CD player compares to NAD C545BEE? I got a Musical Fidelity v-dac for $299. at audioadvisor and am using my hk hd7600 for transport. The hd7600 is the only high quality player hk ever made. It weighs about 15 lbs and was advised it would make a good enough transport. The dac is onl... | |
