best "entry level" audiophile TT?
Ok,Interesting reading. Guess I will just have to put in my 2 cents for what ever it is worth.1: The Project RM-5 is belt driven per the owners manual.I own a Project RM-4 very easy to setup with the right tools. I use a Sumiko Blue Point Cartridg... 
Musical Fidelity kw DM 25 Transport and DAC
Mert,I feel I must come to Elberoth2's defense. He was very specific in that he said he heard it at a HiFi show in London. I heard a similar setup at Rocky Mountain Audiofest last year and came to the same conclusion as did my mother who has bette... 
Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old
Ok I feel that this thread has gotten off track. So I will put in my 2 cents.Radio shack minimus 7's at a whopping $50.00 a pair back in 86. Rebuild the crossovers for $25 and you are good to go.Ok anyother low bidders. 
Break in period
Pdn,It is not the fact that the brain and ears adjust to the sound of the new equipment. Our ears and braind actuall have very short memories. Listen to a song on a well conditioned system, then listen to the same song 24 hours later on the same s... 
More power or better quality power?
Musical Fidelity A308 Integrated or the new A5 Integrated. Looked in the classifieds no A308's listed. 
Room size and floor standing speakers
Peter,My room is 11'3" x 23 with my system setup on the long wall. Sitting nearfield I feel is the way to go. View my system pics and you will see. It has challenges yes but IMHO a sweet little system.Good Luck. 
More power or better quality power?
Bob,I would define a quality watt as follows. An amps ability to reproduce music accuratly without clipping or distorting. This may seem easy but without a quality power supply and a good supply of reserve power it is virtuatly impossible. Lets ta... 
More power or better quality power?
Phoenix469,I definatly disagree with Mr.Reynolds. Having owned NAD from 1986 to 1990. And recently auditioning a NAD 325BEE for use at work. In my recent audition I was disapointed in the system as a whole. I attribute this mostly to the NAD, alth...

Why are there two prong and three prong Plugs
Ok here it goes.A dedicated line may take care of your problem if all of the equipment is fed off of it. I would recomend a 20Amp ckt using 10/2 copper. Another issue can be a TV connected to the system and TV cable. I took a look at your system a... 
can i use both amps?
Bigsteve,Of course, as Kal said take the front L/R out of the AVP to either a HT input on the integrated or to a spare input. If you have a HT input it will bypass the pre amp section of the integrated. If not pick a predetermined setting on the i... 
Re-discovered Satellite Radio..
I have never tried satalite in the house. I do have Sirius in the Truck and although I am happy with it, It cant compete with CD in the Truck. Therefore I am hesitant about putting it in the house. I don't mind changing CD's when needed. As far as...
