Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express?
Yes it used to - BUT NO LONGER! Out here in the far west -Portland,OR - FedEx has taken over the RPS service for ground service. The service - if you want to call it that -is just miserable and the delivery people are rude, arrogantjerks. If you ... 
can speaker cables help?
I fully agree with the remarks posted by George above. Speaker cables certainly can make a difference in thesound of your system. So can speaker placement, the typeof interconnects you use, and the various components in youraudio system. Mostly wh... 
vaporware
Sorry to hear about the "lost" CD-Rs. You did not mentionwhat type of CD recording device you used to make your CD-Rs. I own a media duplication company; and we only usestandalone, commercial CD recorders for duplicating audiomedia. And we rarely ... 
The best CD Player for the money
I just want to confirm the posts of Ferrari & Telescopetrade - the Music Hall MMF CD-25 is a "Must Listen" CDplayer. I just bought one a few days ago; and even withonly about 12 hours of playing time it just sings! Warm,smooth, and lots of det... 
Has anyone heard the new Music Hall MMF CD25 ?
I just received my MMF CD25 this past friday; and like justabout everything about it. This unit has great looks,sturdy build quality (considering its' price point!), and a clean, easy-to-read display. Operates very quietly, too. Though I only have... 
McIntosh transistor tuners....any good ones?
I just moved up to McIntosh gear from Adcom separates; andyou don't have to know anything about audio to appreciatethe difference. I bought a used MR-73 mostly because thePre and Amp took up most of my budget. I had the tuneraligned and checked ou... 
Background Hissing Noise When Idle
I agree with Gthrish1. I would look into AC noise cominginto your system from your AC outlet. I just moved up toa McIntosh setup that required more AC outlets than I hadused with my prior system. When I first set up the system, I was using two low... 
TAS new look-the end is near?
I'm a new subscriber to TAS, and have to say I really enjoyed my first two issues. Prior to this I had been asubscriber to Audio before it folded; and have been aStereophile subscriber since mid-1995. Quite frankly, I was delighted to see a negati... 
AC Conditioners: Must Have Tweak or More Voodo
I would agree with several others who have made postsabout having your wiring brought up to local code. Asidefrom the potential for fire and shock from improperly wiredoutlets, a properly wired home provide you with muchcleaner audio. I just recen... 
DVD recorders
Skip the Elite! You will be paying mostly for the appearanceupgrade. All of the Pioneer DVD recorders use the sametransport and chip sets. That includes the Consumer andProfessional PRV-9000 models. I own a video editing and media duplication comp... 
What should I plug my system into?
I'm very surprised noone has mentioned the Panamax lineof surge protectors and line conditioners. I just moved upfrom Adcom stuff to a McIntosh system and discovered my old TrippLite line conditioner no longer had enough outletsto plug everything ... 
Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food??
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese! - It's all I can afford aftermoving up from Adcom stuff to a McIntosh system. But themusic just keeps getting better! 
Best audio racks
I would look into the Salamander Synergy units. Severalsizes and configurations to choose from; and real woodfinishes to boot. I've had a Synergy Twin 30 System for the past two yearsand like it a lot. Not the utmost in rigid support - butif you h... 
Help with an Amp in the 1500 ballpark used
One word - McIntosh! Lots of good used amps in yourprice range, power to spare, and if you don't like the sound you can always sell for pretty much what you paid!
