| Equipment Restoration well, I'm hardly an expert, but have an opinion on this. I think for collectible gear it may be worth the time to repair cosmetics. Some of these repairs would be easy (eg sheet metal straightening), but worn lettering *I think* requires artistic ... | |
| UPS Tracking Question I've had something like this occur twice - once with UPS, and the item had been sent to the wrong place, dropped, and largely destroyed by the time it got to me. Once with FEDEX, and the item was lost in their dist facility - where it sat for 3 da... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor flrnlamb, it would be nice if we got to decide our own credibility. That decision actually belongs to others, and I think in this case Dawgbyte had it right. As Rex also pointed out, there are many, many reviews posted. I'm sure that in your own m... | |
| Speaker cables I assembled an adapter for my vintage Fisher tube integrated from plexiglass with off the shelf 5-way binding posts and wire. It works perfectly though maybe not as elegant as the item Nsgarch shows. | |
| How to upgrade a nondetachable power cord? sounds great Alan. Which CJ amp did you do this on? I recently acquired 2 MF2100's with light duty captive power cords. | |
| Music volume? What about your sound level? my RS meter is reading low 80's db range (81-84 db, measured from my listening position) for my normal high volume level. My normal background listening levels are probably in the 70-74db range. I haven't tested it, but I think for the few albums ... | |
| A good match preamp for B&K EX-442 Sonata amp? I haven't owned or heard the EX-442, but did/do have many other B&K amps, including EX4420, Ref 4420, St140, and currently about running M200 Sonata monoblocks. I've tried many preamps and haven't really found any that didn't work nicely with ... | |
| Subwoofer other than Strata 3 Rel Storm III can be found used w/i your budget; although, it's a ported design, and I assume your reference to non-ported speakers implies you want a sub that's also non-ported? | |
| A good match preamp for B&K EX-442 Sonata amp? How much money are you budgeting for the preamp? As for the Receiver, I've tried using a few different receivers as a preamps (Yamaha, Denon, Sony) and while the addition of an outboard amp was an improvement, the receivers really didn't perform w... | |

| Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair I also agree regarding Dhango, the only problem is it's near impossible to find anything hi-fi, it's all that 40's recording quality. There are a number of Django desciples though, some who emulate him closely. Philip Catherine is one who does not... | |
| Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's congrat's! what stands are you using with them? | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor If you really want to save a lot of money, and you're doing this only for movies - here are some more thoughts:The B&K AVP3090 is a steal on the used market at I don't have experience with the Rotel 1068, but do with other Rotel pre's and it's... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor I have the Lexicon DC-1 and would recommend it. It's great sounding, has all I need. DTS, DD, and Lexicon's Logic 7 - which is actually really nice. It's also dead quiet. I can't compare it the Act 3. | |
| poor vinyl I've had reasonably good experience on ebay. The shops that are honest and know how to rate LP quality are somewhat easy to spot. I had one or 2 buys that didn't meet the quality level rated, but the price in that case was about right so I didn't ... |
