| Best Integrated Dave, I have not tried all the amps you have listed, I can only reply that I own the ML 383 and I am very happy with it. If you want a review of it, www.sstage.com is supposed to have their review of it on-line March 1st.Mark Levinson 383Meridian ... | |
| Tuner Vs. 4DTV music channels Thanks for the responses to this message. There has been much discussed about DSS, but does anyone have any knowledge about the 4dtv receivers for C-band? I know little about these. www.4dtv.com I went to this site to see if it had digital out, bu... | |
| Heating up and cooling and amp I am more curious about peoples opinions on the solders weakening from heating and cooling. My Levinson is in standby mode when not "on", so it is always ready. It does get warmer, obviously, when in use though, versus standby. I must say I am not... | |
| Heating up and cooling and amp Sorry for the goofed up heading, I was trying to do to many thigns at once. | |
| Nakamichi Dragons worth the fix? I guess that depends on how much you want to have into it. More than likely service could be a bit costly. You can contact Jeffrey Galin of ES Labs (www.eslabs.com 860-529-3700) or Stephen Sank at 505-296-8795 for service. My guess is the deck cou... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Sedond, I may of misunderstood your last message, but if I am reading it correctly, you are stating that after some A and B testing, you have found your $500 CD changer to be darn near as good as a $1700 and $3500 CD player. If that is what you ar... | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? I do not have much experience with tuners. I had one in my first Technics "rack" stereo years ago; actually I still have that tuner, my neighbor uses it. I decided a couple of months ago to look into a tuner again, I bought an old Sansui TU-717 to... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! I found yet another company making silver cables inexpensively, they claim they have been doing so since 1993. http://www.kljtech.com/ Here is the ad I came across: KLJ Technologies has been handcrafting superior quality silver interconnects since... | |
| Need a good tuner and there aren't many? For what it is worth, I have the Fanfare FT-1A, and I realize it is over your $1000 request, but I thought I would at least give you my two cents on it. Before I bought it, I picked up an old Sansui TU-717 on eBay to get my feet wet using a tuner ... | |
| Vintage Receivers vs. Modern MidFi Carter, there is a Discussion Forum for vintage audio at www.audioreview.com. There are others that also are drawn to the look of those old receivers. If you go to that Web site, look up a user called BeatleFred, he knows a lot about the old recei... | |
| Can I connect speaker wire this way...? Just to put closure on this, I did test the wire already and other than being a pain to get hooked up, it worked fine for my test. Steve, some of your questions are answered if you would read all of the original message. The wire I was trying was ... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! I am borrowing some XLO cables from a guy. I don't know much about them and it doesn't appear they have a Web site, but their coating is clear and the wire's I see within are thin, and they do not lack bass. If anyone knows more about these cables... | |
| Integrated amp decision, oh the headache For what it's worth, the latest edition of Stereophile is their Recommrnded Components issue, it listed 3 w/in your price range. Cambridge Audio A500 $450; Creek 4330 $495; NAD C340 $399. Also, Musical Fidelity X-A1 $599; Rega Brio $595. | |
| Oh Pls Help Plato, you have me confussed with the original poster. Brian | |
| Can I connect speaker wire this way...? Dekay, it makes sense to me that it would actually work best w/o a "connector" i.e. spade or bananna, but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing. In years past, equipment didn't require these connectors, you just pushed do... |
