| Best table in $1500 range You can do a new Teres with arm, phono stage, and cartridge for 2500 easy. You could probably even afford a K&K transformer (if you select a low output moving coil cartridge) in this budget.Whoops; just checked the Teres site and the 135 is no... | |
| Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ? There is a certain NEC model that is supposed to be very, very good and is quite price competitive. | |
| Best table in $1500 range Audio Note TT1 w/Audio Note ARM1 or ARM2...much better choice...isTeres 135...well, it is 1575...this would be my choice hands down with absolutely no looking back. Well, not until I could afford a Teres with a wood plinth and leaded platter but t... | |
| suggestion for a multi channel pre/amp please A used Integra preamp would be good. The one that goes for a lot of money; not sure of model number. NOT a receiver.Used Tag McLaren is less than 2k and very good but the future of the company may only lie in car chassis for formula one and not in... | |
| going to tubes, just one question.. A quality push/pull class A 300b amplifier putting out 18 to 20 watts will drive most speakers just fine and sound very, very good; the Sun Audio unit of this design if very good. A quality EL34 based push/pull class A amp might be a better choice... | |
| Three way active xover ? Marchand electronics makes several models of electronic crossovers in both solid state and tube configuration. They come in two and three way units, too, as well as kit or finished product. Not obscenely priced by today's standards at less than 2 ... | |
| Three way active xover ? It would be hard to beat a Linn Aktiv system with one of their top of the line speakers in tri amped mode. Linn spent a lot of time and money getting it right and, if you like solid state stuff, they did. A Linn Keltik triamped would be a truly wo... | |
| Turntable Choices If I could stretch my budget to 1400 I'd really push the fellow hard that has the Audiomecca Romance turntable with tonearm. It is supposed to be a very good table/arm comvination and wonderful cosmetics! he is asking 1600...it's been for sale for... | |
| suggestions for high quality but inexpensive amps bryston 2b used at 450 is a wonderful amplifier..I just had mine warrantied and it sounds like a new amp again. Pity I have no real use for it other than as a backup to the 300b amplifier. | |
| Want to build my own equipment. One thing to not be surprised about. If you use quality parts throughout you might find you wind up spending a lot more money than you intended to spend on your "DIY" project. Having said that you also might come up with an amplifier you might kee... | |
| Tight-Budget Tube Integrated... Help Take a look at the used Fisher 500b tube receiver for around 400. Great manufacturing, good transformers, FM tuner, and will retain its value if you keep it in the condition in which you get it (assuming you get a fair price). They are very good u... | |
| Dared Tube preamp/amp?? The VP300B with upgraded tubes, capacitors, diodes, and resistors, as well as silver wiring and the volume/preamp section bypassed bested my prior Audio Note Conqueror amplifier. | |
| Tight-Budget Tube Integrated... Help At less than 400 I think I'd be looking at that Fisher 500B tube receiver as it is a nice sounding piece that will only appreciate in value if taken care of. | |
| Looking to better my redbook action.... Used Cal Audio Delta Transport with matching Sigma or Alpha DAC. The DAC has left/right output controls on the rear panel and is a good sounding unit. Both can be had for much less than a grand used when they are available. | |
| best non guitar rock solo Whoever the sax player was for the Traffic band of the late 70s. Check out the cuts "Glad" and "Tragic Magic" on the live Traffic double album; wonderful record.Dave Ellis played killer leads for Bob Weir's band called Ratdog when he was in that b... |
