| Best speaker under $500 HI, FOR UNDER $500. I WOULD LOOK FOR A PAIR OF USED DAHLQUIST DQ 10 SPEAKERS.THEY ARE TRULY STATE OF THE ART.YOU HAVE TO HEAR THEM TO BELIEVE HOW GOOD THEY ARE!!THEY LIKE A TUBE PREAMP AND AT LEAST 200 WATTS/CH. OF SOLID STATE POWER. ENJOY,RICH | |
| Vandersteen 3A sig VS B W Nautilus 804 I AGREE THAT THE VANDYS ARE INCREDIBLE FOR THE PRICE AND ARE BETTER THEN MANY SPEAKERS COSTING MUCH MORE.HOWEVER AFTER HAVING THEM IN MY SYSTEM,I NOW HAVE THE ALON II MKIII IN MY SYSTEM AND PREFER THEM.AS ALWAYS IT DEPENDS ON PERSONAL TASTE,ROOM A... | |
| Cartridge for an old GRACE 707? HI BART, AS LONG AS YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE CORRECT OVERHANG FOR YOUR CARTRIDCE THE ARM IS IN THE RIGHT LOCATION.THE TEMPLATE IS NEEDED FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO INSTALL THIS ARM ON AN UNDRILLED ARMBOARD.ANOTHER PROBLEM CONCERNING OVERHANG IS THAT THE ... | |
| Where should the money go? I AGREE WITH CORNFEDBOY,THE BASIS/REGA COMBO IS HARD TO BEAT.I LOOKED AT MANY TABLES AND NONE AT THE PRICE OF A BASIS1400 EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THE WORKMANSHIP AND TOOLING TOLERANCES OF BASIS. THE STAND ALONE MOTOR AND 10 YEAR WARRANTY IS THE ICING ... | |
| Cartridge for an old GRACE 707? IN 1978 I HAD A GRACE 707 ARM WITH A MICRO ACOUSTICS 2002 CARTRIDGE ON IT .IT WORKED WELL.IN FACT ONE WENT UP FOR SALE YESTERDAY FOR $50 ON AUDIOGON.I STILL HAVE THE ARM IN MY ARCHIVES AND NOW USE A GRAHAM BUT THE 707 DOES A FINE JOB.I ALSO STILL ... | |
| Looking for warmer speaker cables THE T-14 CABLES ARE BRIGHTER THEN SAY KIMBER 8TC.AND AUDIOQUEST INDIGO OR MIDNITE ARE MUCH WARMER THEN THE KIMBERS.SO THE AUDIOQUESTS I BELIEVE WOULD SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM WITHOUT KNOWING ALL OTHER FACTORS.DO YOU HAVE A CEILING PANEL TO CONTROL THE F... | |
| VANDERSTEEN 2ce signatures? I AGREE,THE ABOVE POSTS GIVE ACCURATE ADVICE.I HAVE OWNED VANDY 3A AND SIGS.AND THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST VALUES OUT THERE.IN THIS PRICE RANGE I WOULD ALSO LISTEN TO THE ALON LINE WHICH I CURRENTLY OWN AND VERY HAPPY WITH. REGARDS,RICH | |
| forte 4 VS. forte 4a VS. forte 7 THE FORTE 4 IS 50WATTS CLASS A AND THE FORTE 7 ARE 75 WATT CLASS A MONOBLOCKS. THEY LOOK IDENTICAL TO THE 4 ONLY MORE POWER.I HAVE A FORTE 4 FOR A SECOND SYSTEM AND MY FRIEND HAS THE 7'S DRIVING VANDY 3A SIGS. WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS. | |
| Threshold T200 sound quality? I AGREE,I OWN A THRESHOLD T400 AND THINK HIGHLY OF IT.THAT IS DEFINITELY A STEAL.WHAT SPEAKERS WILL YOU BE USING WITH IT? ALSO BE CAREFUL WHAT PREAMP YOU ARE USING IF YOU INTEND TO USE BALANCED INTERCONNECTS BECAUSE THE INPUT IMPEDANCE IS VERY LOW... | |
| Old Timers Advice Required CHRISTOPHER, I CANNOT COMMENT ON THE AMP,BUT I STILL HAVE MY DAHLQUIST DQ'S FROM 1978 AND KEEP GOING BACK TO THEM. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER NEW "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SPEAKERS" BUT HAVE SOLD THEM ALL BECAUSE NONE HAD THE MIDRANGE MAGIC LIKE THE DQ10'... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I AGREE,FOR THE MONEY ,AND A WHOLE LOT MORE,THE MUSICAL FIDELITY E-624 IS A GIFT!! IF YOU CAN FIND ONE!!! | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? IF YOU CAN FIND A USED FORTE 4 AMP WHICH IS 50 WATTS PURE CLASS A, IMHO THIS FAR EXCEEDS ANYTHING ELSE IN ITS PRICE RANGE.USUALLY $700-800 USED.ROOM TREATMENTS CAN CHANGE YOUR SOUND FROM BRIGHT TO DARK,SO KEEP ON TWEAKING!! | |
| Music Fidelity E624 CD Player DEKAY,you are correct about the 3 being the same except for the uotside case.( cosmetics ). I believe the bass is all there and very accurate? |
