| using regular PC discs with stand-alone CD-Rs Possible, not recommended. The trick here is simple. Load a music CDR first and let it read, then slowly pull the tray out manually fingertips under the tray lip, load the PC blank and push forward slowly. You've just tricked the stand alone in be... | |
| Who services older equipment? Doug Siegel at Audio Specialties Portland, OR. 503 257 3206 (I believe phone number is correct). He works wonders with older equipment and is a used equipment only dealer. | |
| Need Help AR XA Turntable Sumiko Premier used. | |
| Where can I purchase big band lp's? I'm taking LPs literally. I'm on contract in Tucson,AZ and have found PDQ records which has literally thousands of big band albums on vinyl. I also contracted in Kansas City, MO and found a great shop who's name I've forgotten. About 3,000 square ... | |
| Best Fanfare? Erich Kunzel with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra on Telarc. A Telarc recording you can actually listen to. | |
| VTL ST-85 Amp, any Preamp recommendations.... VTL 2.5 is a nice combo. Less expensive and still very good are the Antique Sound Labs pieces. Good luck. | |

| Best Acoustically Untreated Room You Have Heard? My old home with cathedral ceiling opening up from wall where speakers were placed. Very few direct refecting wall with plenty of carpet. Lively, but not echoing. | |
| Majik/Genki vs Classik I've owned the Classik and loved it. Not reference, but very good. The Genki player is superior, however the Majik I found to be very thin sounding. I'd vote the Classik overall. | |
| Best powered mini monitors w/out sub Acoustic Energy AEGOS sub/sat system for $400. | |
| Aerius i and VTL IT 85 I've run these speaker with the VTL Tiny Triodes and they loved them. This is a very bright speaker and the VTL gear mellows them. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Rega Mira Going with the older Totem Sttaf. | |
| Blood ,Sweat, & Tears Mobile Fidelity version is quite good. | |
| Speakers to match this system.... Axiom M22Ti. It's fun to embarrass much more expensive speakers. Get the black as Boston cherry looks weak. Buy through Audio Shoppe Ottawa, Canada and ask for Mark. Best deal. | |
| How good are Axiom loudspeakers These are seriously contenders. I have turned many onto these and run a pair of the M3Ti myself. They are much smoother, detailed, less bright and dynamic than the Titans which I've also owned. They will reveal inferior equipment on the front end.... |
