| Audio Dealers in Greater Portland OR Area Stereotypes (503.280.0910) new store by Terri Inman is nicest in the area with great lines. Echo Hifi (888.248.echo) is also great, just a very different market. Done business with both for years. | |
| Budget Tuner Recommendations Onkyo T-9 is cheap and very good. | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Sonus Faber. | |
| Need some $500 & under Amp recommendations NAD is very decent. My take is this is a two channel rig. I've owned the Atoms and they really liked my then Rega Brio. Bit warmer than the NAD and of course you could upgrade to a newer and/or larger Rega integrated. Construction is substantial a... | |
| Afro-Cuban Jazz Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie, Poncho Sanchez, Eddie Palmieri, Mongo Santamaria. All had/have stellar careers in this genre. | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" In regards to this issue, a friend and I who trade great jazz and blues all of the time say to each other "it's the music stupid". So while I appreciate your pain when trying to listen through bad recordings as we all suffer, sometimes one does ha... | |
| is there a stereo blue book for value of old gear Orion Blue Book issued each year. Used versions sometimes available here. | |
| Woofer on top? Many Mission models to include the M70, M71, M72 have this design and sound fine. No hard and fast rules with tweeter placement. | |
| Old powercord Change entire cord, hardwire through chassis. | |

| Best used DVD Player...Not interested in Blue R... Oppo DV981HD, yessss!!!!! Unbeatable for money. | |
| DAC Noob - seeking suggestions The $300 is for the DAC only, right? Suggest Assemblage 2.0 HDCD with upgrade or Adcom 700. These are solid designs and very analog sounding for price range. Also the Scott Nixon is very good. | |
| Element Cables vs Signal Cable Understand the subjectivity of this game, but Signal Cable has racked up 1066 positive hits, no negative and I don't think it's manufactured. I own the product and find them a great value compared to a plethora of cables I've owned from Cardas to ... | |
| Burning cd's for my modestly high-end system... Must respectfully disagree with the "CDs are CDs" claim. Stick with name brand such as TDK, Maxell, Sony, Fuji, Imation, etc. Office Depot, Memorex and those of the ilk are prone to error and will miss track and pop more readily. And they do sound... | |
| A great SS integrated with a good phono stage? Onix (English models) and Exposure both make very good musical, non-aggressive integrateds with plenty of current. The phono sections are very decent. The Tandberg is also very good, some had reliability issues. Luxman integrateds from the 80s are... |
