| Your Perfect Office System? Classik T is the winner with whatever small monitor you like. Rogers, Spendors, you know the drill. | |
| A New or Repaired faceplate for Marnatz 7 Might try two places in Portland, OR. Audio Specialties (Doug Siegel) at 503 257 3206 or Echo Audio echohifi.com(Kurt)at 888 248 ECHO as they deal almost exclusively with used. Good luck. | |
| CD-R's suddenly "unreadable". This is an elusive problem because it can be a lowered output from an aging laser, misalignment, tray movement problems or the fact you are burning the CDRs at 16Xs or 24Xs which seems to present problems with some players. I would first have a te... | |
| Recommend speakers I'll second the Axioms. They are amazing and with so little hype. I've purchased for friends (and held onto for a short time) the M3Tis and they are wonderful. Took awhile to get used to the thought of metal drivers but they really do their thing.... | |
| Does anyone prefer Toslink, with DAC? Eldragon,Toslink often sounds better than coax. Better bottom end and more open in the mids. Don't be afraid. | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Rega 25 with Micro Benz will take you far enough into analogue to decide whether further investment is warranted. Used should run about $1000. | |
| tuners under 1000? Luxman from the late 70s early 80s are very tough to beat. Analogue and very musical. You need to step up to the Magnum Dynalabs and Sequerras to beat them. I've owned several tuners throughout the years and choose them. | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? JBL Paragon | |
| Recommended CD of " Smooth Jazz " Some of the 'Jazz for a Stormy Weekend' type of series are actually very credible artists such as Zoot Sims, Ben Webster, Blue Mitchell. The people compiling these series have simply sifted through material to present more palatable jazz to the un... | |
| Good Audio System for Living Room The Linn Classik offers compact quality, is very good sounding AND has a high WAF as it is one box that does all while not cluttering up the room. Used with tuner model can be found for around $1100. Axiom M3Ti (audioshop.on.ca)in black are quite ... | |
| Replacing internal wiring. I've moddified several pair of speakers simply by matching component values with upgraded polypropylenes and using mostly Kimber VS wire as it's decent, not too expensive and can be broken apart from the braid to fit into small solder holes. | |
| Best Outdoor Speakers B&W Rock Solids are built for this purpose and sound very respectable for the bucks. | |
| do you need to tweak a tape deck??? I always had my Naks (5 in total) internally tweaked for Maxell UDXL II by a tech and that seemed to make the most difference. Sound floor dropped, dynamics went up as I could run very hot and avoid distortion and the phasing just seemed to be dea... | |
| Opinions on Rega Amps and Speakers I've owned and/or listened to several Rega integrateds and fnd them to be very musical. Not the last word in detail, dynamics or imaging, but very respectable for the money. The speakers I find to be something otherwise. I would say no to them. Un... |
