| Tuner in the 600 range for classical music? Flybass:Try a used Magnum Dynalab FT-101. It has exceptional sensitivity, selectivity, FM quieting, and very good sound quality. I know it does these things for a fact, because I happen to own one. And even though I don't listen to classical (I li... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Krazeeyk:I don't know if this has been said already, but what I would do is this. I would take a more balanced approach to things. And when I say that, I mean make sure that when you are putting together your audio system, make sure that your spea... | |
| Good phono amp, low noise, not too expencive? Psych:Okay.......... I haven't thought of that. A "factory refurbished" SOTA could be a very attractive option. I may consider that option as well. But now, getting back to the Technics SL-1200 MkII. If I should happen to change my mind and say th... | |
| Good phono amp, low noise, not too expencive? Phych:You are right about the Technics SL-1200 MkII being a good turntable and all. My buddy, who happens to be a DJ (but I am not one...... I am just an audiophile (????)) has two of them, and he swears by them. And by helping him to do parties m... | |
| Good phono amp, low noise, not too expencive? Paul:I am with the "Psych" as far as the Monolithic PS-1/HC-1 is concerned. I don't have a phono stage yet, and I am going to add an analog rig to my audio system this summer. The first piece I am going to get will be the phono stage. And my phono... | |
| Suggestions For Phono Preamp.... Avideo:Or, you can try this. How about a Monolithic PS-1??? It's a good and INEXPENSIVE phono preamp. And it seems to be enjoying some good press as well. I have read two glowing reviews about the Monolithic PS-1, and both of the reviewers that I ... | |
| Recommendation for HT w/Vandersteen 2Ce Hello Dema:I will have to second "Sdcampbell's" recommendation as far as a Surround Processor and Power Amplifier are concerned. But however, as often the case with Bryston's products, I feel that their "2 Channel" stereo amps are very good to beg... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Brianmgrarcom:And about Panasonic's entry-level "G" series (and "D" series as well)??? Looks like I have to concur with whomever advise you against getting one. Think that you may have to look elsewhere if you are thinking about getting a good, bu... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Brianmgrarcom:Actually, I have to disagree with you there too (as far as the features on today's newer sets are concerned). Actually, my TOL 27" Panasonic also has two antenna inputs. If anything at all, I believe my Pany has one feature even 27" ... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Brianmgrarcom:What you should do first and foremost when you are evaluating TV's in a store (and especially Best Buy and Circuit City (and thankfully, I didn't buy my TV from either of these places....... I bought my TV from my high end dealer)) i... | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? Tommyt:I am with Asa on this one. Who wears the pants in the family, you or her??? I'm not trying to tell you what to do and so forth. All I am making here is a suggestion. And that suggestion would be to go ahead and divorce the wifey and then ge... | |
| Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ? Bazmataz:I second Ligi on his recommendation of the new Pioneer Elite DV-47A. But also, now with the DV-47A being available, if you don't have to have either SACD or DVD-A playback, and you want to save a few bucks, then I would try to find a disc... | |
| TUNERS..anyone? Hello David:I see no one seem to mention anything about the Magnum Dynalab FT-101 (not the FT-101A version). I happen to own one, and may I say that I have been a happy owner for almost two years now. I will go out on a limb and say that my Magnum... | |
| Need advice in coming out from the analog dead 4yanx:All of the advice that was given to you so far seems to be pretty good advice, and certainly, that would be advice that I would adhere to to a "T". I think that would be my $.02 worth on this very issue.Now, as for your analog front end, you... | |
| Turntable/Arm in 1500-2000 Range Or what about the new VPI Scout/JMW-9 system??? I am considering a turntable/arm system in this price range myself and I am looking at the mentioned VPI Scout/JMW-9 system myself (in fact, it has emerged as the front runner on my shortlist) as wel... |
