| Fuses keep blowing Thank for the advice guys. "Pull all tubes and turn it on. If that works, it could be a shorted tube-most likely an output tube"Wouldn't it be better to just pull the tubes, and have them checked out on a tube tester? At least that way, I would kn... | |
| Looking for new monitors - $300-$600 budget Since most of your listening seems to be rock, I would hesitate on single full range driver design. The Dynaudio Audience 52 that on your local craighlest would certainly be worth having a listen to, and might indeed, serve your listening wants an... | |
| SPEAKER HUM Another thing to check is whether the tubes are propertly seated in their holders. | |
| Recommended new speakers for under $500? Energy RC-10, and NHT Classic Two are also worthy of consideration. | |
| speakers for my rebuilt marantz 2325 I believe the Marantz 2325 and the Spendor S8e should work and sound very well together, especially since you're having the Marantz completely restored. Enjoy the Music. | |
| totem model 1 vs. quad 11L Dav65mus,If you like the sound of your Quad 11L but want more bass I would go with Quad 12L. Also, because of your limited space I would go for the Active version of the Quad 12L. By active, these speakers already have an amp built in to them. Bas... | |
| best cd player for 300-500 bux Flyin2jz,You need to check on the back of NAD CDP and see what kind of outputs (opitical or coax)that it as. Coax is better, but opitical also works well. Many good DACs in the $300 - 500 price range (and I see some have already been listed). Do a... | |
| Good $250 Power Cord I enjoy the Virtual Dynamic Power Three on my amp (Jolida JD-502A), it really did "sell me" on the importances of quality power cord. | |
| best cd player for 300-500 bux New or Used? Just off the top of my head, I know both the new NAD C545BEE and the Marantz CD5003 have removable power cords, and both have gotten decent reviews. Btw, why do you want to get rid of your NAD C541? I think in the $300 - 500 range, yo... | |
| totem model 1 vs. quad 11L Dav65mus,Kind of wondering if you can bi-amp your Quads? If you can, you might want to try letting the Sansui drive your woofer, and your Vincent drive the tweeter. | |
| Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what? Drubin,The best player that I had, and one that I think your friend would enjoy, especially with a little "tube rolling" to get the sonic qualities he wants is the Jolida JD-100. You can generally find an "unmodded" version on the Audiogon sale pa... | |
| Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what? Drubin,I used to own the NAD C542 and it was to my ears, a warm, musical type of player. And it also did good in the PRAT dept. The only thing I didn't care about the player is occasionally I would put a disc in the drawer and it wouldn't play and... | |
| Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what? Drubin,Just found a review of the Marantz CD5003 on the Postive Feedback website. It was mostly a postive review but it did say the following:"Where the Marantz falls slightly short of competing with NAD and especially Cambridge Audio players is i... | |
| Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what? Drubin,I'm guessing your friend is more into buying a NEW affordable player, than a used player which one would find on Audiogon (although I think you CAN get the best "bang for the buck" by buying used on Audiogon). Now if that's the case, then p... | |
| Find another DAC for my original Rega Planet? I know many people with CDPs that have had them since the 80s/early 90s and have never had problems with laser/transport failure. Just curious what is the failure rate of the laser assembly and/or transports over time? Also, are certain laser asse... |
