| If You Could Only Keep 3-CD's LP's , Which Ones? Dylan, Blond on Blond; The Beatles, White Album, Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper, Super Session. | |
| MC Cartridge Suggestions? Thank you all, for all of your recommendations.Franks; I can get the Koestu for $1,500.00, so I'm looking at that as the top of my price range. | |
| Best Blues Rock recommendations? I'll add a second recommendation for the Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills, "Super Session" album. The two cuts of Albert's Shuffel, and Season of the Witch are worth the price alone. This is the album I would own, if I could only have one.The second alb... | |
| Are Definitive Technology BP 3000 TL worth their I own Def Tech's for my home theatre and would buy them again. I have the BP-30's in front, CLR-2000 center, and BP-10's in the rear. These are not the powered speakers you are looking at, but share the same mid's and tweeters.One word of warning,... | |
| Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ? I am adding a second vote for the LFD Mistral SE. I have the one Sam Tellig used for his review (paid $1,250, I think)and I am very happy. The SE is rated for 80 WPC but plays much larger. Mine does not have a phono stage, so I got a Rega FONO (Br... | |
| What's a great univ/prog. remote for high end ? I have a Phillips Pronto and I don't even know where the other six remotes are! | |
| Inexpensive Amp and Speakers If the sub is powered it probably has it's own crossover, run it off of a line out (tape, etc.) and set its' crossover a bit higher than your speakers low end. That is, if your speakers are rated to 45, set your sub at 50. Experiment. | |
| Inexpensive Amp and Speakers One of the audiogon featured dealers, AV123.com, sells the Swan M-200 ($299 new). I have not heard them but they have some very good reviews. One of the reviews is on Audioreolution.com, and has a link to the web site.Dave | |

I have their Cosmic, which I use with Senn 600's when traveling. When home, I have their Base Station 1, which is a seperate power source for t... | |
| Speaker Cable Too Short What to do? The solution is obvious, buy a second system to fit the cables you have, and longer cables to fit the system you have. Now, wasn't that easy! | |
| Still Contemplating New Amp Choices.. Larry:For my home theatre, I also have Def Tech's all around. BP-30's front, BP-10's rear, and a matched center. As I don't have the bass you do, I run a couple of Carver Sunfire Jr's to fill that need. My amp is a Carver Cinema Grand and I am ver... |
