| If Caveman Had Stereo Any votes for the 60s band, the Troggs? | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? Thanks for all the responses on this....the Dremel solution worked really well. Only took a few minutes and now the connection to the amp's binding posts are rock-solid. Now I'll do as the Doobies suggested and listen to the music. | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? Thanks sonvolt…..you must have gotten time-off for good behavior and be back in the game. | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? Thanks for all the responses/ideas....I'll go with the Dremel tool and test my patience in taking things slowly. In fairness to Accuphase, I should have stipulated I bought an older model amp (P-450) from another Audiogoner, but the newer amps may... | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? No, the amp won't accept bananas....that's the problem. I thought of the spade to banana adapter, but I'm running into the same problem. It's hard to find an adapter with a spade larger than 5/16". Thanks for your suggestions, lowrider57.I do have... | |
| Polarity Conundrum Thanks for the responses....the one source that I'll also have connected via XLRs has the US-version polarity arrangement, so that helps rather than hurts the situation. My speakers are passive and I am using a sub, but it is connected directly to... | |
| Comparable quality integrated Amplifier. If you are open to pre-owned gear, the Musical Fidelity A-308 gets my vote. I bought one a couple of months ago and have used it in two different systems, one with Vandersteen 3As and the other with PSB Stratus Silvers. It sounds excellent with bo... | |
| My Feet Hurt That is a great question and I thought about doing that....only problem isone of the old feet was so worn (the rubber), the screw-head scraped the surface beneath. So I think I tossed them, or at least the offending one. If I find the other three,... | |
| My Feet Hurt Thanks for the tip....that was the first thing I did. The seller of the feet (who also repairs Thorens) suggested I check a switch that controls that function. That's my next step, but I don't see how replacing the feet would have caused a problem... | |
| Amps with meters ... I have two Pioneer Spec-4 amps and can't imagine them without the big meters. When I'm really into the music, I'm too busy dancing around to be distracted by them. Also have an Accuphase E-202 integrated that has power meters, but they are defeata... | |
| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? Thanks for the tips, Bob.....from the responses so far, it looks like the 3As will sound good with most amps, but will perform best with modded versions. I'll probably look into having the DNA-125 upgraded since that is the best all-round amp I ow... | |
| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? That leads me toward the B&K 200.7, which even though it is a multi-channel amp, sounds very good in stereo mode. It can seem a little forward at times, but that may be a good thing with the 3As. It definitely has sufficient power to drive the... | |
| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? That leads me toward the B&Ks, especially the 200.7 - it fits that general description to a T. Even though it is a multi-channel amp, it sounds very good in the stereo mode. The 3A Signatures are no doubt a superior speaker, but I am getting t... | |
| Component Stacking Question Stacking is usually done because of space considerations, at least in my case. But if I have to do it, I use a platform/bridge that I have a friend custom-make for me at little cost (usually around $50). Simple but effective. Personally, I would n... | |
| Is It Just My Imagination? You may be right about the dynamic range compression setting because the problem seems to happen when the program material goes from either very loud to soft or vice versa. And I may have been mistaken by saying it is just the center channel that ... |
