| Cheapest Sweetest deal you've found From a thrift store- Maggie mg-1's for $80 and Chase tech's remote controlled preamp for $5 at the same place. Also AR reference component and interconnect cables together for $4. All in great shape. There was a Hafler amp for $5 but some geezer g... | |
| Why no trading? You know, when I first saw the beginning to this thread, I was amazed there were this many replies until I got to about the middle. I guess boredom will do that to you. Dan | |
| christmas music I grew up with the Maguire Sisters' Christmas album. It was always our favorite. I've never seen it on cd but I've probably outgrown it by now. My 3 teenage daughters probably have also. Dan | |
| Headphone suggestions I think the most important aspect in buying headphones is comfort. I've tried the AKG's and the Grado's with the "bowl style" earcups and they drove me nuts. They pushed on something just a little forward and below my ear and I couldn't stand it i... | |
| It was a good day at the thrift shop Johhny- Sorry I haven't answered for a while. I haven't been able to try it as a pre amp yet as I have no amps. Mostly integrateds and receivers. The decent used store I used to shop at got robbed and the guy now just works out of his house. But s... | |
| It was a good day at the thrift shop I just missed a Hafler amp. Some old guy got it instead. But I did get one of those Chase line preamps that adds remote control to older pieces for $5. It works fine. Dan | |
| HT speaker system for $1000? How big is the room? If you can get away with small speakers, try Athena bookshelves. Polk's smaller speaker systems don't sound bad. If you are going to listen to music on this system a lot, you might audition floorstanders and add as you go. 5 i... | |
| Buying Someone's Records: An Ethics Question My thought is just tell him what you are thinking. Give him the plusses and minuses for both sides. Then at least your conscience won't bother you and you might gain a friend. He might have already thought of all this and if you confirm his ideas,... | |
| The most romantic jazz ballads, nocturn or blues I still love Van Morrison's "Moondance" at least as far as semi-pop goes. | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? Fdalto--Proverbs 27:20--"Hell and Destruction are never full;So the eyes of man are never satisfied."I majored in psych also. | |
| Recommended one make systems? I listened to an all in one system that sounded good and wouldn't break the bank. Rega is known for good budget stuff. They would match and you can audition them in one place. Turntables, integrateds, tuners, speakers, cd players. They are always ... | |
| First cd purchase I bought two that I was very familiar with on pre-recorded on tape. This was so I could audition and compare the Rotel rcd965le and the sony 601 5 disc player. One was Matthew Ward's (Second Chapter of Acts) greatest hits and the other was a prais... | |
| What song best describes you or your life? Garebear--I agree with that one.Czbbcl-- Maybe a double album or a compilation | |
| Surround Speaker Confusion with Denon Receiver Good question. Doesn't your manual say? I'm pretty sure there aren't any dvd's with discrete 7.1 so it might end up being a moot point anyway. They might just be matrixed. Sorry I couldn't be any more informative. Dan | |
| size and brand subs? I bought a used ASW CDM a while back and it is way too powerful for my current needs. So I dial it at about a quarter of a turn. Even then, it can sometimes be overwhelming. Maybe I'll get to move into a bigger house and really get to use it to it... |
