| Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong Bartokfan: Forgive my poor communication skills."You-know-who" does not refer to noble Jadis but to our "friends" in Hong Kong.Speaking of "friends", remember the scene in "Mars Attacks!"when the little people where scampering around with a loudsp... | |
| Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong Wait a minute.This could be interesting.Not that I'm any fan of you-know-who, but why couldn'ta great design be reverse engineered and sold for closeto its parts only cost (plus slave labor of course).I doubt if you could reproduce a 27K anything ... | |
| I love this hobby- Reminded of this quote from an ad in Stereophile: "Music is what life wants to be". | |
| On a budget 802N or 803D??? Dealer says 803D. Nice review Dr. Lou! | |
| B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One I used to drive KEF Q1's (typical 8 ohm, 2 way monitor) with a mighty Almarro 3 watt/ch integrated (EL84 tubes).I could play them louder than I needed with this amp.I don't see why 80 watts/ch would be "underpowered" unless you're trying to reprod... | |

| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? Only it wasn't called a caterpillar -it was an "ear wig". | |
| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? Seriously, ear candles are a scam.The proof? Look into the (hollow) ear candle after use.What do you see? Gobs of "ear wax".Next, perform the procedure without putting candle in the ear.Look into the tube. Same exact "ear wax"!Guess how I know... | |
| I think it is time to retire This post is meaningful due to the record industry's policy of NO RETURNS.If you open and play the disk and it stinks on ice "tough s**t for you, booby! You bought it!"In this day and age, I'd like to see new releases available for listening in lo... | |
| Time to sell my dvd collection? I'd hang on to your collection.Unless you're anal (don't really know what that means) and want everything "just so" (no bastard formats lying around).The fact that you purchased these DVDs means you have some interest in their content. Even if you... | |
| Any good $100 DVD players. Just bought a Sony 5-disk DVD changer with 1080i upsample and HDMI output for $141 at Best Buy.Four year warranty add $39 (good bet with anything having moving parts).Harmonic Technology 5 meter HDMI cable for $159.Can't beat it with a stick... | |
| Mute or pause whats "easier" on the gear? For CD/DVD, use STOP. Mute and pause leave the transport spinning (LASER on as well) causing wear and tear.I've often wondered if I should leave car in drive or shift to neutral at stop light.Ah, the mysteries of life... | |
