| speaker's for a 6 year old JVC D500 Here's a great one-box solution. Amp and speakers in one box. One wire from your TV, one power cord from the speaker to the plug.www.zvoxaudio.comSeveral models to choose from. I like the 315 for its combination of value and performance, | |
| Newbie needs info on modest laptop speakers Karelfd is right..for instance, if budget is no issue, then...http://www.headphone.com/products/audiophile-desktop/If you're strapped for cash and are limited to mass market products, these are widely available, sound okay and if you're a Sam's Cl... | |
| Newby needs advices... I would call Needle Doctor, Music Direct, Elusive Disc or Acoustic Sounds and ask them that very question. They can help set you up with a record/stylus care kit that meets your individual budget. The options are too wide to go into here. | |
| Rega Planet 2000 compatability ? Mine plays some CDR. Never tried it with CDRW. It doesn't play MP3. | |
| What is equal to the Rega Apollo for less money? That's the problem...the drives. Everything around them is solid and the remote is a brick. I can say that mine has been in regular use for over four years without a hitch but that's just me. All the more reason to spring for the a Rega -- one les... | |
| Preamp or Receiver? You can certainly get into a good preamp for $700 or below. Receivers below that price point will tend to have preamp sections that are nowhere near that of a dedicated unit.Check out Rotel, NAD, Adcom, etc...they have models in that range. The Ro... | |
| What is equal to the Rega Apollo for less money? Nothing IMO is equal to the Apollo at or below that price point. However, any of the Cambridge Audio Azur players are very good and still have that "British" character. I have the 540 in a second system and love it. Even better, they're very, very... | |
| Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan I didn't say "no signs of distress." A reviewer did. And Magnepan chose to display that quote prominently on their website. Because they know that asking someone to drive $949 worth of speakers with $9,000 worth of amplification is insane. And as ... | |
| Low Hours Phono Cartridges? I've also found that most sellers are honest. I've bought a few "low hours" cartridges from respected A'goners and have been very satisfied. I also bought a few "high hours" cartridges just so I could try them out at a very low price. As for the "... | |
| Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan In Bfrank's own words:"want something that can drive the small Maggies without struggling (don't need ground shaking volume here), and I want something that sounds *good*. He's done shopping. | |
| Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan Wow, don't go scaring the guy, Iplaynaked.On Magnepan's own website they quote a reviewer stating:"Using my Sony receiver, I was able to drive the speakers to satisfyingly loud levels, but I had to crank the volume control higher than usual. My re... | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers Casey, there's some good stuff on that list. But I would start with the Cambridge Ensemble system -- it's good and you can't beat getting it for free. I never heard the Ensemble II, which I believe is a scaled down system with one bass unit instea... | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers For FREE? I'd take Microjack up on his offer. Those Cambridge Ensemble systems were pretty good. Enjoy the system you have now while you save up for something better. BTW -- I just checked around and The Stereo Trading Outlet has brand new Mission... | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers I'm with the others....I'm not sure why you want what you want. If you're thinking you'll get more bang for your buck, that's probably not true since new efficiencies in manufacture mean that many moderately priced speakers of today can outperform... | |
| Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan Holy you-know-what. If you found a Rotel RSX-1065 for less than $300, you got the bargain of the century. You do realize that a new one was over $2,000, right? Anyway, I'd say your done shopping. The 1065 is actually overkill for your setup. Enjoy... |
