| Old Sota Turntable Questions A new belt is probably all it will need. If you have problems with the power supply, contact me-usually an easy fix.Setting it up properly is most important. | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Do you really think there is a powered speaker with internal amps anywhere close to the Atma-sphere's? Who ever said you have to match amps to speakers anyway? If it really has become a "bother" consider something like a Geneva and be done with it... | |
| A friend wants to buy this amp Onkyo PA-MC5501 The Mac will be that softer "mac" sound (which I love in my 6 channel mac). The Mac is extremely well built and will take a beating. Furthermore, the Mac will gladly handle lower impedences than Onkyo's are known for. Many Onkyo's don't handle low... | |

| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier Wow, if you hadn't mentioned the brand, I would have sworn you were talking about my music hall. It's been shipped all over the country to have the same issue worked on. It's now a $1000 doorstop. | |

| best 12ax7 tube with jj el34l for Jadis Orchestra I think that mullards have a little more sparkle than telefunkens but may not be as robust. Amperex seem to be a little softer. GE's can really brighten things up. 5751's were always to "forward" for me. | |
| primer on buying vintage tubes? The good thing about 6922's is that they have really long lives in the scheme of things. Usually 5000 to 10,000 hours. We all have our preferences but most prefer NOS. I agree with the comments about ebay.Buying from here or audiogon is usually sa... | |
| New Revel Salons coming? Perhaps 200 hours of breaking time? Go on vacation for a week (24 x 7 = break in) then they will sound great. | |
| Cheap Tube amp Way too little info to give advice. Do you want an integrated amp? Is the 10 watts in the Jolida enough? What kind of speakers are you driving? Jolida can be a good start but make sure the model you pick will do the job. Also, I always plan on re-... | |
| Bluetooth DAC Apple Music service Have you considered a bluetooth receiver with separate DAC? I have an Audioengine which works extremely well. Everything is dependent upon the source and the DAC. Yes, the bluetooth connection will limit the quality a bit but the source and DAC ca... | |
| Receiver HDMI problem I would think that too long of a run would simply degrade the quality? Do you get any sound?Have you tried resetting the marantz to the factory defaults? If you have a configuration problem that may fix it. | |
