| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system It seems you WILL stick with Vinyl (i.e. not a novice just curious who might try and not stick with it). I’m 73, after many steps I ended up with a TT with 3 tonearms, 3 cartridges ready to instantly swap back and forth in a single listening sess... | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? Make that 'You Cost Me $750'. After I got them in place, a good listen to familiar music, I discovered 1 tweeter is blown. I requested and seller gave a partial refund. So, a pair of new tweeters, might as well put 4 new level controls, so now t... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? I NEED a conversion box like that, because I have a mini-din connector out of the back of the arm (mine's above the deck). Thus I have to convert from mini-din to rca, then rca out to the rca Phono inputs. Note: ground connection also needed. h... | |
| Decent mid fi with Onkyo tax-nr809 I agree with OP. Prior Onkyo AVR TX-NR626 sounded darn good, 5.1 and 2 Channel Stereo. (Idle, I needed more HDMI inputs)) Current Sony STR-DN1080 also sounds darn good. 5.1 and 2 Channel Stereo My small Home Theater, I often use DIRECT, or chan... | |
| Using a mono speaker instead of stereo? I think what the OP is hearing is the result of reduced distinction comparing mono to stereo. If you proceed with the project, I suggest you pay careful attention to the precise matching of all components. DISTINCTION It’s the word I choose when... | |

| AR-2ax Level Controls. Originals: 16 Ohm Rheostats. Replace with????? The new L-Pads were TOOOOO big. A pair cannot get close enough together for the shafts to fit thru the existing holes in the crossover board (1-3/4" c/c). Returned for full refund to Parts Express. It turned out that my existing Level Controls ne... | |

| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? OP, Happily, you only cost me $500. for the pair of AR-2ax speakers I just bought/fixed. Happily they fit in my office, and sound great with my little 10wpc Luxman Tube Amp. (they are not very efficient). so, out with the small Wharfedales and Su... | |
| Braun Audio. Dieter Rams Designer roxy54 I jump about on hifishark for fun. My Tandberg TR2080 died. I’ve been learning all the cool stuff Tandberg made, very wood oriented. Then looking at vintage turntables, somehow a ’Brown’ showed up, got me curious, turned out to be Braun, l... | |

| Braun Audio. Dieter Rams Designer fuzztone I bought a Braun coffee chopper at Design Research, 57th street, NYC 1967 when in college. It still works. After a lotta years, I wrote them asking for a new blade, got a letter back, one sentence. "Your unit is obsolete". No... | |
