| How can anyone afford this ? What I don't understand is how you can enjoy a stereo at any reasonably loud level in NYC? Small rooms in apartments and neighbors on all sides seem to preclude and decent listening volume. I understand music can be enjoyed at more modest volumes,... | |
| What CD Palyer I have your budget and am waiting for the oppo bdp-95 to come out in the next few weeks. | |
| Need to select a pair of main speakers for HT My experience is that you will be unhappy without a sub unless you get large main speakers and large main speakers will cost more than adding a sub, especially when you consider the additional wattage from an amp neeeded to drive them. "Deep/stron... | |
| Headphone/Amp Combo for under $800 I have Senn HD 600 which are amazing. I went with them over the 650 as most reports were that the two were basically par minus a smidge of bass. I thought about getting a headphone amp, but was quite pleased with the sound from the headphone outpu... | |
| Integrated amplifier recommendations, Please I ended up with a receiver so I could go with home theater in the future and use it as a preamp. If you are just doing two channel I would consider a vintage fisher tube based integrated amp. Nothing sounds that good at the price they are availabl... | |
| How long do you wait for a check to clear Check, paypal, USPS money order, cashiers check, even cash (fake bills) you can get scammed. Even wires can be undone (hard, but doable). Focus on the person first, and then the payment method. This is why you should deal with people you can ident... | |

| Spending on dac vs amp DACs depreciate and personally would buy something I would be happy with long term and something that is just for now to get by as opposed to buying two things that are not really want I want but are in proper proportion pricewise. To that end, I ... | |
| Suggestions for used reciever and player? I can't help with the DVD, but I picked up a marantz receiver off a seller here used for $400 sr-5004 I believe and it was vastly better than the price would reflect and gave me everything I needed (HDMI inputs 7.1 etc.) including good dac perform... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 Listened to 1.7s and bought 1.6. I could not tell any real difference other than a smidge better base in the 1.7 so the $800 price difference between 9/10 1.6 used and new 1.7 was not justified to me. Also, I disliked the look of the aluminium cap... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 I don't have the same amp, but the gold lion KT88s sounded the same if not better than either the original RCA 6550 or Genelex GEC KT88 or original Sylvania 6550 I have tried. The gold lions are expensive ($200 a quad) and I run my amps 6-8 hours ... |
