| FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's For me FedEx has been better than UPS since 1999. I did watch a FedEx guy throw my cellphone on to the porch from the middle of the street once. All carriers have gorillas and idiots, but UPS is bad and USPS worse. Some companies will use a freigh... | |
| Nakamichi Dragon I really doubt a good repair shop would have a chance at fixing a Dragon! Those things are very special and only a handful of experts. Heck, even changing belts is a major job. The guys that do it right use test equipment to select the best belts ... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers I started off making my own 12db/octave actives in 1976 with a TL074 op-amp, poly caps and metal film resistors, no pots. I did use manufactured crossovers to select the slope that I liked best, but after that removed it. The new LM6172IN opamps a... | |

| Marantz AV7706 vs Yamaha CX-A5200 - Stereo DACs quality I seriously doubt the DACs in either AV preamp is even in the same league as the Oppo. I haven't heard them, but the Oppo BD105 is pretty good, have one. | |

| Krell DUO 300 XD vs Krell Solo 575 XD I'm sure the upgrade would be noticeable. By increased fidelity, exactly what do you mean? What are you looking for, clarity, detail, noise floor, some kind of different sound? | |
| CYRUS X300 signature- Reset I could not find anything about a reset. Maybe you should contact Cyrus? The amp may need service anyway... | |
| HTB preamp and AVR turning on the same amp. Just use a switch. You could also add a power conditioner with a separated 12v trigger. What about a wi-fi outlet? | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers So many here on AG have no clue about active crossovers and the benefits. Actives can improve the entire spectrum, midrange is so much clearer and detailed. It sure does remove distortion like IM, the most irritating, just plain gone. I've mostly ... | |
| Binding Post Loose tweeter connection. File a claim for damage, if you can. Never except anything that shows signs of damage as that could mean there are other potential failures waiting to happen. If you're going to fix it, expect other problems down the line. Good luck! | |

| Nakamichi DR-10 Cassette Deck Repair That's true about youtube, but the REALLY good Nak guys don't post on youtube. The super Nak's like Willie are too busy with their grandkids. | |
