I need a replacement preamp for a TV pre tuner and stereo system. @kofibaffour Both of these units are AV processors. If I replace the Marantz, I would like to get a Trinnov Altitude or a small Lyngdorf. However, getting it approved by the wife, without many convincing and understandable non-audiophile reason... | |
I need a replacement preamp for a TV pre tuner and stereo system. @jeffbij I plan to keep the Marantz processor for all sound processing, HDMI switching, etc. I am only interested in replacing the BHK Pre Amplifier which caused my speaker popping problems. When I removed it from the sound chain, the popping di... | |
I need a replacement preamp for a TV pre tuner and stereo system. @jasonbourne71 I am currently listening to the Marantz AV7703, which is hooked directly to my amplifiers. I think I can hear all that is part of the song, but it does not seem to have the tonal range, harmonics, and vibrations that the PS Audio... | |

I need a replacement preamp for a TV pre tuner and stereo system. @kofibaffour Right now, the budget is open. The higher the cost, the proportionally higher the quality must be. firstonetallguy | |
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups @ga_audio Thank you to all for this report on the Weiss 204 DAC issues and the manufacturer's terrible customer support. I was seriously looking into this purchase. I now do not want any product from this company. | |

Is it the gear or the ears? @ bjpd57a1 Thank you for a well written piece that caused me to slightly soul search myself. Nah, doesn't apply to me. | |
NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @ willrich47 A useful analogy. Tekton speakers were never designed for the way they look; they are designed for how they sound. Ignoring the inclosure visual aesthetics saves a lot of money in production. The builder wants to give the "every... | |
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @stuartk Wow. This was a wonderful explanation of what Jazz is. I listen to Jazz almost as much as Rock and Roll but I dislike heavy improvisational Jazz. Your descriptions of the different types of Jazz and the various interpretations real... | |
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? Due to the amount of internet thievery, I will never purchase any item under the F&F option. I see F&F and I immediately mistrust the transaction and/or the dealer. | |
Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? I learn about any interesting audio equipment solely through reviews from magazines, the internet, or YouTube videos. Over the years, I have purchased a very good system. The speakers, not listed, are the only items I would not buy without hearing... | |
