| I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile Rprince,The SADDEST part about your great advice is that it never entered my mind because the brick & mortar guys are so rare these days. BUT, we do still have a few in the Detroit metro area (we may not have jobs or viable auto manufacturers ... | |
| I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile WOW! Thanks to all of you for the great suggestions. I have to find out if she needs a tuner or other source other than CD. I like the NAD, Marantz or Cambridge integrated idea but it may have to be a receiver.To be honest, I really don't like doi... | |
| I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile Thanks Stanwal and Uru975. I am sure she doesn't want a turntable. I agree that a unit like a used Linn Klassik or Arcam Solo might be nice but it wouldn't leave her any funds to purchase the speakers.I could possbly try to buy the stuff used for ... | |

| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? Eyediver,WOW! Lot's of varied and good suggestions. I had an old Scott amp long ago and will confirm, as other have noted, that a Conrad Johnson MV-55 I had 15 years ago reminds me of the Scott and the MV-55 is still one of those amps that just ma... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Thanks Kgproperties. I just bought the RFTs from him and they shipped yesterday. I also found an NOS set of Bendix Gold pin 6900s from a dealer and bought them. I'll keep you posted. I hope I get the same great results you did.!! ENJOY! | |
| Linn Abandons CD Players Mofi,I'm with you on this one. I am not necessarily against new technology per se, but this very issue really struck me just today. My wife and I are out of town visiting her family this week for Thanksgiving and we are going to do our Christmas "... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Hifiharv,Here is what I learned about the EZ81 as a drop-in for the EZ80. The EZ81q is pin-compatible but draws nearly twice the heater current (1.0A vs. 0.6A). I am not sure if the transformers in the AMR have enough capacity to take the EZ81 but... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Thanks Kgproperties! You and I must have similar tastes. Your description of the Tungsram sound is exactly what I told Darren yesterday. I reviewed the original version of the AMR for Stereo Times and just had Darren send me the .01 update (with T... | |
| Any experience with EZ-80s, 5687s or Bendix 6900s? Sorry, I mixed these tubes up in my original post. The Phillips are the 5687s and the Tungsrams are the EZ-80s. | |
| Al Jarreau song question.. I think you may be mistaken. I don't think Al Jarreau did that song and it was an artist named Stevie Woods. He had a GREAT voice and I am shocked he didn't make it bigger.Check it out here on a youtube from his 1981 LP:http://video.google.com/vid... | |
| Granny says heah. Is it me, or is there no mention anywhere in the link provided by Mofi or on the Yanko Designs website if these Batphone Ear Extensions are actually for sale? I want to buy a pair and crack up my colleague. I do have a problem with my one co-worke... | |
| Are We All Going Mad? Shadorne, yer really ticking me off now. You Doubting Thomas type's are all alike. I was bald as a cue ball until I tried the Popeil Chia Pet System for hair growth. I rubbed a little elixir on my head and now I look like Sasquatch! Then I did wha... | |
| The great Soupy Sales died Dgarretson,Now you've gone and done it. Now I just remembered a late night TV Horror Film Movie host from Parma Ohio called "The Ghoul" that I also laughed a lot at in the early 70s.He also used to say "Pluck your magic twanger Froggy" and end his... | |
| The great Soupy Sales died Bander, I don't remember that episode but I sure wish I had seen it or could see it now. Just seeing Soupy's expressive face and that big grin has always made my day. |
