| What kind of amplification for Martin Logan SL3 ? The ML's are not all that inefficient, they are rated 89dB/watt at 1M, which is about average these days. But they DO have a low impedence dip of 1.5 ohms. This drives most amplifiers just wild. Tubes suffer most, as their transformered output is ... | |
| Philips CD-80-a good deal? Agree with Ke1, the lastest quality CD and DVD/CD players have 20dB better S/N (that's 100 times less noise) and cost between $300 and $700. The CD-80's chipset was one of the best in it's day, but probably even your car's factory-installed CD pla... | |
| Harman Kardon AVR85 Agree with Scottht, that the rear level, is factory preset low and remembered by a battery-driven memory in the AVR85. Find the Rear Level option and increase the volume. The five amplifiers are an identical 85 watts, all channels can play at the ... | |
| Blowen Amp, Looking for replacement, any thoughts One can think of 20-times-2 plus 4-times-2 reasons NOT to get the ARC110b. The first 20, because it's a twenty-year-old piece of gear (not that it's bad for one to own quality stereo equipment for 20 years, but why buy NOW something that has defin... | |
| Turntable problem..setup The veritable 1219 had some problems, the two you mention being the most common. The contacts that mate between the headshell and the arm were pins that went into a plastic collar. If the headshell was bumped, the jolt would bend or push in slight... | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Boulder AE500. But let's not forget our NAFTA brother Canadians! How about them? This is a response from Mexico. | |
| Best CD player now made. You already know: The Sony XA7ES has no equal. Then again it's $3000. I am also happy with my old Sony XA339ES, now eight years old and still spinning. Also got a Sony 200 CD carrousel for $270 almost two years ago, and looks like I'll have to get... | |
| CD player plays some CDs, not others. Treat yourself to a new player, and send you Denon to get cleaner or fixed. If you have a lot of CD's get one of the 200 CD carrousel players. The inexpensive Sony is just fine, and you can daisychain three for a total of 600 CD's playable with on... | |
| Power Amp Suggestions At 83 db/watt your talking 60 watts RMS to go 100db (that's 600 watts peak) and unless you go into the Futterman's, there is only the ARC 150 or 350 if you can find one. Or you can forget tubes altogether in the amp stage and go with a really dece... | |

| Building amps from kits Back in the 60's & 70's kits definately saved you money. Available then were Dynaco, Heathkit, Eico. In the case of Dynaco, they had the finest and most powerful amplifiers available anywhere, either built or in kit form. With the Pacific Rim ... | |
