New Analog system. where to start?
I dont know why, but my last response seems to have been lost..... I give up anyway.Kgb540: One more thing. Believe it or not, an Adcom GFP-565 has a very nice phono section in it and can be had for about 200.00 almost anywhere.I would suggest a l...

Am I going insane?
I just took my home theatre and hooked it to that Suburban on www.502ss.com . It sounds a lot better than when I had it hooked to my Onan diesel.Nuebilder:Watch out for my big van man, (said like the Arnold S.) "I will crush you like a bug" :>)...
