| Help Low Freq. From Totems? Is it there? Dr. Ken- I think you may give up a little bass with the totems. But focus on what you are gaining....wonderful, listenable, musical speakers. Buy a sub to give the movies rumble- but don't use it for music- the totems are good on their own. | |
| KEF 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2? I was so happy to trade my KEF 103.2's for modern speakers. It is amazing how technology has progressed in TWENTY YEARS! Move on! There are much better speakers available. Better with age my foot. What kind of stereo do you have in your '69 bug? | |
| Tandberg and Nak decks and Dolby. High 90's s/n on CDR without dolby. If your going to buy anythind, buy a cd recorder. | |
| Tandberg and Nak decks and Dolby. I have ALWAYS turned Dolby off. It compresses the music and I'd rather hear the hiss. Having said that, there are no "high end tape decks" anymore. It is obsolete. Digital recording has replaced it. You might as well be talking 8 track. | |
| MD102 vs UpgradedFT101A/MD100 Have you upgraded the Kef 104.2 ? It was my dream speaker in the mid-eighties, but truly is the weakest link in your system today. | |
| ARAGON 8008 MK.2 or McCormack DNA 225 ? I think you answered your own question. "both good amps" Some camps say one is better.....How about Plinius? Sa - 100III is great used amp, both burly and refined. Heard good things about McCormack and Aragon. You'd have to buy T.A.S. website and ... | |
| New Elvis Costello- Analog Masters? Spencer, that made me pull out my armed forces LP and play it!Cheers, Hammy | |
| New Elvis Costello- Analog Masters? I don't know, but my aim is true LP sounds MUCH better than the CD. You can always copy it onto CD. | |
| Beogram 3000 linear tracking worth resurecting? Steve - part of your resurrection will be buying 2 new rubber belts for the table. It will be worth it if everything but the needle works. | |
| Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V Anyone suggest Dynavector yet? 10x4 or 10x5 if you can afford it. I use the 10x4 w/ rb250 (stock with rega p2) with great results- It blows away the rega planet 2k CD player. Of course, I haven't tried SACD yet. I'm happy with the analog! | |
| Beogram 3000 linear tracking worth resurecting? I sold that table- It's very good for a non- audiophile table. B&O invented developed linear tracking with laser feedback to keep the cartridge in the center of the groove. It's much better than your kenwood. The problem is getting new cartidg... | |
| Rare Fisher KS-1 Heritage Series Speakers They are worthless as speakers....so I suppose you are asking about antique value? They are very rare. | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Minty, I use that old Pioneer for a boat anchor. It works much better than the separates of today! Those engineers must have been boating enthusiasts too! | |
| Desperately seeking opinions on amp I heard the BX1 (I worked for a Yamaha dealer at the time) and it is NOT TO BE CONFUSED with the MX-1000, which in my opinion, was more of the harsh transistor crap of Yamaha on a slide. (Though the cx-1000 companion preamp was much better). It wa... | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Indeed, be careful, because there's more to amp design than watts. NAD is a very good company, and what I had before I bought my first high end amp. This amp had less power but sounded much better for music. Still, I think NAD is a fine choice. Ju... |
