| Integrated or Receiver? Yes, I am looking at the new Yamaha stuff now.One problem I am running into is trying to find a amp or receiver that will allow me to Biwire my 6 ohm Mirage OM 10's. Every amp or receiver I've looked at can't handle the lower impedance except whe... | |
| Integrated or Receiver? With a little searching you should be able to find a Yamaha A-S501 under $400. It would take most NADs to school IME. | |
| My entrance to Thorens Camp! Techical planning and more please chip in! Here's a link to the service manual for the TD-160.http://www.theanalogdept.com/svcman_145_160_165.htm Take a look at page 3. | |
| My entrance to Thorens Camp! Techical planning and more please chip in! Which manual? TD-160? | |
| My entrance to Thorens Camp! Techical planning and more please chip in! Gun oil is not appropriate for Thorens bearings. You want to buy some Mobil DTE heavy/medium. This conforms to the original Thorens spec, specifically designed for sintered bronze bearings. It can be found on Fleabay. The bearing well should be fi... | |
| Klipsch Speakers, Where Should I Look For The Best PRices The Klipsch Heritage line is much different from their tower speakers. I prefer the Heritage line for music, but for home theater impact, you're probably better off sticking with what you have.Did you know that Klipsch now makes tower speakers spe... | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated Buzz/Hum Glad they took care of you. Thanks for the update. | |

| Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega? Neither. Try these:http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/94317/Spendor-Spendor_A5_Stereo_Speakers-Speakers They’ll be far more similar to the KEF sound but have a smooth textile tweeter. Hands down one of the best brands for classical music. | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated Buzz/Hum If your Denon AVR has a two prong cord, that’s likely why it’s silent compared to the Halo. I think there’s a few manufacturers that expect customers to accept hum since of it’s not audible during playback. I’m not surprised by the tech’s initial ... | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated Buzz/Hum ^ Did they fix the problem? | |

| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible Wouldn't have any positive effect on any well made, internally shielded cable. Dumb. | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible I’d heard of CF bring used in aircraft to shield from EMF’sNot in any aircrafts I've touched, and that's been quite a few. Wrapping your cables in carbon fiber will do nothing but aid in draining your wallet. | |
| Any Spendor D9 owners out there? Thanks for sharing. I wanted to hear a pair of D7s but the dealer steered me toward a pair of SP2/3R2s. I found their detail and midrange far exceeded that of the comparable Harbeth. My next Spendors will probably be the SP100s s or D9s. |
