| Which of your component purchases was "magical"? 1. GMA Europas. Replaced NHT's, and the WOW factor was unbelievable. 2. Cayin TA-30 integrated. Sweet, magical midrange. | |
| How to . . . . ? Jorsan, no, you connect the LT/RT front outputs from your HT preamp to one of the inputs on your tube preamp. Then the outputs from the tube pre go direct to power amp. This works best if tube pre has an HT bypass, but if not, set the tube pre at ... | |
| Retrofit remote volume to integrated tube? The Wellbourne kit looks really interesting. I wonder what the feasibility of putting the kit, including display, in a separate chassis and running shielded cables to it from the volume leads in the preamp. This way it could be easily returned to ... | |
| Where do you buy "NEW/Current" LPs? Music Direct and Elusive Disc come to mind off the bat. | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Paypal amazes me. If I transfer from paypal to my bank account, it takes 4 days to clear. But if I buy something and transfer from bank acct to paypal, amazingly enough, it goes RIGHT through! The 4 days is nothing more than a way for them to make... | |
| HT pre-amp/proccessor advise. The Sherwood is a fine sounding unit. I have had mine since last March and I am quite pleased with it. Also the support is exceptional. Jeff from Sherwood frequents AVS forums, and works with members there to resolve any problems encountered. In f... | |
| mmf-7 rubbing/friction problem ? The Mfgr has spoken! Try Roy's solution first, and if it still rubs then try the new thrust plate. A free solution. I would think if the shaft was bent you should be able to see it in the platter. I also have the MMF-7 and it is a quite nice sound... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. You might find a pair of GMA Europas for around $600. Very hard to beat in that price range. | |
| Animal damage to system I had a ferret who liked to climb in through the port of my NHT VT2's and fall asleep. He never did any damage, but it took some heavy bass to coax him out of there! I would up buying some plastic plumbing grates at home depot, sanding them smooth... | |
| Trying to decide, please help? You are going to need a phone pre with the Manley, that will up your cost some and close the difference. | |
| What's up with Talon? If Mike was on vacation, then there is no excuse for ther not being a simple message on his phone line indicating such. That tech has been in place for many, many years. And an auto-reply for his email stating he is vacation until such date, and t... | |
| How do laser disc's look on plasma TV? Early LD's had analog audio tracks only. In the late '80's PCM digital tracks were added. Any player I am aware made after that point will play both the analog and digital soundtracks. As Rwwear says, if it has Dolby Digital (it will usually say A... | |
| How do laser disc's look on plasma TV? Another issue with widescreen LD's on a 16:9 TV is that they are not anamorphically enhanced, so they will often come out "windowboxed", with "black bars" on all 4 sides of the picture, unless you zoom the picture. This zooming further reduces qua... | |
| Best amp for GMA Europas? Depends on what size room they will be in, but I have a Cayin TA-30, 35watts/channel, EL34 amp driving mine. Great combo unless you need deafening volumes in a large room. I rarely turn the volume past 10 o'clock. You can also email or call Roy Jo... | |
| GMA Europa owners use what amp? I also run mine two ways:For HT, Sherwood P965 with Adcom 555II (yeah, I know!). Very dynamic, but a can be a bit harsh. For music only, a Cayin TA-30 really makes music, even with only 35 watts/channel. I have a fairly small room, 13' x 13' with ... |
