| Dented Tweeter? If you try what Sagger suggests, do not let anyone see you doing it. | |
| Do you drink when you listen? I usually listen with a beer and a bone. | |
| Best inexpensive integrated for PSB Gold speakers. A NAD 218THX will work well with those speakers if you are on a tight budget. You can use the 317 as a preamp. | |
| cartridge for rega 25,Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Thanks to all for the input. If I were to go with the Benz micro glider, which output should I get, L2( .3mV), M2(.8mV), or H2(2.5mV)? The SFP-1 has an MC gain of 57dB. | |
| Need advice: repair CAL CL25--or buy new/used CDP? Steve, a little 99% pure alcohol on a Q-tip will do the trick | |
| Need advice: repair CAL CL25--or buy new/used CDP? Have you tried cleaning the lens? I don't think you should give up on this player if you like it. Call Goodwin's Highend in Waltham, they are a CAL dealer. If you do give up on the CAL, the Sony 9000es is a dvd player with good cd quality and does... | |
| 2ch Preamp w / processor loop/ surround processor I use a Sonic Frontiers Line2SE with a Denon 3800 receiver through the processor loop for HT. By using a receiver with pre-outs, you don't need to buy a three channel amp to power your rear and center channels. | |
| What speakers of today sound most like old A/D/S ? Where are you located? I see used ADS 1290, 1590 for sale often in the Boston area. The place to look is the "Want Advertiser". | |
| 200w/ch stereo amps: best 1 for under 2000 used? I agree with Sean, you need more than 200 wpc in that big room. A Classe ca300 can be had used around $2000. I find my ca200 to be a good match with my Sonic Frontiers line2se, so a ca300 may work well with your line three. Hard to recommend an am... | |
| Sony 9000es mods and break-in I don't think you need to have your amp on to break in your 9000es. Search old threads, there have been a few about this. | |
| Best Threads of 2001 Great thread here. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1008097993&read&keyw&zzviolin. | |
| Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71?? You can't go wrong with an MR71. Always at least one on ebay. Take your time and find a good one. I have seen really nice ones go for around $600. Mine just came back from Audio Classics for an overhaul. It is a joy to listen to. | |
| confused about amp Another way to go is to get an integrated amp with HT bypass. You can use the Yamaha for HT only, using it's amp to power center and rear speakers. This assumes your Yamaha has pre-outs for the front channels. | |
| What is a good amp that cost no more then 3500.00 Please do not use the Yamaha as a preamp with those fine speakers. Since your $3500 must also include a new preamp, a used Levinson 383 or Jeff Rowland Concentra integrated will work well. | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Angelique Kidjo "Oremi". If the soundstage doesn't go outside your speakers on her cover of "Voodoo Child" your system needs tweaking or upgrades. |
