EMIM from 4.5 infinity has anyone rebuilt?
scom@aol.com I would be a player on that. Let me know, i just sold a pair of 2.5's by the way I am at 615 260 9569 
Why is the turnover on maggies 1.6QR so much?
Size, probably is the big reason,no pun intended, you see and hear it all the time. A lot of times you just don't realize how big they are until your significant other(and I am being PC by not saying women) has seen them in the living room. Even t... 
Guitar beginner question
Pretty much with Dem, BUY USED and buy the best you can afford. Hardest thing is the world is to want to practice on a guitar that makes it difficult. I play and won't play a guitar or any instrument I don't like. Also, a musical instrument is the...

Tweaks just mental?
The best listening time of 11pm can be explained away by the glasses of wine,scotches(my choice)and other "tweaks" that are available for the system.Much of the experience is mental, the whole "hearing" process is bioacouistal/mechanical/synapse/e... 
Adcom 545 amp vs 545II
Jab is right in that you would bbe better off to get at least a 555 or 565 for a little more money, if Adcom is what you have to have. Most try to get 250 or so for a 545, 330 or so will buy you a 555 or 565, which I knoe is a 1/3 more, but I thin... 
Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's
I am going to respectfully disagree with a couple of posters on the power dept.. They are not the most efficient speakers in the world, but also don't get the idea that they will play loud if they have plenty of juice. If its in your office, I dou... 
Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's
IF you are used to the Quads, gotta go with the Spica's. Rt 3's are good, but the midrange on the Spica's just sneaks up on you letting you know how good it is. I would have to say the RT 3 has better low end, and actually more extended on top, bu... 
Value of Black Widow?
Arm is worth around 150 dollars, 200 if in great shape with box and everything. My opinion, still a good arm, especially at that price. Still a lot of cartridges it would and will work well with. 
need help on dynakit st 35
Sounds like a # of problems, You probably deduced the need for new tubes, and it sounds like the need for new capacitors. I would also be checking around for cold and loose solder joints. Check the values of all components if you can, after 40 yea... 
Best city between these two?
and judyc, yes I did 
Your System vs. Live Music, or how close to live..
To live? To honest to God really live acoustic music, no amps, no distortion devices, none of that? I will probably beg to differ with every post up and from here on out, and I will not make too many friends in the process. Not mine or any I have ... 
Need advice on best DVD for under 600 used
Well I just bought a Pioneer Elite DV 09 used for 300 dollars(ad here in a local paper)I see advertised for 500 to 700, and I do think it is a great unit. There is a Panasonic 1000 being advertised on the site for 6 something I think was a 3k mach... 
amplifier hum
I would wager its the transformer. Have you taken wire and grounded everthing to each other? And now I read your post again, why do you have a two prong post on a 220 amp? Did not come from Sonographe that way I am pretty sure. Run a ground wire f... 
How hard is it to admit you bought bad gear?
Oh God no, avguygeorge and others, I have made plenty of themand yes, more than I care to admit. Whats hard is thinking of which is the worse. I do think it might be as benefical though, especially to some of the newbies, and I guess really to som...
