Seems right hand side is louder, need helps
Mike, if you move the speaker over 1 ft, does centering do the same? Also, have you tried actual source material and it still do the same? Could also be that your balance pot is off, or your gain control(s), you don't mention the components. 
digital tuners
I don't know that I could not agree more wth all three of the 1st posters. Get yourself a good analog tuner, digital readout if you wish(Magnum Dynalab being an example), get you the best antenna you can buy, outdoor preferable, for FM broadcast. ... 
Are Paradigm 9se speakers a good buy?
Get them, listen to them, and decide. They are always pretty much going to be worth $200. I like them at that price, probably would consider them at any price up to around $400 if shopping for used speakers. Others have and will do worse for more ... 
Bose makes more than speakers...
From that clipping, I now know why the Defense Dept has the need for a billion dollar budget. Think about it, Bose think tank gets put together to find out whose more gullible than the American public. Then 1 person reads aloud the article about t... 
tuners under 1000?
Depending on the money, there are a few choices. MR67 and 71 McIntosh, the 71 pretty much considered one of the pinnacles in tube tuners, the 67 just a good tube tuner. Easy to find and fairly easy to get serviced. Then you can also go find a Scot... 
Professional vs. Consumer speakers
People. Lets go a little lighter on the recording engineers shall we? Couple of broad generalizations made here, Engineers care more about what you hear than you give them credit for. Not only are there things like time constraints, artist who can... 
VINTAGE AR2- RESTORE, SELL OR JUNK ?
Sure they are worth restoring if you want to, drivers alone worth $100 or so to those that need em. You make the grills, I don't know if you have the cane type or the cloth, I have a very close match on the cloth if you need it to restore. Strip e... 
Thorens TD-520, any value?
I do kinda hope you are kidding as far as is it worth it,cause oh yeah its worth it. I don't know what the power supply takes away from it, but its worth many many hundred. 
Any one old enough to remember?
I understand you on the LPs, I don't have a bride but I did just get offered 1000+ lps that have been played exactly once to record on to reel tape, all I have to do is go pick them up a few miles away. I have also been offered the tapes as well, ... 
Any one old enough to remember?
Sonus Blue was one of my favorite carts in the world, I remember this set up as id it was yesterday, and if my memory serves me well, the arm and the cart were a good match. Would be some concern on my behalf about the coils in the cartridge deter... 
Help Me Get Out Of The Dark Ages
Wow, up to 3 grand to replace a pair of A50's! Geez, have you got tons to choose from. Was a great speaker in its day, and not bad today, still play with some(sadly in a way, more than just some) of the $500 and under stuff. I just looked at a pai... 
Cheap packing material
Sears is good for large boxes, my local Sears outlet will let me come down in the morning 1st thing and pick out what I want. Places that sell large office copiers usually have great boxes as well. Foam 4x8 1/2 or 3/4 thick sheets are available fr... 
Packing Peanuts-a waste
Go to any building supply store. Sheets of home insulating foam are sold($7 to $10) in 4x8 sheets in 1/2 or 3/4 inch thickness, With a box cutter or good sharp knife, you can cut, fit, tape and glue(I use the spray type of glue, better contact and... 
'crackling'when using volume ctrl
WHich brings up a point for me, where is the best source for Caigs price wise? Anyone really know? 
Kenwood L-09M monoblocks,........... worth fixing?
From two standponts they are worth considering repair. They have a certain collectability, and really they aren't that bad a sounding amp, especially if they can be fixed for 300 or less, but just reading the post again, your saying parts alone ar...
