| Thinking of putting to rest ESL63 for Harbeth M30. I often wonder how many Quad owners have had multiple sets because they sell a pair and wind up buying another and another and ETC. Nothing else sounds like a Quad, especially 63's. Knock yourself out and try other speakers but there is a high pro... | |
| Wilson Audio MAXX resistors Polk 432 has the basic information correct and Jerron represents Wilson with class and impeccable knowledge. Was at a dealer in DC when I first heard about the resistor issue. This dealer highly recommended that the resistors be changed and claime... | |
| Best modern speaker to match old Mark Levinson The easiest advice is to find ANY speaker that you like. The ML 23.5 will drive anything short of a dead short. The amp had the then ML sound which was just a shade dark but overall one of the classic amps ever made. I have never heard a speaker s... | |
| kt-120 or kt-88? I have been using the 120's since they first came out but my memory of the change from the 88's is that the 120's deliver more power and have more 88 magic than the 88's. Someone calls the 120's 88's on steroids. I kept a full set of 88's in case ... | |
| Prima Luna or sonic frontiers or audible illusions I love my SF equipment for two reasons. It all sounds great and is dependable. Second, Chris at Parts ConneXion who designed most of the SF has a full repair and upgrade program. He is knowledgable about the equipment and the TUBES that work best.... | |
| Child-Proof Speakers The most child proof speakers I know of are the Yamaha NS1000 monitors. All three drivers have strong cages. You can get them used for @$1000 on up. They are now a "cult speaker" and extremely loved by those that love them. They may not be exactly... | |
| Velodyne only sub with remote volume control? From one old guy to another... The Rel G-1 has a volume control for both volume and crossover. Mine is great but mostly set and forget. Expensive but world class. Good luck. | |
| Amplification for stacked quads? I owned the 509's with Quad 63's many years ago and as expected thet were magic. I was told the 509's were designed for Quads. In the course of selling them, I bumped into a real 509 fan who told me how much better the amps could be with some upda... | |
| PMC OB1 & Mark Levinson 23.5+26s combo Your question is rather vague so here is some basic information. I don't know the speakers so I looked them up. They pose no special problems and are an easy load to drive. I do know the ML very well. The 26s is still a world class pre. If it has ... | |
| B & W 801 Series II Vs Yamaha NS 2000 These are two entirely different speakers so the music you prefer will be important. Both can be excellent in different ways. The B&W's are "british speakers" and literally define the concept. They tend toward polite and refined. They can be s... | |
| Refinishing Yamaha NSM-1000's A relatively easy task. They make veneer's out of many types of wood, to get the idea, think of what is called a "door skin." It is a roled up sheet of a veneer of your choise that is then contact cemented to a door which gives you a "real wood" s... | |
| Sota Sapphire arm help? For what its worth...The Sota can handle all the arm you can afford. The Rega type arms including several companies that make some truly great arms, are an easy solution. With Origen Live, the solution to the arm hole problem in an MMT board was a... | |
| Service on Marantz 10 b Thank you. One channel has a random lowering of volumn. All tubes test good.Denny | |
| Rel G1 vs. B1 Not really a fair comparison but... I own the G1 and am completely impressed. Use it for very high end stereo and seperate good video system. Video as expected gives you the sense of a charging rhino with two big balls as opposed to my sense that ... | |
| Antenna for Marantz 10B Crooner,Thank you for all the valuable info. I tested the tubes with a tube tester I bought on 'gon a while back for my other tube stuff. When I install the balum I will note which tubes were marginal since I will need to order some soon. Again, t... |
