| New Budget CD Player I just opened up my 855 and unless you move the transformer(which I did) the IEC chassis plug is a tight fit (vertical mounting w/the factory transformer location or horizontally mounted w/the transformer relocated.)Replacing the stock chassis RCA... | |
| New Budget CD Player I'm not sure you would be getting a better CDP than the Rotel unless you're willing to spend quite a bit more. This is a really good sounding CDP in stock form, but w/a few simple and inexpensive modifications, this CDP will be more of a "giant ki... | |
| Looking to upgrade from Rotel 1062 integrated I won't worry what others may think, nor about the cost of one's system. You have a VERY nice system. (And you enjoy it!) Before you go a spend a fortune, have you considered perhaps "Tweeking" your !062? Upgrade the IEC chassis plug (Furatech) an... | |
| Any vintage tuners with a small footprint? Sony made in the 80's a really nice, small, great sounding tuner, ST-V7, I believe was the model #. Hard to find but you see them Ebay occasionally. | |
| HELP SUGGESTIONS FOR A BETTER SOUND Once had a mint 3B in my system, which I thought sounded very good. When I tried out a 4B-ST in the same system, the 4B-ST completely outclassed the 3B. No comparison. I know there's a power difference, but the newer model was much, much better IMO. | |
| W/ $200 what amp would you buy? I can tell you from personally experience that the Rotel RB-951 MkII is one heck of an amp. Rated @ 50w per channel, but way under-rated. Sweet little amp. | |
| Attaching speaker wire directly to crossover? Changing out the binding posts from an inexpensive factory stock to a decent quality set such as Superior Electric's, Vampire's, etc...can make a world of improvement. I personally would not consider wiring directly unless the spks were very, very... | |
| C7 Power Cord Comparisons? You have two other options. An adapter (C7 to 320IEC) or change out the C7 chassis mount to a reg. IEC. I have one of these adapters if interested. Bill | |
| Speakers and TT for NAD 3020 Micro-Budget System? This is what I would buy if I was in your shoes as far as spks. I checked the FS section here under "Monitors" and I saw a pair of Dahlquist M903's for the asking price of $125/BO. The seller (which I no not know) is located not far from you. Ask ... | |
| Pioneer Elite A-35r and Magnepan MMG's This amp will work at low/moderate volumn but will not do justice to the capabilities of the Maggies. I really don't think that your amp is for the MMG's. IMO. | |
| jumping back in, where should i start? This what I would do. I would sell the Rotel 940 pre-amp/tuner combo and buy Rotel seperate pre-amp and seperate tuner. Say a 990 or 995 pre and an older 850 tuner or a newer RT-990 tuner. These pieces are so much better sounding. The rest are fin... | |
| Considering a move to Exposure or Naim I understand your liking of the Tannoy F2's as I have the F1's and the MX1-1m's. These are great sounding spks. I disagree w/your statement that the Saturn and YBA outclasses the Tannoy's. I've listened to the Monitor Audio's for about 3 hrs while... | |
| Considering a move to Exposure or Naim Why don't you buy an amp w/enough juice to drive a rock? I just don't see anything w/less than 150w to give the drive and dynamics for rock. If you have a local dealer why not try a few loaners for a personal home trial? Also, alot of equipment ca... | |
| help me decide on budget phono pre Although it does not have a USB port, I highly recommend you consider the Creek OBH-9SE listed here on Agon. I have the 8SE and if it's anything like mine, you will be very pleased overall. Don't wait. | |
| display lights on NAD Yes, I find this a little strange too. Send NAD an email and ask what can be done. |
