| Repair or replace My JM Lab Micron Carats I've listened to the various Kimber Kable speakers wires over many years in alot of different systems. I'm far from an expert, but IMHO the 4VS is the best value for the $. It easy outperforms the 4PR for only a faction more cost. I prefer it over... | |
| Repair or replace My JM Lab Micron Carats Are you sure it's the speakers fault and nothing else in the system? I would call JM Lab and see what/if is the $ and are replacement drivers available. One thing for sure I personally would replace the Kimber PR spk. wire to the Kimber 4VS/8VS or... | |
| Tuner Mavens Do you want a remote-controlled digital tuner/a non-remote digital or an analog tuner? The greatest audio bargains can be found in older tuners. I'm using an indoor antenna from www.ccrane. com called the "FM Reflect" which works well. (But, an at... | |
| Getting started, need amp recommendation If you can get by w/o a remote look into the Jolida 301 int. amp. Don't let the size fool you. (Wonderful sounding. Pre-amp stage uses 2 ECC 83 tubes) If you decide to go w/asolid state int. amp the NAD C-350/Marantz PM series would be fine choice... | |
| Any worthwhile indoor FM antenna's? Anyone? You might want to look into the "Reflect" antenna the ccrane.com sells. I believe it's around $25 and comes w/ a 30day satisfaction policy. | |
| Getting started with integrated-advice. You might want to call kiefsav.com in KS. Ordered many products over the years from them and their $$ and servicehave been excellent. They carry NAD. They might even have a demo. Bill | |
| Entry-level speakers I would recommend you audition the Energy Connisour C-1. Absolutely fantastic loudspeaker for small/mediun sized room. An audio bargain for I believe $300 retail. I've owned the Spendor S3/5(Superb loudspeaker), Harbeth's, JM Labs, Kef's, PSB's an... | |
| Re wire my speakers ? If you're pleased w/the sound, leave alone. Whether changingthe internal wire will have a positive effect depends on your expectations. If the wire is anything like the wire inside my former JBL L40 you will be shocked to see how small guage wire ... | |
| Todays Raido Stations suck When I was living in the Central Valley of California (near Modesto) a few yrs. back a new country radio station came on the air called K-Ranch. For about 2-wks w/o commercials every country songs you could image this station played! There were so... | |
| How to make your CD player/amp live longer ? My first CD player(Hitachi) which was given to me as a gift back in the early 80's is still working perfectly today. The same goes for my Kenwood KT7500 Tuner/KA7300 Int amp which I bought new around 1976. My father has older pieces which are work... | |
| Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K I personally would spend the vast majority of the budget on the speaker. You could find a nice older set of floorstanders for around $500 and the rest could go for a used int. amp and a source. For around $3 @ ft. buy Kimber Kable 4VS spk. wire an... | |
| Biggest value for the Dollar? DIY power cord made from Belden 83802 wire. For the $ (40) spent by far brought the greatest improvement to my int. amp. | |
| Best Budget Interconnect for MMF-5,XLPS & Jolida? I was using Van den Hul interconnects between my MMF-5 to Rotel phono pre-amp to Jolida 102b w/excellent results. If you can find some used Audioquest "Crystal" interconnects that would also be a fine choice. Bill | |
| Cheap--I mean really cheap--2 Channel Starter sys? There's a whole bunch of really great 27" TV's out there. I personally would look for one w/a flat screen and an invar mask. For a DVD Player I would look at the Panasonic RV-32. Wonderful player for under $90.(Plus there is a $20 mail-in rebate @... | |
| Someone help me Sound Too Thin ????? Sounds to me what you need is a speaker change. The speakers you mention will mostly allprovide a fuller sound compared to your present spk. If you have a JM Lab dealer close by, ask to attention the little Chorus 705. Very smooth sound (consideri... |
