| Furniture quality speaker stands? Nice job. I've found that it pretty easy to make T.V./Audio stands using nat.oak. The shelves are made from a cherry laminate particle board which costs little $ and matches real well w/the oak. Applied satin varnish from a spray can. A joy to see... | |
| is the Unico enough? Steve, the Unico looks very impressive and the price seems reasonable. The wooden remote is unique. You're absolutely right about power supply and current capabilities. If you decide to try this int. amp out, please post a follow-up as I'm a big f... | |
| Looking for spkr suggestions If I had your system and listening tastes I would look for a forgiving,warm,and dynamic loudspeaker. Perhaps a soft dome tweeter& a bass reflex design. Of the spks on your list, the PSB Gold/Silver/Bronze stand out in my mind. (The original go... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound Cal Icon Mk2. An excellent CDP for the $$$. Seen quite a few on the market lately. Upgrade the stock cord and provide isolation and you'd have a pretty good player. | |
| Opinions on New Reel to Reel Tapes I used to use Maxell UD 35-90B to good effect. These tapes were "back-coated" which I thought were much better than their standard version. (Allowed less saturation) In my personal experimentation many years ago w/Teac deck I foundthe TDK GX 35/90... | |
| is the Unico enough? I'm not familiar w/the NHT's but may I suggest you considera seperate amp/pre-amp combination. A Rotel RB-990 (200w.) would probably be a great amp to use. Used around $450. What I've heard this is a great amp. Perhaps a Rotel RTC-940/950 pre-amp/... | |
| Good but FLEXIBLE Interconnects Music Metre cables. Using the Signature and III's and getting fine results in one of my systems. | |
| Just received my tube integrated and i'm hooked I too decided quite recently to get into tubes. I wanted to start out with something small and inexpensive so I decided to buy a Jolida JD-102b int. amp. This amp retails under $600 and uses affordable EL84/12AX7/12AT7 tubes. Sounds very good inde... | |

| need help Unpgrading from CAL Ikon MK II I've also considered upgrading from my Icon MKII. A wonderful warm sounding player. I'll been lead to believe that the dac's inside this player are what make it special.Any thoughts on the Creek CD-43 MKII as a possible replacement? | |
| Kef uni-q owners help, to toe-in or not to toe-in? I have my Q1's toed-in right at my listening position. My room has the effect of reinforcing the bass and the speakers are only 6' apart w/only an equipment stand betweenthe spks. I listen at a distance of 7'. I do not have them bi-wired.(using Ki... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas I agree with you Mike that we need to be civil and realize that human beings have feelings and make mistakes at times. Mr.Warshaw should have, without any doubt, in my mind performed the agreed upon work. (This would have been the honorable/just/h... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas I've read all the posts so far and I want to wish you well Ernie. I can't believe the extreme poor judgement by Alan, the U.S Distributor of EC, not once but twice. This is no way a person is to be treated. I applaud F S Audio in their efforts to ... | |
| Source vs Target: where is the weakness? As long as we're on the subject, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" Hard to answer! I like "Ozfly's" answer "it depends." I personally think whole systems should be put together from the get go rather than mixing/matching this and that and... | |
| $500 total to get into vinyl, what would you buy? About 8 months ago purchased a used MMF-5 TT in pristine condition and am very very pleased with it. I like the fact it comes a very good cartridge standard and offers very good platter isolation.(Something to consider if you have kids or if peopl... |
