| First Stereo System Help I don't know if it's still available but, LP Gear.com has listed on their website a new silver Brio 3 for $449. I saw another website which has them @ $499. You may want to check out. | |
| First Post Looking for Integrated Amplifier You will need a pre-amp out rca's w/you're int. amp. I know the Nad 326BEE has them but the 316BEE does not. I'm running a small NAD 302 which is rated 20w per ch. and does a fine job w/my bookshelf spks. I'm using a Definitive Tech sub w/this sys... | |
| First Stereo System Help If you're really set on the Rega fono mini, i'd just go ahead and buy a Rega Brio 3. I saw a website which has a new silver one for a very attractive price. (But please note no headphone jack on the Rega. IMO, you'd get more bang for buck buying a... | |
| First Post Looking for Integrated Amplifier I would look for an NAD, Marantz PM6004 (New $399) or if phono is really important to you, prehaps a Rega Brio 3. (No headphone jack on the Rega though.) I'm using a little NAD 302 Int. amp which is a VERY nice sounding and has plenty of juice at ... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile I'd buy it all used unless I got a great deal on new equipment. I'd get an int. amp and some floorstanders which have great bass. (Paradigm comes to mind.) For a source, tuners are cheap and plentiful. Same for CD players. $300 int. amp., $3-400 s... | |
| Wiring main panel box for dedicated 20amp line. A sub panel would be wired via a 4 conductor wire (10-3 w/ground for 30a or 6-3 w/ground for 50a.) BUT the neutral and ground of this wire would go to the same neutral/ground bus bar in your main panel box so I don't see any gain or difference unl... | |
| New speakers for an old receiver Once owned the 2218B and agree it had a warmer sound. Therefore, I personally would match it up w/an efficient and neutrel sounding loudspeaker. I have a gut feeling the KEF C300 would make a very good pairing. I'd bring the receiver in to an audi... | |
| Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc.... PSB Century 300i bookshelf spks. are exc. Vifa D19 tweeter. Beautiful tonality. Engaging spk. Always wanted to try out B&W DM 305 floorstanders b/c of their paper woofer and soft dome tweeter. Mission also had some wonderful older offerings. T... | |
| Looking to get my first amp, speakers and turntabl I'd take a little trip to the DC area and check out the dealers there. I'm assuming you prefer floorstanders vs. bookshelf spks. Paradigm has exc. spks. current and former models which would serve you well. (PSB's as well.) I'd personally get a re... | |
| A Novices Impression of the Sony DVP-S9000ES I'll tell you about some really great affordable spk. wire which I'm using right now. I had to order it from England but the cost of shipping was reasonable and the wire is really, really good. Atlas Equator mk2. Very pure copper 6N and roughly 14... | |
| A Novices Impression of the Sony DVP-S9000ES Read your article just now. That's a nice looking Sony. $175 sounds like a steal BUT, keep a spare if parts are no longer available. Same goes for the 855. Phillips CDM-4 transport I believe. The 855 lacks a certain refinement, IMO. But, in this c... | |
| A Novices Impression of the Sony DVP-S9000ES Enjoyed the RCD-855 as well but its been awhile. I remember I changed out the RCA plugs for better quality ones. Internally soldered very pure copper wire from board to plugs. Also, I believe I either changed out the power cord or added an IEC cha... | |
| speaker wire termination At the amp end, alot has to do what will the amp binding post accept. Most all will accept a banana connector/bare wire. Not all will accept a spade. On nearly every one of my amps/int. amps I've changed out the binding posts. I like Superior Elec... | |
| Speaker cables for NAD C356 and PSB Image B6 I order some Atlas "Equator MK II" spk. cables recently and they are superb. Very pure 6N copper 14ga. Can be order from England for a very reasonable price. I believe it was 5pds. for a Metre. (Bare wire) Shipping was around $10 and arrived in a ... | |
| Best Powercord for a TV? I went and got from a computer store a generic/standard 18 ga. SHIELDED power cord. It seemed to have made a difference from the unshielded version. In my case w/my TV (LG 42LD 520) the picture quality is superb. Don't feel the need to "upgraded" ... |
