I have no experience with ClearChannel, I am happy to say.However, my point was that the so-called ... | |

| Move to NYC Apt -- Vandersteen 3A Speaker Woes It really depends. When I moved to an apartment in Manhattan from a big house in the suburbs, I had a similar concern and I ended up disposing of a lot of stuff that I later regretted.

| Plugging an Int Rec Pre-Out into another receiver? Sorry chadnliz, but without a fixed VC setting on the amp, he will need to rebalance the channel volume settings on the receiver every time he uses it. Remember, it's an integrated amp, not a power amp.Kal | |

| THORENS Vintage TT- Need help determining Model OK. My Thorens docs indicate the E53 in the era of 1943-1954 and, since I remember it, it was certainly available towards the end of that era. 1957 saw the introduction of the TD range.Kal | |
| THORENS Vintage TT- Need help determining Model It's an e53N idler drive, I believe, rather than direct. Older than the TD series. Fairchild arm.Kal | |
| THORENS Vintage TT- Need help determining Model None of those pix are accesible to me. What format are they in?Kal | |
| Universal Players: Video Quality? Of the ones, I've used the Sim Orbiter has the best video and outstanding audio. (Note that I did not assess the video on the Linn 1.1, so that evaluation does not include it.) I slightly prefer the sound of the BelCanto PL-1A and would 'guess' th... |
