looking for the best music CDR's
Lori, you still haven’t told us what unit you are using to burn CDRs. Jd, I’m making an experienced SWAG based on the fact that there is less than a half dozen or so stand alone consumer recorders available. Also, I have seen more and more B&M... 
looking for the best music CDR's
Horsnit,What unit are you using to burn your collection? You gave us everything but this one very important piece of information.Music or Audio CDR's are getting harder to find. The best for my TDK and Sony stand alone burners in order of musicali... 
Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6
I use a Bryston BP25 with my Aragon 8008bb with great synergy. 
CD's no longer supported ?
I think what the TV talking head was reporting on was the Red Book code. Part of the licensing has run out so if you look at current cds you will most likely not see the "COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO" logo on the label side of the disc. A record man... 
Tyler/Salk sensible alternatives to Gallos?
Deliberate1, since you are now looking at Klipsch don't forget to check out some vinatage Altec 19s. IMHO, the Altecs are a better speaker, especially if the XOs are moded.

Best vintage Marantz receivers?
I have to go with the Marantz 2270 too. I purchased one in 1972 and sold it to my Uncle in 1974. He is still using it and it looks fantastic. About 10 years ago I told him he should take it to this tuner specialist in the NYC area and get the insi... 
Radio Shack MINIMUS 7 crossover upgrade
A DIY company offered a upgrade kit many many years ago but basically this is what you can do:1. Replace the stock gray capacitor with a 4.7 microfarad Solen rated at 250 volts. The old one may be hot-melt-glued to the crossover board so instead o... 
Not Another NuForce thread......
So what about my question on the RFI and EMI concerns? Has this issue been fixed 100% in the V2? If so, I will give the amps another trial in my system. I just don't want to burn through some more time and money if this issue is still going to int... 
Not Another NuForce thread......
Okay, everyone has their likes and dislikes of the overall sound signature of the NuForce amps. My biggest complaint about them (I did have a 9 in my system for a while) was the RFI interference with my Tuner and telephone. Did they get that fixed... 
problem with rega planet
My original Plant is about eight years old and works perfectly. I would contact the distributor and get it checked out by them. Rega has a great service reputation and will go the extra mile unless the unit looks beat up.Bartokfan, why do you come... 
Best "RedBook" player out there
Rega Saturn should be on your short list too. 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
It is great to see this pop up. My wife and I have sent cards to Barb to let her know she and Patrick are still in our thoughts. I hope she is doing well and has moved happily on to the next stage of her life. Very nice people for sure.Lou
