| dual 505-3 Just revisiting some of my old threads here...As a follow-up to this old post, I ended up getting an OM20 for the Dual for a combined cost of $250 and all I have to say is: I never want to listen to CD again, if i can help it.That is all. | |
| Speakers for Sansui AU-666 Bozak, eh? I've never really read anything about them, let alone heard them (i've heard OF them). I'll have to read up on them..Musicrover: How were the original tweeters on the A25s by comparison to the new ones? Did these Dynacos only come alive... | |
| Speakers for Sansui AU-666 Ths364 - Thanks for your suggestion - you're right! I should have mentioned my preferences. Actually, i enjoy all kinds of music - anything from Beethoven to Black Sabbath. Not really helpful, i suppose, but i guess i'm trying to say i want a good... | |
| vintage equipment repair Donjr: That's a nice offer; I'll take you up on that if i can't find a local solution.Apparently, Audio Oasis works on vintage kit...going to make my way over there before the problem gets much worse (when i can find the time, that is!).thanks again! | |
| vintage equipment repair Thanks for your responses so far, people. Much appreciated!Bombaywalla - I was a skeptic about vintage gear myself, actually...until i got a few pieces of my own, that is. When I got my Sansui up and running last year, i couldn't believe how good ... | |
| vintage equipment repair Buconero - have you listened to a vintage sansui? they sound pretty damned good, let me tell you. I seriously doubt that i could find another, better amp for what it will cost to repair this one. | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised I'm happy to hear that others have been enjoying old gear as well. Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier - The Sansui's headphone jack is apparently directly connected to the outputs. When I use my Grado SR325is through this amp, they lose the sligh... | |
| What amp to improve upon a Sugden? Celtic66: the previous epos es14 owner used a sugden a21 to drive them and he told me that it had difficulty at moderately loud volumes. I believe he used an older a21, so I wonder if the newer version follows suit. Whatever the case, i believe i ... | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? I have to agree with Missioncoonery... never been a fan of the Harbeths (albeit, I've only heard them in shops, not in my own home). And Shakey makes a good point, as well; nice to see Garebear voice his true thoughts after an expensive purchase a... | |
| dual 505-3 Thanks for the replies thus far.I think I will go ahead and simply replace the stylus with the OM40. However, I may also get the cheaper OM10 as well and swap that in when spinning less than perfect vinyl, as i'm told the om40 would wear out too q... | |

| NHT Model II Towers Oh, incidentally, I never really mentioned how they sound. The II's are quite tight sounding and have fairly strong pinpoint imaging, although not the most open sounding speaker in the world (although much better than most competitors of the day a... | |
| NHT Model II Towers I've had the II's and the 2.5i.The II were veiled sounding by comparison to the 2.5i. They use a less accurate, more forgiving midbass driver than the 2.5i. The tweeter is a semi dome on the II and I quite liked its sound. The 2.5i has a metal dom... | |
| budget speakers Thanks for the suggestions, people.Phasecorrect - i used to share your view of the atom in its original inception back in the day and have disliked paradigm since then...I heard the atom v6 at kromer in Toronto, paired with marantz's new entry lev... | |
| amplifier power consumption Tonywise -funny you should mention that. I was sitting around, trying to 'enjoy' some tunes the other night..fiddled around w/ the wiring a bit...Turned the amp off for a few moments and when it was turned back on, the left channel began crackling... |
