| Record Cleaning Backlash I have tried (with my VPI 16.5)the Walker system, and MoFi and disc doctor, and never really noticed a huge difference between them. The steam treatment method does do a great job on really dirty records.But I am now having another problem. Lots o... | |
| Newbie - Which USED Amp & Preamp for under $2500 I agree with the - SPEAKERS FIRST- mantra here. That really decides what all of the upstream gear should be. I have a Magnepan based system, which I love. But that means powerful amps, and then certain types of mellow upstream components (tube pre... | |
| Advice on adding a sub to my system I second finding the Vandersteen used. For music it's almost impossible to beat. If you need a new sub, some of the smaller Outlaw audio subs I have heard have been abolutely great for the price. | |
| REL Studio III vs. JL Audio Fathom 113 I had the F113, and thought it was fantastic; deep, very very fast and woderfully built. But I switched to another sub and eventually ended up with the Rel B1. I have never found it slow at all, could just be my set up, but I think it's the fastes... | |
| Bi-Amp Crossover Advice Ajackson1,Thanks, that's good info. I'm thinking more and more about, THE BEASTS. They sure look good. | |

| What's best amp for around $2000.00? If you can find a used Innersound ESL they usually go for about $1600 and it is an abolutely sublime amp. Parasound A21 is another nice alternative. | |
| Dual source speaker switch The easiest way to do this well, is to get a 2-channel preamp with Home Theater pass through. Many, if not most, of the preamps made in the last 5 yrs have this feature. It can be added to older preamps by qualified techs as well. | |
