| Marantz CD 72 problem Not sure about the 72 but I had the same problem with my Marantz 63 mk2. Seems that not only did Marantz put the RCA connectors too close together on the back of the chassis but for some reason the female RCA's they used do not make a good tight c... | |
| Help my speakers are farting,,,, Actally, a Dutch Oven is when you let loose a big stinker in bed and then pull the sheets over her head till she passes out from the smell or screams mercy. Hmmm....honey, I'll let you out if you'll let me buy those monoblocks I've had my eye on. | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? I second the B&O suggestion. Many years ago I had the same problem but, instead of foot falls, it was trucks on the road outside that were causing the problems. The Technics couldn't handle it so I went to a B&O radial tracker. (I think it... | |
| Effects of magnetic fields I'm still trying to figure out what the magnet in a Verdier TT must do to the field around a phono cartridge. Must not be a problem but you would think there would be some effect. | |
| Dq-10 Rotted Speaker Foam Repair I did this job about 6 months ago on an old pair of DQ-10's and it's pretty easy. "Simply Speakers" web site has a good step by step tutorial. BTW you do not remove the 1.5 inch wide cardboard spacer (looks a little wood like)that surrounds the co... | |
| Turntable suggestions for under 1000 New or Used Keep an eye out for an older Gyrodec. Good looks, great sound and they're easy to upgrade to current specs. I just bought one with a decent arm for $700, put a $300 cartridge on it and I'm in heaven. | |
| Looking for Silent Fan Cooling f my ARC Tube AMP Usually the higher priced squirrel cage fans seem to be more durable as well as quieter. I've used these in high power HF tube amplifiers. In this case the bottom of the cabinet is pressurised and the air moves through a ventilated tube socket,up ... | |
| What budget preamp for my Monarchy SM70PRO amp? What about a Superphon pre by Stan Warren? I bought mine pretty cheap and it's not bad. | |

| Budget amp for Dahlquist DQ-10's Update. Well, the Bryston 4B Pro came in, and since it only had balanced inputs, I had to promptly cut the RCAs off one end of my cheapo Radio Shack Fusion interconnects and solder on a pair of XLRs. I fired up the 4b, Marantz 63 and the Superpho... | |
| Budget amp for Dahlquist DQ-10's Thanks for all the great suggestions. Although, I would have liked a used DNA 2,Threshold, or a Classe CA300 ect.. economics reared it's ugly head and I've got a late model Bryston 4B pro on the way. I've heard that the highs on these amps are a l... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? This may be a little off topic but I think the comparison is worth while especially in regards to the tuner sections in recivevers or for that matter separate tuners. As a ham radio operator many years ago I ran into much of the same issues with t... | |
| Budget amp for Dahlquist DQ-10's Thanks guys/gals for the support and suggestions. I guess one of my worries is that the McCormack DNA-1 with 180 wpc might not be enough. I've heard these things like 200 wpc as a minimum. I know I should be worried about current output but am I g... |
