| Need ideas for replacing a Tandberg receiver. Rar1, I think your comment about accuracy of modern speakers is largely true, with perhaps a few exceptions.

| Why so expensive?? "Any product/service is worth what someone is willing to pay for it."Yep. Everyone has their own concept of "value" and "worth".Of course, good marketing doesn't hurt to boost perceptions of "worth" either! | |
| Why so expensive?? Hey, like any luxury item, if you got the bucks and having the best floats your boat, and everyone's happy in the end (particularly the vendor) why not?Personally, I'd rather go for value and donate the savings to charity or use it for other good ... | |

| Anyone Hear New Ohm Walsh MKIII driver upgrades? I have f-5 S3's and Walsh 2 S3's. I recommend both highly as very high sonic quality per $. The f-5 are simply out of this world...no comparison. No conventional design can compare. Maybe German Physic Walsh's, high end maggies or high end electro... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I recently acquired a pair of Ohm f-5, series 3 loudspeakers from Ohm. These were very reasonably priced by Ohm, especially with trade-in. As such, I decided to try them.These are the latest Walsh 5 Series 3 drivers that have been available for ju... | |
| Anyone here experience with Triangle Titus spkrs? I use Titus ES in my two channel home theater system along with a vintage Tandberg 2080 (100W) receiver and a M&K subwoofer with the high pass filter set at ~ 60 Hz.

| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge The fit to the headshell was tight on mine as well.When I aligned the cartridge using the Linn provided template, the properly aligned cartridge did overhang the front by a millimeter or two. This appeared to be the correct alignment,and I do not ... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? To get dirty/noisy records clean and silent initially, if needed, I give them a good bath using a very low cost but effective procedure that has worked for me for 20 years and my good vinyl still sounds like new. This is a procedure that should on... | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge The chart doesn't say the mass of a Basik Plus exactly ( I may be missing something in identifying my tonearm model exactly), but it does list a Basik LVX at 12.5 grams mass and also lists a Basic LVX+ with no mass specification, so my tonearm app... |
