| Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding? IMHO....Sounds like either a loose connection or a bad set of phones. I don't believe that they should sound "thin". | |
| I have a vintage Westar WT200 radiogram console... You should probably have it gone over by a technician and recapped at the minimum before making that decision. "Recapping" old capacitors should not be expensive. Even though your unit "powers up" and seems to work fine, you really shouldn't use i... | |
| What are KT94 Vacuum Tubes? Might it be four KT 90's (KT90-4) that are specified? | |
| My speakers don't "dissapear" "Are your speakers wired out of phase?" Years ago, I had a pair of Rectilinear III's that came from the factory that were in fact, wired out of phase. I simply wired them out of phase from my amplifier and the problem was solved, but the take home... | |
| bullet proof amp IMHO....Crown. Their amps are truely bullet proof. | |
| Note for those who buy used equipment... Sounds to me like a BAD company policy that the company has not fully thought through. Electronic equipment should be relatively easy to fix (local guys in my town seem to do just fine for me). Not wanting to repair their own equipment just loses ... | |
| why the distorted sound? IMHO...If your tubes are more than a year old, they may be going bad. "Crackling" is the symptom that usuallly tips me to bad tubes in my pre-amp. The Cary has solid state rectification to my recollection, so probably the 6sn7's need replaced. I h... | |
| Metro shelving for your audio gear? From the looks of it, I would think it might vibrate quite a bit. | |
| Speaker Purchase OK. If you want pretty speakers that sound good too. . .Martin Logan (used, the SL3's, still supported by ML with parts if needed at reasonable prices). | |
| Speaker Purchase IMHO. . .Vandersteen 2CE Sig's, or 3A's; YBA Integre DT with phono stage, NAD T585 Universal player, and a Rega TT (ie the P7, fitted with an RB 700 arm and Clearaudio wood aurum Beta cartridge). You'll still have money left over for cables and mu... | |
| Preamp Suggestions?? IMHO...The Melos SHA or SHA gold editions (used) are in your price range and would be excellant choices. Happy Listening, | |
| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP You don't mention the stylus force settings. If your tracking too light, that may be the issue. Just a thought. Happy Listening. | |
| How did I do on a small budget? Looks to me like you've done your homework putting together a nice surround system. Did you me front floor standers, or rears that you still need to get? | |
| what do i really need 1080p for? I thought the same. 2 years ago I bought a Sharp Aquos LCD 1080i for the bedroom and loved it. This year we went looking for a TV to replace the one in the den. The Sony Bravia LCD was nearly twice the price of the Sharp, but my wife insisted the ... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Check out Audio Video Logic in Urbandale Iowa (near Des Moines). John may have drivers for Dunlavy, as I recall he purchased a "bunch of stock" when Dunlavy went OOB. |
