| Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and..... I had a DJH for a few years. It doesn't have HT bypass, but it was one of the best sounding preamps I've ever heard. | |
| Refined SS Stereo pwr amps under 10K? Sunfire 300 or 600. You will stop looking. | |
| Anyone into cassettes? I have a BX300 I bought in 1985. I don't have a need for it other than a handful of old tapes, but it's such a nice machine I hate to let it go. I should pull it out of storage and record some cds just to remember the sound. | |
| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? Just to clarify... The Denon 2910 has HDMI and it came with a remote as standard, but it's a good idea to make sure the remote is included. | |
| Dirac live room correction software Purist, thank you for the nice review. It is very encouraging. It looks like Stereophile just released a positive review. I'm curious how time consuming and/or complicated it was to set up? I played around with a Behringer DEQ2496 a few years ago ... | |
| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? Richard, here's another vote for Denon 2910. I had one for a number of years. As a matter of fact, I brought it to your house several times. I don't think you were impressed, but you were comparing it to your Jolida which was much more lush and sm... | |
| Musical, high powered Amp under $1k Sunfire 300 or 600. Hard to beat the price to performance ratio. | |
| Alon Model 1 8" woofers blown Highly unlikely anyone has a pair for sale, but something might come up if you don't mind waiting a few years. Or you could just send them to Bill who will make them better than original and cost the same as a used pair. | |
| DQ-20i Bass/amplification You want to make absolutely sure the drivers are reconnected with proper polarity. If one speaker is connected backward, the result would be weak bass. It's an easy mistake to make -- and easy to correct. | |
| My personal experiences moving from Sttaf to Hawk I appreciate the detailed write up. You don't see this very often. Thank you. | |
| Thorens TD-316? IMHO, it's a great table for that price range. | |
| Thorens TD-316? Grado Sonata would be an excellent match. | |
| Thrift shop find, Ohm Speakers These are not Ohm Walsh, but for $20 you can't go wrong. There must be some marking that indicates what model it is. If you can't find that, you can call Ohm. They are extremely helpful over the phone. | |
| suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers It's not clear whether you're looking for an integrated or just an amp. If you need an amp, a Sunfire 300 is a hidden gem for less than $800. It sounds wonderful, has an unusual amount of warmth for solid state, handles low impedance speakers, and... | |
