| Does anyone have an opinion about 7 ch. stereo? It may be a nice sound but it isn't seven channels of stereo from a vinyl record. :-) | |
| Tri-planar vs Graham I've owned the Graham 1.5t and the Tri-planar and like them both. I have not owned or heard the Phantom. Of the two, I've owned I preferred the Wheaton.Wendell | |
| Beatles catalog remastered for Sept. 09 release This is a CD release with no mention of Hi-Rez. I would not be interested if they were remixed but decent digital releases are most welcome. The ones done in the '80s sucked.Wendell | |
| Looking for a phono preamp The Parasound Zphono and the Bellari 129 are good choices. I've used both and feel they each do a credible job for the money. Both can often be bought used and resold if you don't like them or upgrade to something more expensive.Wendell | |
| Acurus A-150 v. Musical Fidelity X-150 I agree that tubes might help the Acurus. I'm not sure it will sound better than the integrated alone. If you own bothit's worth a try.Wendell | |
| Acurus A-150 v. Musical Fidelity X-150 The best thing to do is try it an listen. If you are short on power it might be can improvement though I doubt it.Wendell | |
| Good stores in LA Brooks Berdan, GNP and Sound Factor are all relatively close.One can easily do all three in a few hours. I'm assuming GNP is still in Pasadena and Sound Factor is in Rosemead. I left LA in 2005. I know Brooks is still in Monrovia.Wendell | |
| Can anyone help identify this LP cleaning machine? Keith Monks. Very expensive and still being produced. It is a British product. Unless you are willing to pay $2000-$5000 for a machine I suggest you look at VPI and Nitty Gritty. I prefer the VPI. | |
| Good stores in LA "Do you think he's going to drive all over Southern California to visit audio shops?"Since there are slim pickings in LA proper he doesn't really have any choice if he wants to achieve his desired objective. | |
| Good stores in LA Brooks Berdan LTD at 110 W. Olive in Monrovia (626-359-9131).Brooks and Brian are the best. | |
| 720p vs 1080i It depends on which your 1080p set does the best job down converting. Try both. In all probability you won't see any difference between 720p and 1080i.Wendell | |
| The Elusive Denon DP 500M Turntable I've owned both your Technics and the Denon. The Denon does not compare in terms of build quality. Keep what you have. | |
| Directv reciever with off air antenna support Before you buy one from a private party, get the serial number and call DirecTv. to confirm they will allow it to be activated. It must be an owned receiver to be sold and you want to confirm there is not an outstanding account balance associated ... | |
| Directv reciever with off air antenna support DirecTv offers an external OTA adapter for their current HD dvrs. The HR20-700 has internal OTA support but is getting more difficult to find. Is yours owned or leased? If leased, DirecTv will replace it. Just insist that you need OTA and they can... | |
| New member w a Cleaning Question You can do a good job with manual cleaning. It is more labor intensive than using a machine but results can be similar. If I were going to use a manual process I would use the Disc Doctor solution and follow his cleaning process. |
