| $2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier Have you thought about going "vintage"? There's a Marantz 2285b for sale here on the 'gon. Perhaps a Pioneer SX-1250? | |
| Pre/Amp/Int for Vandersteen 2ce Sig II for +/-$3k If you can audition it, you may want to consider the Ayre AX-7e. | |
| Troubles with Sound-Smith return communications? I've bought 2 carts from them, and the response has always been great. | |
| Speaker appearance verses musicality. Ok...I'll say it:My guess is that, for the most part, sound quality is at best 50% of the buyer's decision. This hobby is not purely about aesthetics. | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Not that this benefits this discussion, but I feel the need to thorow out a peeve of mine when discussing "subs" - this supposed magical frequency of 80 Hz. IMHO if you are using 80 Hz as a crossover point you're already off to a bad start with re... | |

| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? I'm having a Pioneer CT-F1000 restored for inclusion in my "vintage" system. | |
| Vintage Receivers.....5 gang tuners.... You may want to try your question over at AudioAsylum.com or AudioKarma.org. I really enjoy my restored Pioneer SX-1250. | |
| Teres Illius Tonearm I'd be interested to know, too. I love my Teres table (basically a cocobolo 245 w/ a Verus motor). There used to be a lot of buzz about their products, but that seemed to cool off after they discontinued the 2xx and 3xx series to focus on the high... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Hey Macdad, you didn't happen to catch the Femmes at the Aragon back in early 90, did you? I was supposed to be visiting Northwestern's campus, but bailed on that evening's activities to catch the show. Good times. | |
| STP distance. Is it critical ? Changing one of the three "dimensions" changes the other two for a given geometry. If the STP increases, so does the effective length, the cartridge offset angle shallows.This only makes sense...As P-to-S increases, effective length must increase ... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? Digital is superior for 1 reason: RemoteThe lack of remote allows me to focus on the music currently playing, rather than thinking about which track to jump to next. However, if I could train my 5-year-old to flip sides, brush the record, clean th... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Wasn't the CD sold as "perfect sound forever"?As a matter of fact, I just bought a laserdisc player last week, too. I love the video quality (particularly on my Sony Bravia LCD TV). It has a very film-like quality. I appreciate it because of (and ... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Actually, the first cassette I dropped into this deck was a live-to-2-track recording I did about 20 years ago of a Ph.D candidate performing a piece for berimbau. It had been stored in a hot Texas attic for the past 10 years, and it's storage dur... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? I just bought a Pioneer CT-F1000 and I'm looking to have it restored. |
