| Setting up an audio system I started with the speakers as I'd read such good things about B&W 802 D speakers . The stuff I read about these speakers is really what piqued my interest in setting up a system . I haven't ever heard them yet but plan on "auditioning " a pai... | |
| Marantz SM11S1/SC11S1 with Jamo D870. Very nice separates you have coming. Of course they will work, you can never have to much power! With a pair of quality separates like these, beware the eventual upgrade path as your next question will be about speakers.Have fun! | |
| Speakers for Simaudio Neo 250i Nice amp you got.Normally I am reluctant to recommend a speaker but since your limited to front ported models only, and there aren't as many out there to choose from, this one is easy...Sonus Faber Venere 2.0It's front ported, within your budget a... | |
| Turntable dust covers Anybody have one from JMK Displays?Yes, they custom built mine several years ago for my Pro-ject RM 5.1SE to my exact specifications. Great cover at an unbelievable price - mine was about $100 including shipping. Got in under two weeks too. Much b... | |
| lafayette 9090 or Sansui 4000 IMO, the NAD is much better than the other two you asked about. Just be sure to give it a listen first to make sure all is in working order. Ask if he has a receipt too for the overhaul rather than take his word on it.Again, I not am knocking vint... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? You might be right ZD. The bottom line, most people are just not concerned about quality sound reproduction, period. Audiophiles are an extreme minority and vinylphiles, even less.Don't get me wrong, I enjoy vinyl immensely and am anxiously awaiti... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? Being a vinyl lover, regret that I have put myself in the camp that the vinyl resurgence is just a fad.Go to vinyl dominated forums and look at the vast amount of posters who have obtained their first TT yet are completely unaware they need a phon... | |
| lafayette 9090 or Sansui 4000 Ok, you're not an audioohile. I hope you have experience though in electrical engineering.Rich is right - these units are 30-40 years old. Something will need to be replaced, especially the caps, if not now then very soon. If you can do the repair... | |
| worst sounding great lps All the comments about Katy Lied are interesting. I forgot about this one. If any LP can make your speakers sound like they are covered by a blanket, this one can.I have three copies, original, MoFi and a recently acquired new sealed one and all t... | |
| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 Louisiana. Don't want to name the Town/City or everyone will know who I am talking about. Almost every audiophile I have met in the area has had a bad experience. Very few are customers.Then whats the harm in giving out the name of the Town/City?S... | |
| worst sounding great lps Just about anything on Atlantic between 1971 - 1977. Especially Zep 4 and ELP Works Vol 1. | |
| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 I am also wondering which to go with. Obviously it makes sense to go with the Dynavector because of how much I already like the cart they produce. That being said some say the MM is really just ok. Its the MC that shines and of course I would use ... | |
| A/V Receiver or Separates If you are interested in a good 2 channel listening experience, then stay away from an AVR and even separate HT pre/pros. These types of components are designed and built for digital, multi channel reproduction and the stereo pre-amp sections in t... | |
| Question about cables. Just like your misplaced question about 5.1 vs. 7.1 in the analog forum a few days ago, this question too is better suited in the Home Theater or Digital forums. You'll get more responses in those forums.Also it may help to provide a little more i... | |
| 7.1 or 5.1 You may want to post this question in the Home Theater forum as you'll get more responses.Since this is the Analog room my answer is, why would you want more than 2 channels? Let alone 5 or 7? |
