| $500-600 Used Tuner I purchased a Kenwood KT8005 tuner on Audiogon for $65. It was Kenwood's top of the line in 1973. It is large, heavy and looks gorgeous imho. I had it shipped directly from the seller to Don Scott, who cleaned it, aligned it and upgraded a few int... | |
| 1st song you remember??? First memory at home:The sound track to How the West was Won with Debbie Renyolds. My dad would play it every Sunday after church. I especially liked "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"First memory from radio/school:Beatles-I Wanna Hold Your Hand, o... | |
| Good turntable equipped for about 700 dollars? Hi Peter,I have been satisfied with the music hall mmf5, though tempted to move up to a 7. I haven't heard most of the tables listed above. My understanding is Linn has its own style of sound that if it is for you, you will love it, but it is not ... | |
| Build me a killer Rock/Metal Rig for 1K David,I am sorry you have had problems and had to divest. It is important to have music in your life. If I were in your situation, I would strongly consider a Superphon RevelationII preamp ($350) and PS Audio 200C ($375) on Agon right now. Both pr... | |
| sub 500 turn table I thoroughly enjoy my Musichall MMF-5. What sold me was the inclusion of a decent cartridge at the asking price. I won it on an audiogon auction for $350 new, making it almost $200 cheaper than a used Rega planar 3 by the time I bought a cartridge... | |
| Spica TC-50's vs 60's. Differences + Maintanence. I have owned both. I definitely prefer the TC-60 and still use it in my primary two channel rig with ACI (Audio Concepts) subwoofers. My TC-50 had very poor fit and finish. The wood veneer started to peel off. I blew one tweeter in it, using an Ad... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500 or other transport choice ??? Hi Alan,I have a Musical Fidelity MMF-CD25 cd player. It is a very well built machine for the money. It tracks and reads burned cds well. It has a 24/96 dac and decodes hdcd as well so you may find you don't need your MSB. It can be used as a qual... | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? Great topic. I currently have NHT Super Zero's in my office and Spica TC-60's at home. Both great buys for the sound quality offered. My best "find" however was a 1973 Kenwood KT8005 tuner for $65. Can't believe how good FM can sound.Paul | |
| A question for ACI Titan LE2 Sub owners ? I have been using ACI Sub one's with Spica monitors on top of them for 10 years. The sub one was the model before the Titan and is basically the same sub without the built in amplifier. Originally I tried to isolate the Spicas from the subs with a... | |
| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier I haven't heard the Acoustat, but Jim Strickland eventually landed at Hafler and designed the 9300-9500 series Trans-Nova amps. I had an original 9500 for over 8 years. It is a very good amp. Not often available used, but a good value when availab... | |
| Has anyone out there HotRodded a tx-11B tuner ? Hi John,You should contact Don Scott at bdscott@nac.net. Don is a former Stereophile writer who specializes in vintage tuners. He modified a 30 year old Kenwood KT 8005 for me and it just blew me away. He is reasonably priced and honest. He also w... | |
| MMF7 + MF A300 + ML Aeon = Goosebumps? Hi Scott,Welcome back to the madness. I recently picked up a MF A3cr power amp to go with a MMF-5 turntable, c-j pv10a tube preamp and Spica TC-60 speakers. Unfortunately, I find getting to bed at a decent hour is becoming more and more difficult.... | |
| Don Scott tuner god Just thought I'd throw my $.02 in. I recently purchased a 1973 Kenwood KT8005 on A-gon for $65 and had it shipped directly to Don. He aligned it, upgraded several internal parts, cleaned all the connections, replaced the output jacks and the power... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity A-3cr Amplifier I just replaced a Hafler 9500 with the MF A-3cr. I had the Hafler for over 8 years and enjoyed it very much. The MF is so much more trasparent. The mids and highs are crystal clear and spacious but never hard. The weakness is reported to be the ba... | |
| Best or most profound sleeper product Good thread. My objective has always been to get the best possible sound out of reasonable price equipment. Currently I am very happy with the following purchases, all through audiogon:C-j PV10a $600MusicHall MMF-5 turntable $350 newMusicHall MMF-... |
