| A newby to Turntables -- Linn - Thorens Thank you for all your input. I'll digest everyone's suggestions. | |
| Richard Vandersteen at Audio Connection I wish I had known about Audio Connection when I was in NYC.I also made the mistake of visiting Sound By Singer. I was looking to purchase the new Cambridge Audio 640P phono preamp. The staff was rude, condescending and couldnt give me any info... | |
| Record Stabilizer on a Suspension Table? I've listen to a couple Rockport Sirius tables in my time and have never seen any type of record clamp. Some of the records have had slight warps and still been un-affected | |
| Acoustat Reference Preamp. Thanks for the input. I belive the caps were replaced a few years ago. I'll ask to listen to it the next time I visit -- he's a few hours away.The only thing I can recall seeing on it is "Acoustat Reference." | |
| Acoustat Reference Preamp. I don't have an amp yet-- just an integrated. Maybe I'll bring my Snells over. Was it decent in it's time? It seems very well built and has a nice phone section. | |
| Boston Acoustics and Snell bought by D&M Holdings Its kind-of sad to see a Japanese company gobble-up such historical American brands.Such names as Marantz, McIntosh and Boston Acoustics were important American Audio companies. There are some pluses that have happened over the year since the McI... | |

| Stands for Snell E-IIIs Just an FYI. I have the Snell EIIs witch are similar speakers. I needed to have the Mid-Bass woofers replaced because of foam rot. I bought the speakers 15 years ago new. Snell not only replaced the drivers, but re-tuned both speakers (using so... | |
| Help with NAD C320BEE brightness. Break-in??? I returned the NAD and purchased a NEW MODEL Jolida 1501 (Four months old – Silver faceplate) used on Audiogon for $500.00. This was the best choice I made for my room/system. To me the Jolida is a solid step-up in performance. Beautiful solid bas... | |
| Help, too bright Just a follow-up about my NAD 320BEE amp and dealing with brightness, inspired by Jsujo's post. I returned the NAD and purchased a NEW MODEL Jolida 1501 (Four months old Silver faceplate) used on Audiogon for $500.00. Wow!!! What a difference th... | |
| Help, too bright I absolutely agree with you. Every manufacture has their own ideas of the perfect sound and theres tons of fantastic equipment on the used market at around 1/2 off. Its soooo much fun to mix and match in order create your ultimate sound! | |
| Help, too bright Personally I feel that any audio or video system should have decent basic cabling to help reveal and allow your system to perform at its best. This also eliminates the chances of noise / interference invading your signal path.Im looking at used ... | |
| Help, too bright How long have you owned the NAD C320BEE?It could be a break-in problem. I own the same integrated and have experienced the same brightness.While the C 320BEE sounds nice with piano and female vocals, If I play pop or rock music, I find that I want... |
