| panny 60u vs. 600u I'm also looking at the 60U. The price is right (@$1300 at some online vendors with good ratings).Is it still a wise decision to also purchase the after market warantees when buying a plasma? Do the newer plasma's still suffer from issues that wil... | |
| In the market for a plasma.........suggestions? That's a great suggestion Rysa4. It's not just a matter of finding the best price. Problems definitely DO happen, and enough of us have been burned by needing to return a defective unit before (e.g. claims that it was never received back, rediculo... | |
| In the market for a plasma.........suggestions? Is it still a wise decision to also purchase the after market warantees when buying a plasma? Do the newer plasma's still suffer from issues that will need warantee work within 2 years?I'm also interested in the Panny TH-42PX60U, and see great pri... | |
| Best Phono Preamp for budget system Ha, ha, ha, ha ... "which one". That's another thread. Search the archives for too many options.But I would suggest adding the Hagerman Coronet to your list of phono stages if you plan on staying with high output cartridges (MM or MC).Enjoy,Bob | |
| Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable I use it for my outdoor speakers. It is waterproof and works fine there. I just snip the third wire at each end and ignore it.But I wouldn't think of using it inside, not when there's relatively inexpensive alternatives that make sense. Like Spelt... | |
| Has anyone heard the Burwen Bobcat system Also, when Levinson was asked to play some before and afer comparisons to justify to all of us that what he was SAYING could be proven, he refused to comply. Some lame assed excuse about this not being a test, but rather a demonstration.More like ... | |
| Mods in Tube players: list in order From my experience I would say the following order applies to most any mod, not just CD players:(1) clock, although a very expensive mod, it has the potential to make the most improvement in CD players(2) power supply, especially for switching typ... | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? I just picked up a set of the Speltz IC's. Compared them to a DIY set of Jon Risch 89259/89248 twisted pair (unshielded). They didn't come close in the mids and top end.However, I am using them to feed signal to my bass amp, which was too loud for... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I had a McCormack passive into my DNA .5 amp and loved it, but was missing the dynamics. I've moved to an Audio Prism Mantissa and haven't looked back.Yes, a passive is very alluring, and can be really great paired with the correct equipment, but ... | |
| Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help You took the words right out of my moutn - try a wall mount, but make sure its a load bearing wall for best results.The other option, which worked fairly well for me in the past, is to put the TT on a maple butcher block and put rollerblocks under... | |
| Origin live Silver or VPI JMW-9 Signature At those prices you would be remiss not looking at a Moerch also (UP4 or DP6).Enjoy,Bob | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists I like a lot of the suggestions mentioned above. Lots of good stuff there. If you're looking to broaden your horizons over time I can suggest doing two things:(1) Sign up with BMG Music and look through their catalog. Or subscribe to yourmusic.com... | |
| Hagerman "Blue Cornet" I also have a transformer "hummmmmm" coming from my Coronet. I contacted Jim Hagerman and he suggested that it might be due to my use of the original 270BX transformer. It is only rated for 210-215 volts. The 370BX transformer that is now used in ... | |
| Morph The Cat : Revisited It sounds decent on the stereo - not as good as many small jazz combo CD's or albums, but decent for a rock album. Unfortunately I have to agree that the songs are forgettable. I guess I'm just fed up with the Fagan sound. It hasn't changed much o... | |
| MMF-5 vs. VPI HW-19 Jr - old school or new age? It may be a lateral move right now, but you have the potential to upgrade the VPI as time and funds allow. It COULD be a much better table down the road.However, if I were in your shoes I would probably wait, save some additional cash, and get a b... |
