| Blu Ray Plyr for Two-Channel Stereo RCA Outputs ? I use a Panasonic DMP-BDT500 in a 2 channel analogue system. It has been replaced by the DMP-BDT 460.I got this player specifically to listen to blu ray audio discs and have not been disappointed. I use a separate CD player for CDs. Rich | |
| Turntable set up- How easy is it Depends on the turntable you are purchasing.If you are buying a dj oriented turntable, it has a universal headshell, so installing a cartridge should not be a big deal. The adjustments are also pretty straightforward.Any of the entry level audioph... | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud +1 on the Omega's. I own the Super MK2 and they play plenty loud in my 12 X 15 X 9 room. I would also suggest the Ascend Acoustic Sierra Monitor 1s.Rich | |
| Sierra 2 vs Dynaudio Focus 160 Pretty much if you want to hear how the Ascend Sierras 1 or 2 are going to sound, you are ordering a pair. This should be common sense, as Ascend is a mail order company. With all that said, I own the Sierras 1 and can not say enough positive abou... | |
| The missing piece Two pieces of equipment for me: 1) Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 cd player/ preamp and 2) Shure SC 35C phono cartridge. The CR PRE 24 was the best cd player and preamp I had/ have used. Granted I prefer to buy my equipment new and typically when it i... | |
| Your Help Choosing Speakers needed Neither. For years I used a 2216B in a similar sized room with CD as a source. Given that LPs will sound less loud than a CD player at the same volume, there are limits to how loud your system will play. I ultimately tried many different speakers ... | |
| marantz 2250 Two variables involved, at least. Condition: what type of shape the units are in. Both units are at least 37 years old. At some point, the caps and power supplies and any host of things need replacing or fixing. Tuner: do you live in an area, or b... | |
| Koetsu Burma Jade Platinum Is this the cartridge you are referring to ... Koetsu Jade Platinum Phono Cartridge ?At $10k a pop, not surprised there are no reviews out there.Rich | |
| 300 budget I would buy new. Any time I have picked up 30 year old and older equipment, I would wind up spending a few hundred dollars to have the equipment professionally serviced. There is always a power supply that goes or some other stuff.For $300, you ca... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Two things come to mind:1. How are your speakers set up? Are the speakers on stands, close to the wall, out in the room, etc. Have you tried moving them around? 2. The CD6005 is not on par with your amplification ... your have $4500 in amplificati... | |

| Glenn Campbell - new found respect The first LP I purchased was 'Wichita Lineman' in 1969 at age 12. The first 45 single I purchased was 'Galveston'. Glen has been a favorite the whole time. For anyone who wants to do the Glen Campbell deep dive, there are the four big albums ... G... | |
| Emotiva ERC 3 cd player versus.... The Emotiva ERC3 is not high end. It is a $400 player after all, it is not at the level of a Krell or AR. And there is no shame in that.So what is the ERC3 ... an extremely well built player that has HDCD circuitry and sounds pleasantly, but ever ... | |
| Considerations when buying older CD player I am a big CD fan and own more than 5000 CDs ... perhaps double that number. I have a lot invested in CDs. In the last year or so, I have been buying 'extra' cd only players to have, in the event that I can not get a reasonably priced CD player in... | |
| Recommendation for a 12 year old I would go with new. I have had little luck with the reliability of used, older turntables. In one of my systems, I have an Audio Technica AT-120LP available for $250 with free shipping from a number of eBay sellers. It has a built-in preamp, a de... |
