| Good sounding oldies CD of 60,'s 70's 80's I have found most of the decade specific compilations to be lacking, usually because that are label specific (i.e.: only the hits from the Columbia catalog). You may have better success putting together your own compilation from iTunes. You will b... | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Feedback I would go with the Sierra Towers from Ascend Acoustics at the $2K mark for my retirement days, which are not that far away. I own the Sierra 1 monitors and absolutely love the sound. There is a 30 day guarantee.Rich | |
| Pre Pro And Amplifier Instead Of Receiver I always liked Onkyo HT receivers, why not just purchase another one?Crutchfield has the Onkyo 828 for $750 all in, including shipping.That is probably the route I would go.Rich | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Ah ... the Stones' haters. Well, It's Sunday and my birthday, no less, so let's make some noise and stir the pot up a bit. The R&R Hall of Fame matters about as much as the Grammies do. So, forgetting about this year's inductees, why would you... | |
| Yamaha RS-700 vs Outalw audiRR2150 Stereo Receiver I have owned the Outlaw RR2150 for 8 years and am very happy with it ... no complaints.

| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp My dad owned a mom & pop TV and appliance repair shop in Brooklyn at a time when there were only tubes ... TV picture tubes, big radio tubes, small tuner tubes ... you get the idea. We were 3 boys doing most of our living in the two (9 X 12') ... | |

| Would appreciate feedback on logic Since you realize the limitations of both the room and the set-up of your equipment, I would also think that you have some ideas as to just how much of an improvement different speaker cables are going to make. If you view putting together a syste... | |
| First turntable advice I added a turntable to my system after about 20 years of not having one. I had first picked up a used Denon direct drive off of eBay, which lasted about a year before the motor died. I purchased a Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable, Musical Fidelity ... | |
| Hidden factors in A-B comparisons. Back when I was in high school (early 1970's), Stereo Review and High Fidelity and I think even Consumer Reports would recommend twisting the cable plugs while plugged in to remove any built up oxidation. What you are saying sounds similar.Rich | |
| KLH Model 35 replacement So ... this comes down to a doozie of a task ... replacing a stereo for elderly parents with something that will perform the way they remember their 'made in the USA' stereo performed.What will make this task difficult is finding a receiver that p... | |
| KLH Model 35 replacement Wow ... where to begin. The KLH turntable/ receiver compact and speakers that you have were the rage when I was entering high school 45 years ago. I do not know how long you have owned this equipment, but if you are the original owner, an old-time... | |
