| 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... | |
| Buying equipment Hi Swarthy, You are kidding me right? I don't think it is that hard to select decent components on-line and have them shipped to your house. This is not a perfect way of doing things, but I think you can only go so wrong. At the very least, you wi... | |
| mMarantz 2325 help Yes, you can use the AUX input for a cd player. The 2325 is quite the powerhouse, enjoy it!Rich | |
| Klipsch Heresy? Crazy to consider? I have used a Prima Luna integrated (PL2) with a CD player as a source for almost 10 years in a similar sized room. I use monitors as opposed to floor standers, since the room serves as a TV room, for lack of a better phrase. The two speakers that... | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs I used Marantz 2240 and 2216B receivers over a 10 year period from 1997 to 2007. I never bought into using vintage speakers with vintage receivers. I always used modern speakers and a CD player. I had the best results with the Rega ARA (now RS1), ... | |

| New direct drive turntables? Hi Howard:Treated myself to a Stanton ST 150 a few months ago and I am really digging it, so to speak. What made me choose the Stanton? First, there are not many audiophile type reviews out there for what are essentially DJ turntables. What I di... | |
| Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?" The EPIs from the late 70's were part of the 'New England sound' style of speakers when such distinctions were relevant. EPI's founder and head designer was Winslow Burhoe, who was part of the design team at Acoustic Research. Burhoe makes a moder... | |
| Dorm room audio I would go with the following from Needle Doctor ... Audio Technica LP 120 and Audio Engine A2 Combo for $548 or the same turntable that Needle Doctor has for $300 and the Emotiva 5S at $350 I like the idea of powered speakers because she can al... |
