| Original prices for LP albums Marty,A&S was awesome, but had a limited selection. So did May's. I would go to the stores on Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn. Mays, Woolworths, EJ Korvettes, and A&S all in a row. My dad was an appliance repairman and many of the manuf... | |
| NAD 2600 and thumping noise I had a similar experience when powering down my Adcom 545. I was told back then by Adcom that it was nothing to worry about, as it was the amplifier doing some type of discharge. Sorry, I can not be more specific, but that was 20+ years ago and t... | |
| WHICH ONE TO BUY? There is the Outlaw RR2150 on sale these days for $600. Think of a modern take on an old school 2 channel receiver.NAD integrates are good, as well as amps from Emotiva and XTZ.Rich | |
| Strange Issues with NAD C565BEE Easy solution ... purchase a new cd player, like an Emotiva ERC-2 or XTZ CD-100/ 101. Both highly recommended. Not sure if it is worth repairing the NAD.Rich | |

| Marantz 2270 + B&W DM2000: What subwoofer? Hi Funky:You are correct, the 8 ohms rating for both your Marantz and B&W would indicate that they are compatible, at least on paper.I originally thought that your B&Ws were not rated at 8 ohms and because of the power anomaly with the Mar... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Actually, what would be helpful for people looking to build/ expand a classical collection is a compilation of these responses. If for example 25 people respond, what were the composers/ works that were recommended and how many votes did each reco... | |

| Marantz 2270 + B&W DM2000: What subwoofer? So much for posting using a iPhone in a laundromat in Brooklyn. I also would have done a bit more research. See the attached discussion regarding power output of the Marantz 2270 . The point is the same, there was some anomaly with the power outp... | |
| Marantz 2270 + B&W DM2000: What subwoofer? A sub is not the way to go. The 2270 was a bit of an odd duck as its output into 4 ohms was not terribly more than its output into 8 ohms (46 watts per channel into 4 ohms, where you might expect closer to 70 ohms per channel into 4 ohms. The 2270... | |

| Popular Male Singers in the past Half Century... R0817:Did you want the 'most' popular male singers (as measured by record sales) or just singers that are personal favorites (which is what you seem to be getting). I would also think that you would want efforts by solo artists, as opposed to grou... | |

| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used I own the Totem Mites and they require very good equipment with them to sound their best. They also do not put out a lot of bass. This may be breaking his budget a bit, but I would go for Ascend Acoustic Sierra 1s , which come in a Gloss Expresso... |
