Cat damaged speaker, Help
All good advice to go with the silicone sealant. My dad had a TV repair shop (for all who remember those) and that is basically how he would repair a damaged speaker .. except back then it was contact cement glue (think model airplanes) with some ... 
PrimaLuna Prologue Two ???
I think that you will be very happy with the VA Haydn Grand and the Prima Luna PL2.I have been using the PL2 and PL5 (with a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24) for the last 6 years with a number of speakers. The speakers I have liked the best are Opera P... 
REGA RS5... any owner?
This Rega R5 review will give you a useful answer.I used the Rega Aras (now the R1s) for a number of years and there always was good bass, as long as you had near back wall placement. Without knowing your budget, I would consider the Sierra 1 f... 
The Animals in High Def...Anyone have any feedback

Best sounding DAC with a Rega Apollo
Hi Ricred,Just curious ... what made you add a $3500 DAC to a $1000 cd player? For those dollars, I would expect a significant change ... but do you feel you now have the equivalent of a $5k unitThanks,Rich 
Best sounding DAC with a Rega Apollo
The DAC inside the Rega Apollo is pretty good. I also use a Beresford DAC/ Headphone Amp with the Rega Apollo and prefer how the Apollo sounds by itself.Rich 
Technics 1200 turntable, do I need a Phono Pre?
The Technics does not have a built in phono preamp. I will assume your amp doesn't support a phono input either. Rich 
Small family living room floor-standing speakers?
I am always on the lookout for bargains, discontinued items, etc. Take a look at the Triangle floorstanders that Upscale Audio has. Here is a review as well. Rich

Manley or Rogue?

My love of music is killing me.
There are those days I want to scream. There are those days I want to cry. I lost my grandson 4 years ago to bone cancer. He was 7 years and 8 months old to the day. The pain doesn't go away. It hurts less, but bothers me more. I think about him e... 
Building bedroom system.....speakers for it?
I use the Outlaw RR2150 in a bedroom system. It is more than fine for those purposes. The Outlaw will also work with many small monitor type speakers. Interestingly enough, smaller inexpensive speakers will work out better than smaller expensive s... 
Re: differences in tuners
How good is your antenna?Back when FM listening was as common as LP listening (Joe Cocker performing at Woodstock, if you must know), bettering your antenna often led to bigger dividends than bettering your tuner.Rich 
What is the best quality boom box w/cd player.
A few years back, I was looking to do something similar for my niece. I went with a JVC KaBoom Series boombox. She absolutely loved it. The JVC boomboxes sound great, are built like tanks, now accept iPods, and can be carried into any room. For $2... 
Does two center channels = one stereo system
Aside from the missing frequencies, there is no reason why the sound can not be good. I have often thought about going this route as I have speakers placed inside bookcases and I often must turn the speakers on their sides, as I do not have the bo...
