| Good speakers for a low budget What a concept ... someone who buys equipment and actually holds on to it. So most likely, your friend will hold on to this equipment for another 15 years. So, she wants stuff that will sound good, look good, and last another 2 presidential electi... | |
| Out of these 4 speakers, which 2 should I try out? Cleaned Up Hippy ... Not to spend your money ... but giving the RC-10's a shot is almost a no-brainer. If you can live with the rosenut color, Audio Advisor has the RC10's for $333 a pair. I think that they would go nicely with your Jolida integ... | |

| Out of these 4 speakers, which 2 should I try out? Try the Energy RC10. The Energy RC10's are a special speaker with excellent bass response. Very smooth sounding without harshness in the highs. Will probably mate the best with the Onkyo HT receiver. I am using a pair of RC10's with a Prima Luna t... | |
| Overall opinions on Harman Kardon Unfortunately, the HK products of the last 10 years have been decent performing, but horribly built. They will break down or self-destruct quicker than other brands over time. Watched my HK go up in smoke, literally, a few years back. Regards, Rich | |
| Good speakers for a low budget If he is looking for a bookshelf speaker, try the Energy RC10 . Just picked up a pair and am very impressed with them. Excellent pricing (almost 50% off) for certain speaker finishes.Regards, Rich | |
| My brother dips a toe back into rock music Your brother is just a few years older than I am and we have followed a similar path leading to opera (Mozart & Verdi). Here are some he may enjoy: 1. The Thorns - First Album (2003) - reminiscent of CSN&Y2. Peter Wolf "Sleepless" (2002) (... | |
| $800-1000 home theater receiver Sensible Sound magazine did an exhaustive review of the Onkyo 805 (now the 806). The main point of the review was how Onkyo optimized the 805 for both music and HT reprodution. Apparently the receiver is over-spec'd and over-built. It is a $1000... | |
| SINATRA ONLY THE LONELY MONO GOLD CD How much more can really be done with a 50 year old recording? A little less noise perhaps? I am not being critical, as I have purchased any number of remastered CD's and the differences have usually been barely noticeable. I can't recollect ever ... | |

| Dylan Bootleg Number 8 The 2 CD set is $20 something list, $14 at J&R Music. Regards, Rich | |
| Dylan Bootleg Number 8 I have been a Dylan fan for at least 35 years. When I listen to Dylan, I tend to listen to all those great albums from the 60's & 70's that I grew up with. With that said, I am enjoying the Bootleg Seres Vol. 8 immensely. What helped me apprec... | |

| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? The same way that you would throw out a dish or glass that has broken. That's what my dad did 50 years ago ... he owned and operated Chief Radio & Appliances in Brooklyn. He was the best bench technician out there.Regards,Rich | |
| 75 ohm adapters & fixed vs. variable RCA's Congratulations on receiving FM stations that are actually worth listening to. Radio Shack would have all the parts that you are looking for. If you do not have a Radio Shack in town, Parts Express may work. Regards, Rich |
