| Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3 Used ... a NAD C370 or C372 (there's a C372 new for $625 on Audiogon now). Regards, Rich | |
| Refurbished Marantz SR7500 quality? Accessories4less is a quality, customer oriented site and I have done business with them many times over the last 7 years. They came into prominence as the liquidator of the Acoustic Research 303 and HO series and IXOS cables. They are an authoriz... | |
| Help: Polk Rt i 35 Vs Older Paradigm Se MKii This may or may not strike you as a concern, but what type of material (foam, rubber, cloth, etc.) are the speaker surrounds made of? Speakers from the early 90's are closing in on 15 years old and may be showing some signs of surrounds rot and ma... | |
| Any UFC fans out there? In "Rocky Balboa", the sole reference to Rocky's age is "boxers in their late fifties."If you follow the time line from "Rocky" though, Rocky was 30 at the time he fought Apollo Creed. The movie was picture of the year in 1976, which would make th... | |
| Any UFC fans out there? Match:You make some good points. Many MMA critics point to the "ground and pound" as being too violent, but in reality those punches are way less dangerous than boxing strikes. On the ground, the fighter on top does not do a full wind up and slug ... | |
| CD player wanted $500-$1000 At the $1000 price level, go with the Rega Apollo. At the $550 price level, go with a Music Hall MMF CD25.2. If you are interested, at below the $500 price level, go with a Cambridge Audio Azur 540. After owning a number of CD players over 20 year... | |
| Any UFC fans out there? I boxed in my early 20's (light heavy), have been a big fan of pro wrestling for the last 30 years, and got hooked on UFC and Pride about 2 years ago. I even subscribe to the Wrestling Observer and Figure Foure Leglock. So, I am very much a mark f... | |
| Small monitors good at low listening levels? I would add the REGA R1 and the NHT Classic 2 and Classic 3 to your list. I live in an apartment house and tend to listen at fairly low volume levels. The smaller models from B&W and Epos sound best when played loud. Regards, Rich | |
| Musical Fidelity British or Chinese Hi Dave:The A300, A3, and A3.2 series were all manufactured in the UK. The A5 series, which essentaily replaced this series, is made in China. The A5 series has a different look than the A3 series. I have owned MF equipment in the A300, A3, and A3... | |
| The Outlaw ruins X-mas A correction to my earlier post ...In re-reading my post, I didn't mean to give the impression that Outlaw had to replace all its RR2150 receivers. My receiver was from one of the first production runs and it developed problems after about 6 month... | |
| The Outlaw ruins X-mas Rhyno:Cut Outlaw some slack. They have had a hell of a year this year with the factory that they use to build its RR2150 receiver using bad parts and then, the factory backed out of its agreements to supply receivers. Outlaw found a new factory an... | |
| How long will CD-R's & DVD-R's last? There are archival quality CD-R's and DVD-R's. These discs from Mitsui have a life expectancy claim of 100 years because of the 24K gold reflective surface. Even if they are wrong by 50%, 50 years should be enough for most things. Regards, Rich | |
| x10V3 Tube buffer: Class A Sound or dud? Tony:The answer may be that now you have a tube preamp and it is doing pretty much what the tube buffer would do. Regards, Rich | |
| Musical Fidelity using cheap selecter & volume ? Hi Red:Not quite sure what you mean when you say it sounds "de de." The problem that I have had with the volume knob and input selectors has been with the remote control. The remote controls are rather cheaply made and after awhile don't work. The... | |
| musical fidelity sound? Sam:I still get back to the words "elegant" and "refined" to describe the MF sound. In the CD PRE 24, I have what is in essence a Nu Vista DAC and CD transport and an A3 preamp. I am using it with a Prima Luna power amp. This is precisely the "ass... |
