ADCOM 535
Kent:Have you tried contacting Adcom? They were doing repairs as of a few years ago. They will bring the units to factory spec, but will not perform upgardes like upgrading power cords, for example.Regards, Rich 
Sound quality of XM radio Direct TV vs standalone
Bmatth:I subscribe to Sirius (Howard Stern ... nuff said) and am using the Tivoli Satellite Radio both as a standalone radio and as a tuner connected through my stereo system. The Tivoli is a more than respectable tuner. The satellite radio sound ... 
Cambridge D500SE CD player platter problems
It sounds like the motor (shed motor-?) is shot. If this is the case, your options are the usual suspects and depend on how your wallet is doing these days ... get it fixed; buy a new one; hurl the old one from a moving car; etc. Sorry that I don'... 
movie system
dwhitt:So, what are you looking for and how much do you want to spend? Are you looking for a separate movie system or do you want to supplement your existing 2 channel system? What is the size of the room that you will be putting this system in? A... 
Complete Speaker package with reciever
Audio E:As a rule, when I recommend components, I recommend components that I have owned or have listened to extensively. I assume medium sized rooms and average acoustics. I assume purchasing new stock and I look to see where the best deals are. ... 
Best Concert Film
Gentlemen, Gentlemen ... what's going on here with these nominations? Are we getting soft in our old age? Quite frankly, Woodstock and Monterey Pop are historical documentaries. "Stop Making Sense" and Meerp1's choices are closer to the mark. And ... 
Speaker spikes OR Rubber feet ?
Rubber feet will work best on the top shelf of a piece of furniture. Rubber feet will also preclude any discussions about scratching the wood. I have Omega Super 3 monitors (15 X 8 X 10, h/w/d) sitting on their sides (they become 8 X 15 X 10). I h... 
Why is there no Mid End
Just one more thing to add to Nrchy's excellent distinctions: the more obscure sounding the brand name ... the higher end it must be. True high end can not include SONY or Denon, unless it is in a second or kid's system ... it's a state law. Regar... 
Low cost bedroom speakers
Pragmatist:I am happy with the Outlaw RR2150 so far. The tuner is excellent ... it pulls in a lot of stations cleanly and clearly with just a simple set of rabbit ears ... that is quite an accomplishment given that I live in a typical NYC apartm... 
Low cost bedroom speakers
I had been using NHT SB2 monitors with a Marantz 2240 vintage receiver in a bedroom system for the last two years. Very pleasing combination ... the excellent tuner and better than average amplifier of the Marantz with the smooth treble and detail... 
Static or other weird hum problem
Is the noise only caused when you put the preamp on mute and at no other times? Are you certain that the noise is coming from the Tenors and not your preamp? Isolating the source of the noise can be a pain, but the only way to get at a solution. S... 
NAD 314 vs. C320BEE
I just went about this in another thread here . If you can pick up a Music Hall MMF CD 25 cd player, you will be very pleased. You can find the Music Hall 25 for about $500 new, but obviously less used.Regards, Rich 
Replace a Yamaha Cr 840 with a Yamaha,NAD, Denon?
Bill, I have been using the Outlaw for just about a week now (Christmas present to myself) and so, I still have not put the amp through all its paces yet. After about 30 hours of burn in, the amp sounds promising ... it will be at least on par ove... 
Replace a Yamaha Cr 840 with a Yamaha,NAD, Denon?
Take a look at Outlaw Audio's RR2150 . I just replaced a Marantz 2240 receiver that I was using in a bedroom system with the Outlaw. What impresses me the most about the Outlaw is just how good its tuner section is. Not only does the tuner pull i... 
NAD 314 vs. C320BEE
I used the NAD C320BEE in a secondary system for two years and was very satisfied with it. The NAD saw almost daily use for that time. I wrote a review of the NAD here in Audiogon . I felt that the best part of the NAD's sound was that it was ver...
