| Does people buying CD player anymore? Godivaa:At this point, I have not heard a moderately priced DVD player that plays CD's as well as the moderately priced Music Hall MMF CD 25 CD player. The Music Hall does an all round sensational job and has HDCD capability. I have owned one for ... | |
| Parasound Vs Adcom Slappy:If you are going with a smaller speaker like the BA Bravo, I am not sure why you would just not stay with your Denon 3805, especially given that the 3805 is the latest version of the 3800 receiver. The Bravos can only take a max of 125 wat... | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier Karavite:Other than my dad, who was one of the best bench technicians that I knew, and who at age 82 retired his soldering gun a long time ago, I would recommend Bill at Music Technology. His particulars are:MUSIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.5418 Port Royal R... | |
| Best $500 combo player 968:I thought that Philips was discontinuing or had discontinued support for its products in the US. If that is the case and remembering some of the reported problems that Philips had with their model 1000 SACD player a few months back (check the ... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? Boldstrummer:In all candor, in this hobby, just about every "huge difference" that someone claims that they can hear is typically nothing more than something that is casually discernable and a function of how much they let it bother them. With tha... | |
| Marantz vs. Pioneer Receivers For direct model comparison, you may wish to do a search in the Vintage Forum at Audio Asylum . Each brand has its fans; especially when it comes to the TOTL model offerings. I currently own/have owned lower powered models from each (Marantz 2240... | |
| Can you rate these amps for me? The 2270 was the most popular of the well respected Marantz 22xx series of receivers from the 1970's, but it was also a bit of an anomaly. It had the characteristic warm, beefy sound of other Marantz receivers; but it operated a bit strangely with... | |
| Review: Luxman PD-284 Turntable I am really impressed with how you are building this 2 channel HT system ... a combination of budget gear that performs well above its price tag (Denon DRA 395; Radio Shack Mega Cable; Pioneer 563 universal player) with higher end units (ProAc spe... | |
| Audition suggestions please This may seem like an odd comment (or not) ... but you may have a situation where the speakers you are considering are clearly in a different league than your amplifier ... and you may then be looking to upgrade the Rotel RA-02 just to catch up wi... | |
| Have A Great Summer Everyone Sean:There's a Mark Twain line that goes like this ... "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." I worked out there for a while about 12 years ago and I remember having to buy sweatshirts to wear during evenings in July. Be ... | |
| Have A Great Summer Everyone Ed:You're a wise man ... it has only taken you 45 years to do something for your joints and quality of life... good job. My wife has another 3 years to go, before she can call it a day with the Post Office and then, we are either southbound or wes... | |
| Few problems on "new" tt Remi:The Sanusi SR 222 is a 70's era turntable, that was considered a fairly decent budget turntable (below $200) in its day. After 25 or so years, it probably needs a good overhaul by a knowledgeable repairman ... which is where you are heading, ... | |
| Integrated Amp and Speakers for a teenager? For the integrated amp, you can purchase a NAD C320 BEE ($400 new). I can not think of a better integrated amp for the money. More than sufficient power (50 wpc); excellent with all types of music; well built and reliable; and it will sound good w... | |
| Recommend amp for 2 channel HT Try a NAD C 320BEE integrated at $400 new (it's what I use for 2 channel HT) or a Denon DRA 395 ($400 new) 2 channel receiver. The DVD player would plug into any input (AUX or CD) and would work just fine. Be sure to set the simulated surround fea... | |
| System help with Vandy speakers NEWBIE Mary:Actually the AR 2AX were pretty near the top of the AR line back in the day. If you are interested in AR History , the highlighted web-site will fill give you a good background. I remember an AR product catalog from the early 70's and there ... |
