| 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... | |

| compact bookshelf speaker for my system Hi Drew:You will be making some compromises sonically by placing your speakers on a shelf inside of a entertainment center. In essence, you will have a box inside of a box and speaker companies really do not design their speakers to work optimally... | |
| Raul Malo, great new album of acoustic tunes When I first heard about this album's release two months ago, I was very psyched, as I have been a big fan of Raul Malo and the Mavericks for ages. Raul Malo's voice is absolutely top notch and is probably the best sounding male voice in all of Am... | |
