| HT speakers, sub, receiver/separates for $3500? Slappy:I thought that you were engaged; bought a house; had to sell your system to pay for the house; etc. My apologies if I missed the latest chapter and also, if I am bringing up potentially bad memories for you. You still do tatoos for beer, if... | |
| Best of the vintage Marantz integrateds? There were two 22XX Marantz series ... the ones with the Black dial backdrop from 1974/75 and the ones with the Silver dial backdrop from 1978/79. The silver dial backdrop models also had a "B" in their model number. The XX in the model numbers st... | |
| what integrated and speakers? Holla ...One more thing ... without knowing how you feel about ordering equipment over the internet ... be sure to check out sites like ... Upscale Audio ; Audio Advisor ; J&R Music ; Yawa On-Line ; HCM Audio ; Crutchfield Stereo for sal... | |
| what integrated and speakers? I think that you may be better off if you establish a budget for what you want to spend, as opposed to chasing a financing option. Given that, the NAD C320BEE is an excellent amp and more importantly an amp that you can grow with. You can start wi... | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES or Sony SCD-c222ES Mark:I have a 2001 C555ES and I found that going through the "Classification by the Layer Configuration" routine for Super Audio CD + CD on page 13 of the user's manual did away with the mechanical thumping/grinding noise. Might have been coincide... | |
| Helping a friend put together a sub-$1000 system I have been using a NAD C320BEE with a Music Hall MMF CD 25 for almost two years and the two components absolutely sing together. See my latest comments on my 2 channel HT system. I like the how the NAD sounds with sealed box/acoustic suspension s... | |
| Turntable as tuner? Do you have a tuner connected to your preamp/integrated amp, as well? If so, it is common enough ... you are experiencing bleed through. I have noticed this with a vintage Marantz receiver that I have. If I have the selector set to AUX and turn th... | |
| benefit of Higher power over Lower power Amp ? Hi Simon:If I remember your system correctly, you were using NAD amplification and listening to a lot of orchestral music. In my main system, I just upgraded from a 85 wpc Musical Fidelity (A3 integrated amp) to a 250 wpc Musical Fidelity (A300 po... | |
| A little assistance please on a SS Integrated Amp I would consider pairing the JM Labs with a NAD C320BEE (new, list price of $400). Nice sounding integrated amp; not terribly fussy with cables and interconnects; and with the left over cash (and about a $100 more) she could actually consider purc... | |
| Re: Sony S570 dvd player can play SACD??? Actually, the S570 is from the same generation of players, except that its styling was to go with the SONY Wega (silver color). I never had the C:13 problems that a lot of 360/560/570 owners were complaining about (famous last words), but I gather... | |
| Re: Sony S570 dvd player can play SACD??? I have a S560, which I believe is from the same generation (circa 2000) of SONY DVD players that you are referring to (S360 was the single player without decoders; S560 was the single player with decoders; S570 was the changer with decoders). When... | |
| $5000 to spend.... Actually, save your cash ... it may take longer than you think to land a new gig. You have a really nice system ... now you have some extra time to enjoy it. If you MUST spend the money ... wait until you land a new gig and then, take off an extra... | |
| Stirling LS 3/5a? Anyone compare to older........ I believe that in this month's (or possibly last month's issue) of Hi Fi News, they do a comparison of four of the new era BBC 3/5 replacements. I forget which of the four speaker companies were compared (well, I remember two ... Spendor and Harbe... | |
| RUsh: Feedback ep So, on more than a few occasions Ben has said something that has taken root deep in the recesses of my mind and has gotten me to thinking. The culprit this time is ... "I think this record sounds plain nuts in theory." By way of background, my mos... | |
| Integrated CD/Pre + Amp or CD plus integrated amp? I thought that the idea of a preamp/cd player was a clever idea from a convenience point of view, similar in a way to an Adcom GTP 500 II preamp/tuner combination that I had used for 13 years. I own the MF CD PRE24 and use it in conjunction with a... |
