| Improving sound of Marantz SA-8260 SACD PLAYER Yes, adding an affordable DAC would be a sensible upgrade. Just don't go wasting money on fancy "touted" cables and power cords (cheap here is just as good as expensive - unless you are a snob!). | |
| Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings You might have a wrinkled ribbon or a broken lead at one end! Either is fixable! Don't throw them away! | |

The Carver ribbons are rather simple in design. A frame holding a front-and-back magnet array, with ... | |
| Out goes the Old, In comes the New! Cost: $399 w/free shipping from Sam Ash! The only thing lacking is an extra 0 in the price for snob appeal! | |
| Out goes the Old, In comes the New! Michael Green: How about that Crown Drive Core 2 XLS 1502. Over 300 wpc and 8.6 lbs! I bet it would embarrass any multi-kilobuck audiophile amp! If I didn't already have too many amps I'd be buying one myself! This is the future - affordable quali... | |

| I'm happy with my cleaning method of LP's but am I missing anything? The more tweaking a hobby requires, the more fun it is! If CD players required as much tweaking as TTs, audiophiles would be much happier! | |
| I'm happy with my cleaning method of LP's but am I missing anything? Good for you golden210! Welcome to the Analog world! I still buy, clean and use second-hand vinyl - even though I have piles of CDs! Different strokes ... | |
| Am I underpowered on my QSC 1500a amplifier? No! Your QSC amp will do substantially more than 300 watts at lower than 8 ohms! So connect your speakers in parallel - + to + and - to - ! It will probably deliver close to 500 watts at 4 ohms! | |
