I had the 350.8 and loved it but it was like have a storage freezer in my small living room. I also found it hard to move when I wanted to change things and it has its own air space.

| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. Thanks for your resonses. The phono stage I am using now is an inexpensive pro-ject after selling off a beautiful Allnic in frustration. But through the help of a friend I was able to try various stages and found the exact same problem. I have t... | |

| Do you care about car audio? When I bought my Camry many years ago I got the upgraded soundsystem. It sounds very good but unfortunately the car is a bit noisy. I can still though listen to all kinds of music on it from digital recordings to vintage recordings going back to t... | |
