| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used I have had excellent customer service from Sumiko. When I needed spikes for my REL subwoofer they were very friendly and provided me with a set of spikes for only $10.00. I later needed an amplifier repaired and I received the same prompt and frie... | |
| Dunlavy sc-iii rubber surround separated from cone On some speakers gluing would be an easy fix, but on Dunlavys I recommend professional repair. Contact Bill at Millersound. | |
| tube amp not turning on Could be. | |
| How can you tell the quality of the recording? Every system will have a group of recordings that simply jive better with that system. What sounds good on one system may not sound good on another and vice versa. | |
| ARC CD3 MKII fuse? Do you have the owners manual? | |
| stripped allen wrench screws I do not recommend tapping a philips screwdriver or easy out into the head of those screws. In order for either method to be successful you will have to hit it hard enough that you will most likely damage the laser or something else. You will be m... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? Unsound is right. I see from your previous posts you are on a tight budget, but you want to try tubes. Why don't you look for a clean Dynaco ST70? If you don't like it you can always get your money back. Those little 3.5 watt amps you have been lo... | |
| New preamp: need to change speaker placement? Minkwelder makes some very good points, but you will not know if speaker placement needs to be adjusted until you try the new component. You also need to learn to trust your ears instead of someone else's idea of where your speakers sound best. | |

| Is bi amping really a trade off? Sometimes distortion is perceived as loudness. There is a possibility that while driving your speakers with more power you have lowered the distortion level of the speakers enabling you to increase the volume without negative affects. | |
| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? I have bought equipment I thought was ugly, but when ugly equipment sounds good it starts looking better. | |
| Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7 Johnk, Are we cross? The OP is asking for opinions of Martin Logan CLS vs Magnepan 1.7's. I gave my opinion and there is no doubt in my mind Magnepan 1.7's are better suited to the type of music the OP listens to. I do not own Magnepan speakers as... | |
| Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7 No need to read up on designs. I use my ears. If we are comparing Magnepan 1.7's to Yada's system we are not comparing apples to apples, are we. I admit Martin Logan CLS's are interesting speakers to say the least. I thoroughly enjoyed the CLS's d... | |
| Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7 Johnk, Then you didn't hear them properly set up. They need a lot of power. Wyred4Sound ST-1000 gives the 1.7's dynamics and bass that will make you think there is a subwoofer. 4 CLS 2Z's and 4 Descent subwoofers? I'm sure Gayle Sanders would be i... |
