| Chinese phono pre I don't know what you mean by "inexpensive" - - I've owned a Morningstar phono preamp for about 10 years. It gets daily use and has performed flawlessly. They are no longer in production, but occasionally they turn up on the used market for less... | |

| Oppo BDP-83 and making repairs..... Thanks for the post. I've owned this model since Jan. 2010. I use it only for Blu-Ray/DVD playback - - never had any problems at all (knock on wood), but I'll keep the info on servicing the unit on file . . . just in case. | |

| Superb sounding Guarneri String Quartet bargain Thanks, folkfreak. I just ordered a copy. | |
| Audiophile LP's My favorite "audiophile" recording is the 1977 D-2-D "The Direct Disc Sound of The Glenn Miller Orchestra" (GADD-1020) The music is very fine and the sound is simply stunning. If you can find a copy, buy it. | |
| LP ? Undersized spindle hole. What noromance said: a flat blade screw driver. Been using that method for many, many years when needed, and it worked well every time. | |
| Omega single driver speakers fizz - first to answer your question: to my ears my Omegas sound very slightly forward in my 11 x 20 room.In any case, I've owned a pair of Omega Hemptones since 2005 and listen to them daily. They're hooked up to my PrimaLuna integrated, and sou... | |
