| Opinions on McIntosh MR7083 Tuner From what I have been reading about tuners lately, the Mac tuners are no where near as good as the 78 and 80 and even some of the earlier models. They just can't afford to build them like they used to. The best tuners are still the ones built in t... | |
| phono preamp capacitor upgrades?? Power supply electrolytics can lose their ability to hold a charge over a period of time, especially if your equipment is not used for a long period of time. They will probably last about ten years or so. They can be reconditioned but it's usually... | |
| DVD Regions - Any Workaround? Most warranties are only 90 days anyway for labor. But if you buy one that is factory converted like mine you don't have to worry about it. The Sampo is a very low end player and only cost me 149.00 but it does have a full one year warranty on par... | |

| Marking Items Sold And what's even worse is when you enquire about an item and get no response. | |
| Anyone had problems with a recone job? It will have to break in again just like when it was new. | |
| What Have I done? Shorted an amp? Have you contacted Roland Research? | |
| McIntosh vs. Krell Comparison Stereophile's review of the 1201 thought that it had some upper end glare. | |
| Any phono sections with adjustments on fly/front? I have an SA-9 that sounds truly wonderful and it will take two separate tonearms although one needs to be a moving magnet or high gain moving coil. It has all the loading adjustments on the front as well as a gain control. I had the gain control ... | |
| How are the phono sections in lower priced BAT??? You can't get a phono section for the 5i can you? | |
| How to? Add a Pre/amp for 2ch to a HT receiver The pass-thru bypasses the circuitry and volume control in the preamp. You should also be able to use the tape loop. |
