| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? plato, this is funny - i presently am the happy owner of an o-l rb250 & a modified di/o, & i used to use a z-man for cd, but that went away when i got a tubed preamp. :>) gotta disagree about the subs, tho - vmps has true world-class su... | |
| Recommend a good value X-over w/stereo low end marchandelec.com not cheap, but not *too* expensive, compared to the bryston, & at least as good.re: paradigm x30, why not get two, these are cheap, no? or, if you're at all into diy, go here, & brew your own excellent x-overs for a verita... | |
| BEST SUB FOR MUSIC i heard a $1200 rel in my home; i've heard the 18" velodyne in a store. bottom line: i wouldn't trade my pair of vmps larger subs, adcom gfa555 amps, & marchand deluxe xm-9 x-over for a *pair* of the top-line models from rel or velodyne. i mig... | |

| Which crossover should I buy? hi kelly, i guess some folks at a-gon are more equal than others - when i attempt to post to the forums in my "native tung", the posts get rejected, as not being appropriate language for such a forum. what' your secret - do i need knee-pads? ;~) r... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps i bought a new pair of aw60ftt's from a european distributor, & proceeded to blow up one of the transformers, trying to convert it to 120v from the 220v eurospec voltage. ec had provided me w/the conversion info, but there was a huge language ... | |
| Which crossover should I buy? oh yeah, ed, regarding ktsteamer's rig, i agree that the best solution for the linns would seem to be using their own active hardware...doug s. | |
| Which crossover should I buy? ed, what makes the marchand better is the sound... ;~) just kidding, i really have no in-depth experience w/the bryston. accolades from others who *have* heard both, plus the features & price, were enough for me. regarding stepped attenuators,... | |

| Rega P3 / Music Hall MMF 5 or 7 Turntable decision oracle delphiwell tempered 'table/classic sota star sapphire all the above can be found used for $1k or less, complete w/tonearms, & sometimes decent cartridges, to boot. nothing brand-new in this price-range will come close, imo.ymmv, doug s. | |
| What have you been listening to these five weeks? randy newman's album "sail away" was written 30 years ago. it seems many of the songs could have been written after 11 sept '01... doug s. | |
| Inexpensive Pre with headphone jack recommendation the only problem w/getting a melos sha-gold is it will likely end up in yer *main* system, cuz it's such a nice preamp! ;~) the headfone amp is universally regarded as one of, if not *the* best headfone amps out there. another lower-cost option fo... |
