| Problem with Marantz SA-8260 Rapn3,Do you know anything about a Marantz 8260? | |
| Problem with Marantz SA-8260 Sorry, a MF cd player is not the same as a Marantz sacd player. Cleaning the laser lens won't cure a chip that's overheating and needs a resistor to drop the voltage a little. Also, you pretty much have to take the transport unit out of the 8260 p... | |
| Problem with Marantz SA-8260 Macdonj,I have a lot of experience with 8260's over the past 5 years. You need to send your player to the nearest Marantz Service Center. You can go to Marantz.com and find the service center nearest your location.You most likely have the TOC read... | |

| Marantz 8001 SACD Player mods? Tvad,You know all about taking a bath on getting money back on modifications!That's why you need to be sure you want to keep the player.BTW, there's not too much Marantz left in my players.Steve | |
| Marantz 8001 SACD Player mods? Just happened to browse the threads here, and saw this one, although it's nearly two months old. I have a couple of reengineered SA-8260's, essentially the same machine as 8001, and they are fantastic.If you like the looks and feel of the 8001, an... | |
| Vienna Speakers: Compared to other Hi-end spks? VA speakers, as has been noted here, are especially position sensitive. Sumiko runs a week long seminar in speaker placement for their dealers, and it really pays off.I have auditioned the Mahlers at the VA dealer in Denver, Soundings, and the own... | |
| Shipping large speakers to Canada from US Thanks all for your responses. I was fairly sure that withNAFTA there was no duty, as didn't pay any when I bought the speakers. I never really had thought about taxes, so thanks for that. I would think that any declaration of value that is reason... | |
| Shipping large speakers to Canada from US RGD,Are the taxes to be paid at time of entry into Canada, or do I just take some kind of tax form to the buyer? | |
| recommended versions of Beethoven symphonies? The 1963 Karajan recording is not tops in sound, but is still surprisingly good if one gets one of the 20-bit remaster cd's. However, any of the more recent recordings will have better sound quality. | |
| recommended versions of Beethoven symphonies? The 1963 recording of the 9th by Karajan, released several times by DG is still the best 9th IMO.Then again, don't think I've ever heard a performance or recording of ANY Beethoven symphony that did not do the music justice. It's the music!!!! Jus... | |
| best diy or used somewhat small speaker 1200 I have built a pair of 1801's. They are simply the most musically accurate speaker, bar none. They are better than anything! The big Wilson's and Thiels will put out more bass air, but won't be more musically accurate.Unless you have a big room, t... | |

| Why do DIY products have less value ? It's all marketing!!! And everyone buys into it!Everything costs money. Onhwy61 listed a lot of things that are considerations with a purchase. They all cost. With DIY, you fix it yourself. Knowledge is everything.Remember, most audio companies we... |
