Anybody remember G.A.S.
Elgordo, I also owned the same things at the same time. I remember now the GAS cartridge being my favorite as well. 
Anybody remember G.A.S.
When I was going to college I worked at a dealer part-time who had the G.A.S. line. It was heavily promoted and sold well although I didn't care for the sound,(too strident and fatigueing). I sold a lot of the GAS Grandson amps.This was so long ag... 
Cheap Thrills Dynaco A25 vs Sound Dynamics300ti?
I bought the Morel tweeters from Madisound.The folks at Layne Audio provided an upgraded crossover to balance the system. The stock A-25 (scanspeak) tweeter is great in it's own right. The Morel has better extension and openness. Thanks for the ad... 
Cheap Thrills Dynaco A25 vs Sound Dynamics300ti?
Absolutely correct. I tried a Sherwood 7310 receiver with my Dynaco A-25's and then bought a used Marantz 2220B on Ebay for $41.00( I had to clean all the pots and switches) and the sound was so much better.I gave the Sherwood to a friend and now ...

Best amp for B&W CDM1s
I had a Rotel 985MkII on my B&W CDM1NT's and the sound was very natural and dynamic.You can also improve the sound by getting some good interconnects and power cord.Most B&W dealers usually carry Rotel as there is a connection between the ...

Where does your user name come from?
I would feel more comfortable calling you Mr. Poobah. Being a peasant I have learned to respect Aristocracy.

$500-600 Used Tuner
I forgot to mention that in the tuner info website, there is a big tuner shootout with the Kenwood L-02T leading the pack at this time. Interesting in that one of the tuners it beat out is the famous Mcintosh MR-78.Hmmmmmm,I'm curious what the Mac... 
$500-600 Used Tuner
That's good news,Eric. 4yanx,stay tuned. Maybe your Sony tuner is ok after all.I keep forgetting. It's what sounds good to you,no matter the reviews.But universality helps sometimes in choosing a product. 
$500-600 Used Tuner
4yanxs,there are some other very informative threads you can browse through re:tuners here in Audiogon discussions. I don't think the Sony tuners are well regarded in the industry.Generally, analogue tuners,particularly those made in the "golden a... 
$500-600 Used Tuner
Another kept secret in bargain tuners is the Sansui T-80 tuner, early 80's vintage. It has very simple circuitry and can be found for about $30.00 on Ebay. Then send it to Ed at www.antennaperformance.com for a $100.00 mod, which consists of a tho...
