| Sony TTS 3000 turntable repair I had several of them , they were good tables. About 1970 when they were current I decided to get another arm board, I couldn't find any so I went out to the huge Sony distribution center , in Queens I think. They looked all over the warehouse for... | |
| Power Amp Doubling Output at 4 Ohm A perfect transistor amp would double every time you halve the impedance. Ones with big enough power supplies more or less do this. If you have inefficient speakers that have low impedance this is an important consideration. But it is not the only... | |
| Accuphase Vintage Have you tried any 3 pin? I assume that the chassis has a male plug. Some of my Meridian units have a 2 pin plug but I am able to use 3 pin cords with them. | |
| Phono preamp A Frenchman looking for advice in the land of freedom fries? Just kidding. Have you looked at the ASR, it has a very good reputation and should be available over there at a good price. | |
| Advice for wiring sub Get a powered sub that can take its signal from the amp output. REL can do this , I think Hsu also as well as others. Check specs to see if the sub accepts high level as opposed to line level input. It will derive a mono signal from the two stereo... | |
| How large is your music collection? About 3000 LPs and 3-400 CDs. | |
| Yacco Whirly Wisp or Cauda Equina interconnects? Are you sure you aren't making these names up? I thought Yacco was one of the characters on THE WARNER BROTHERS cartoon show. WHIRLY WISPS??? Tell me I didn't sleep through winter and it's April first again! It must be that all the good, nay, all ... | |
| Best speakers for my MC225 under $2000 Spendor 2/2 actually better and may be cheaper. I have a pair I bought several years ago on here for less than 1K. | |
| Good Phono Stage for Benz Micro Ace. Dynavector P-75. | |
| Do power cables mAke difference on powered woofer I am running Gutwire B-16s on my RELs and think it makes a difference. Haven't done double blind tests as they are hard for one person to set up. | |
| Worried about Denon 103R high tracking force on LP No, years ago Decca did an experiment where they played a record several hundred times and then examined it for wear with a microscope. They were using 3.5 grams and found none. The cartridge they were using had a very good stylus, the polish on t... | |
| Luxman 3045 mb I had two pairs of them around 1981. The only thing I hated about them was the old fashioned screw strip for speaker wires. I even bought some new ones but the guy I took it to insisted there wasn't room to install them. I am not sure in retrospec... | |
| Vinyl Front End Upgrade I almost bought a Xono before I became a dealer again. I ended up with Dynavector , their 75 is a very good phono stage and exceptional for $750. There is an upgraded one on here for $525. Blue Circle also makes some very good ones. I have the 707... | |
| Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology? I would get plasma, I have had both and plasma is better. I paid $1200 for a 50" Panasonic over a year ago , they are probably cheaper now. The only problem is how bad a lot of the HD is,I have Direct but they have no control over the original sig... | |
| Denon DL-103SA VS DL-304 I am still using it. I am a Dynavector dealer but things have been so slow that all I am carrying right now is their 75 phono stage, which is the best for the money I have ever used. A friend has the 20Xl [I think] in his system and it sounds good... |
