| Power Conditioners? You need surge protection more than conditioning.Not all conditioners have surge protection.If your problem is that bad, look into whole house surge protection. They cost $200 to $250. Protect everything in your house with one device. It goes with... | |
| vintage turntables? Dual of Germany made some great turntables during the 1970s and early 1980s.Any of them will work very well. The best of best vintage Duals are the 1209, 1219, 1229, CS-5000, CS-7000, any 700 series.What many do not know is that the RCA plug wires... | |

| Now they call 80s gear vintage. The Automobile Club of America defines an antique car as over 25 years old. That's now 1983. Why not audio equipment.(A car 1948 or older is now called a Classic Car to separate them from antique). | |

| Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound? Find a Creek integrated amp with the internal phono stage added.A Cambridge Audio A3i integrated was designed by Creek. Phono is standard.NAD is a good choice as well if it has the internal phono. | |
| Motif MC 7 or MC 8 The circuit design of the popular Conrad Johnson PFR is for the most part an MC-10 in a CJ case with a remote control added. The separate MC-11 phono stage also basically became the EF-1 that sold with the PFR.The MC-10 has many higher quality par... | |
