| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Lug-man- Glad to hear you are well enough to come home, although maybe you should be thankful they did't do it in the drive-up lane ;~). Really, good to hear from you. Heal fast. Your friends are thinking about you often. | |
| Fedex or UPS? Prpixel- remind me to buy my next amp from you! | |
| Adcom GFA 555 II too harsh for EPOS M12.2's? If you do not already own the Adcom, I would recommend a McCormack DNA 0.5, if you can stretch your budget to about $600.00 Tons more refinement and detail than the Adcom, with a built in upgrade path. | |
| Fedex or UPS? You do, but you can minimize the risk by making sure that the amp CANNOT shift in the inner box (2-3 layers of large bubble wrap is good) and then placed in a 2nd box with peanuts tight between 2 boxes. For a heavy, dense item like an amp, peanuts... | |
| Best budget universal CD/DVD player? Spindrifter- Still need to quantify your $ requirements. Right now, Denon 2900 stock unit sells for $500-600. Assume that there are cheaper, as well. What do ya got ta spend? | |
| Best budget universal CD/DVD player? What's inexpensive, to you. | |
| HELP Frustrating DVD Player/Component Cable Prob Two possible problems come to mind. 1. Jack color coding is not alway standard. Check the labels on the jacks themselves. 2. As you said, "new Sony DVD Changer isn’t able to output 480i from the component jacks." The Toshiba LCD is able to accept ... | |
| Best Way to Ship & Insure Small, High Value items? USPS is slow to pay off claims, that's for sure. Took me over 6 months with a very patient buyer helping out. But registered mail would get you paid, eventually, if it was lost. As far as liklihood of getting a small high value product to the rece... | |
| Embarassing newbie question re: tonearm cables IIRC, my OL Silver came with a cable. Most tone arms take din at arm end to RCA at phono stage end. Some are right angle DIN, some are straight. I think the Silver was right angle. However, your dealer/seller should be able to fill you in on this. | |
| Distortion and popping from new speakers Depends on a lot of factors, including CD output voltage power rating of amp, and sensitivity of speakers. | |
| How does the Ayre System Enhancement CD work? So the consensus is that this thing works? No magic pebbles or tin foil here? | |
| NAD AV 316 vs NAD C 350 Andreas- I own a 316. Not sure what you mean "its not an integrated amp". By definition, and integrated amp has volume control, source selection, and amplification on one chassis. In this case, it is a Dolby Pro-logic integrated amp. It does not h... | |
| Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth? I must admit I liked my Wave 8s and MG Head, but had problems with a passive impedence matching device (reference tools) for headphones. Given the simplicity and absence of any active circuitry, a DOA NIB unit does not inspire confidence. But Trel... | |
| Amplification Recommendations Please McCormack DNA 0.5 is a great 100 wpc ss amp with a well defined upgrade path via SMcAudio | |
| New Mullard Reissue EL34 If you do a search, you will find, IIRC, that the Mullard name has been purchased, and these are being manufactured in Russia. But please search on this, because I may be wrong. Again, if I remember, member Albertporter posted on this. He is proba... |
