| looking for a phono amp-used $100 to$300 I think that there is a Lehman Black Cube w/PWX power supply posted recently for $350; a very good deal at that price and worked just fine w/my VK3i. | |
| System help with Vandy speakers NEWBIE A little hard to give some advice w/o knowing what your budget and new/used feelings are. An easy comment is that you should go to component video cables from the cable source to the TV. The Vandys are very nice speakers and work well w/many kinds... | |
| Good speaker wire limited budget Spica Angelus DH LAbs Silversonic T-14. Used about $10/ft per pair. | |
| Is your turntable spinning while you clamp down? You've got it right, Matchstikman. Clamp, power up, play, power down, unclamp. | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? Twl- You are dead on about the ZH-270, with one exception that may be important to Mike. It has two line level inputs, switchable on the front panel. It is an absolutely outstanding amplifier. If you use CD and phono, get a great outboard phono st... | |
| Anyone has experience w/Shure E3C or E5C Go to headfi.com and you can find lots of threads and full-featured reviews comparing these "canalphones". General consensus seems to be that the Etys are more neutral and the Shures more "exciting". I have only tried the Ety 6s which are quite ni... | |
| What items do you rarely ever see offered for sale Marco- re: Florida- Once every 4 years or so, IIRC. ;~) | |
| Need Help With Vandesteen 2WQ Sub Mlkiz- The WQ is not a real "thumper" like a traditional HT sub. If you have a more or less full range main speaker the effect is not dramatic. Also make sure you have it in phase with the mains in terms of polarity both with respect to the mains ... | |
| Please help an aging, music deprived mom Since it doesn't sound like you have a pre, I am going to suggest a Caiyin integrated at about $500 used, or $800 new and a Yamaha tuner T-85 maybe or T-2 and then get the tuner aligned. Should be able to get it in at your budget. | |
| Best musical sub around $1k Vandersteen 2WQ new at $1400, used about $800.00. But you do have to spring for the fixed filters; try and find aftermarket which are made with higher quality parts than OEM. 3, 8" w40 oz magnets. 300 w onboard amp. | |
| noise...from preamp or amp??? Sounds like tube rush to me. | |
| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? I had about 1 hr with the 4IIISEs driven by my Berning ZH-270. It was a small room, maybe 12 x 14. Bass was incredible, other than that I just listened. Felt it had plenty of power. It was running direct from Res Audio 21, using the volume on the ... | |
| Please Advise: Pre-Amp RIGHT channel OUT Sean- that's what i thought when I brought my 20 y.o. top of line Yammie pre in w/the same problem. $150 later, I got a cleaned but not repaired unit back!!! Yikes. Guess who lost me repair business? Too bad, they are only 2 miles from my house. | |
| re-finish of dunlavy speakers? Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but everyone knows butt-ugly! I would think that the mods would reduce re-sale. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Slipknot- I had an SP9Mk2 in my system not too far before I got my Syrah. Its a VERY significant improvement to the Syrah. Can't even imagine what the Chenin will do. You should be a very happy camper. You can use the waiting time to shop for some... |
