| Classical music for Rockers Give a listen to Ralph Vaughn Williams: Symphony No. 7, "Symphonia Anartica". The Naxos label version is excellent and at a budget price. Very dramatic! Wind machines! Bombastic climaxes! for all you rock dudes. | |
| Sound quality of Rhino Records remasters? It really depends upon when the title was released. Rhino has alot of product out there. You'll see titles that were released ten or more years ago. You'll also see stuff which is only a year or two old. Check the copyright date on the disc case. ... | |
| What is the best receiver Marantz put out? Saul Marantz had nothing to do with the 2200 series. He had long since sold the company and its name. | |
| What's so bad about Sovtek 6922s? I've had better results with the Sovtek 6922 supplied by Audible Illusions for the L-1 preamp than with the replacements purchased from Upscale Audio which were 70's vintage Sovtek 6922's. The AI's have better microphonics, a more extended and air... | |

| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Let me add that the only solid state receiver from that era that sounds good was the Advent 300 receiver due mostly to an expertly designed phono by Tom Holman. | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? All the hoopla about 1970's-1980's receivers as having terrific sound and build quality is mostly hype. First of all, the dramatic rise in prices for these units is being driven by Ebay. Why not overpraise an old, essentially useless, piece of equ... | |
| Has anyone tried home-made PCs offered on AudiogoN I've just installed a Signal Cable AC cord. It's only been a few days but clearly the improvment in sound is surprising.
