| Ok guys If the table has a hinged dustcover, it should be down. Look, it's your table...do what you want! I am sure that the reason that manufacturers included a hinged dustcover was so that it could be closed while in use. | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? I finally broke down and bought something from TMR. The rating of the item was 9/10, which turned out to be the correct rating. They were easy to deal with, even on a holiday weekend. I would do business with them anytime. | |
| Pair of 1530's to repair and sell or just sell If they were in better condition, I’d be interested. Those speakers had a very transparent sound as I recall. Too bad about the condition. As I recall those speakers sold new for around $2500. The Audiogon Blue Book shows around $700 (in decent sh... | |
| Bose 901 Back in the 60/70's, my audiophile cousin had a pair of Bose 901s. We were both new to the hobby, but I did enjoy hearing how the speakers spread the sound to give the impression of much bigger speakers. The EQ box was obviously a contributing fac... | |
| Need advice Based on your budget, you probably can't go wrong with that $149 Marantz mentioned above. Spend the leftover $50 on cassettes from a local thrift store or used record store. Check to be sure the used cassettes still have the felt pressure pad, oth... | |
| Need advice This is an easy one. Don’t bother looking for a Tandberg or Revox, they aren’t available. I look all the time and never find them. Do the smart thing and buy a higher end Nakamichi. You won’t be disappointed! I recommend the Dragon, CR-7A, ZX-9, Z... | |
| Can someone recommend replacement tubes for my MFA MAGUS A2 Preamplifier please? Here's a suggestion: call Scott Frankland (the F in MFA) and ask him directly. I spoke with him yesterday about my Magus preamp and he is very helpful. His number is (408) 926-6731. | |

| Help- audiophile husband just dies Julie, I am sincerely sorry for your loss. My best advice is not to do anything in a hurry. When you feel up to it, record the brands and model numbers for future reference. Take some time to contact some of the people named above. Albert Portis, ... | |
| Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit I'm sure it goes without saying, but I was talking about buying your A/V receiver on the used market. | |
| Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit If money is tight while you're building your system, then an A/V receiver is fine to start. You can find them cheap (sometimes very cheap) on a variety of websites. I have seen them for 10% of their original price. Try to get one from a well-known... | |

| This does not bode well for us vinyl people.... If it seems too good to be true...it usually is. I'll check it out his week. You are probably right. | |
| This does not bode well for us vinyl people.... Check out Barnes & Noble. Last time in, most of their reissue vinyl had 50% OFF stickers on them. They were the same ones I paid full price for just a year ago. | |
| Does anyone have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that reads the SACE layer I had two Sony DVP-9000ES players. I'll cut to the point. Once the laser started to go, the machines wouldn't play SACDs. I never found anything in the manual about how to correct the problem. I thought they were great sounding CD/SACD players whe... |
