A lot of very delicate wires are connected the mother board. Once I get this fixed, I won't accept another fo... | |

| Personal speaker evolution 1968- 72: Built-in speakers on a Concord 555, tube-type, reel-reel, stereo tape recorder. Even as I moved on to better speakers, I kept the tape transport, as it sounded petty good for my needs.72-78: Bose 501: Big bass, with an East Coast mumble.... | |
| What amp do use to drive your Klipsch Cornwall I, I have the Cornwall III's, I use a new McIntosh MA6600 for the pre-amp section only, driving an older pair of Luxman MB3045 tube monoblocks, 50 watt/ch. The sound is fantastic, although at times I wish I had a little more power.I found the 200 wat... | |
| Mcintosh 6900/Klipsh Cornwall III - a good match? I own Cornwall III's, initially driven by a MAC MA6600. At 200 w/ch, the horns were easily over-driven (when pushed to their physical stops at high volume levels) the distortion became quite jarring. I remedied that by using only the MAC's preamp ... | |

| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality The Edirol UA-5 made by Roland, retails about $225, comes with drivers, it will make about as good of a transfer as a non-professional is likely to make. Then a good parsing application, I use Roxio with Jam, another $100. But make no mistake, you... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Bose 501, for the first 12 years, Infinity RS6 w/EMIT, for the next 25 years to present, which is the speaker for the foreseeable future, because I can't afford the B&Ws I desire. | |
| Most PRACTICAL, yet good sounding REEL to REEL ??? Teac A3340 is a mid-1970s' high end deck that they made 100,000's of. I found mine for $250. The 2006 Orion Blue book is $414 > $244 depending on condidtion (DoC). Also don't forget Teacs' professional division Tascam, I found a Tascam A22-4 (E... |
