Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS?
In 2-years of running my small business I have shipped approximately 1500 boxes with UPS and had only 2 claims. I double box everything and never had a single claim when I pack properly. Both claims were on items not packed correctly by me. I was ... 
Sonus Faber "Home" - what's this?
The Home series is an update to the older models and are basically new models that are definitely different than the originals. You should email Sumiko, the importer, and they can tell you the exact differences but the cabinets as well as drive un... 
Musical Fidelity A3.2pre/power vs 308 intergrated
I have compared them and I clearly prefer the 308 integrated. It is more tubelike in the mids and a little more 3 dimentional in presentation. It has loads of bass slam along with a killer high end. The 308 is $400.00 less than the 3.2 amp and pre... 
500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear.
Look at the Jolida 1501 Integrated amp. Yes, it has 2 tubes in the preamp stage. But you can expect 15,000 hours from them and they are never an issue. The amp is 100% solid state with 100 watts per channel. This is a great sounding Integrated for...

Mike,I am a dealer and 47k is the correct setting. Walter 
What do you think of this home theater system?
Check out the speakers at www.rocketloudspeakers.com. Definite step over the PSB and great with the Outlaw & Hsu. They are comparing the RS-750's to $2400.00 Paradigms as well as other more expensive products and they are doing very well. Ther... 
advice on integrated amp
First a disclaimer that I am a dealer for Jolida: You may want to check out the new Jolida JD-1501RC. It is a 100 wpc hybrid Integrated that is a real giant killer. Tube preamp stage and solid state outputs. It is not yet on the website but is bas... 
Amplifier class A/B bias question
My guess is probably between 2 and 5 watts of Class A and then A/B. At 20-50 watts it would run way to hot. Wally 
Fish'in for Speakers
Check out the Triangle Zerius. Amazing $1100.00 pair of speakers. 90% of the Class A rated Celius for 55% of the price. 92Db and easy load for tubes or SS amps as well. Wally 
Want a 5 channel amp that can drive 4 ohm loads
Get the Outlaw Audio 950 Pre-Pro and 755 amp. I believe the combo deal is $2100.00 + frt for the pair. 200 watts x 5 channels and 300 into 4 ohms. The stuff offers amazing value as it is only sold Internet Direct and will compete with anything out... 
TUBE or S/S Phono Amp with an all s/s system?
The typical rule of thumb is that the input impedance of a device should be at least 10 times the output impedance of the device connecting to it. If the Krell has a 47k input inpedance then the Phono preamp should be less than 4700 ohms. This is ... 
The best way to design an audio system.
After 30 years in the business, and lots of system design, I believe that starting with the speakers is the way to go. They do make the bigest sonic impact on the system sound. Room size, cosmetic (WAF), bass extention and level issues will be imp... 
HELP Federal Express broke it and WON'T PAY
How did you pay for it? Do you have a record of that or an email record with the price in it to use as proof to FedEx? Walter 
Best receiver for sonus f. Grand Piano under 3000
You can also get the Outlaw Audio 950 Pre-Pro and Model 770 power amp. The amp is American made with 200 watts x 7 channels into 8 ohms. The Pre-Pro has all the hot new features and I have 2 friends that use this combo and it sounds great. The com... 
Best CD Player under 2k ?
Check out the new Musical Fidelity A3.2CD. It is 85% as good as the Nuvista 3CD that is currently Stereophile Digital Product of the Year. It uses the same transport, upsampling DAC and Nuvista circuity, without the Nuvista tubes, as the $5000.00 ...
