| Plugs for Nautilus 801s Hi Illgble,I have ordered a replacement tweeter cover through my local (Portland, OR) dealer with no problems. It took a couple of weeks to arrive, but the dealership was nothing but helpful and friendly. Maybe you should go through another dealer... | |
| How to replace a B&W nautilus 802 tweeter Hi Mskvarenina On my N801s, the front of the tweeter housing locks on with a partial twist. If you carefully grasp the plastic around the front of the tweeter "bullet" and steady the rear part with your other hand, the front section can be twisted... | |

| Reason for buying old/classic turntables I can remember when DD was the main player, that Thorens prided itself on staying with belts, claiming that they could improve any direct-drive unit by adding a belt. | |
| SME 309 vs SME IV - sonic differences? Jfrech--I also use a IV.Vi arm, but mine did not come with the damping trough. My trough was an add-on option which wasn't cheap. Maybe the 20/2 table comes complete with the trough, but I don't think that IV.Vi arms come with one.Bill | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? Hi Dh4kimWill 12" drivers produce slam in a 12 by 12 room? I think that they will, but this is very subjective. How much slam do you want? I think that slam is probably a sort of coloration, but for me it is a euphonic coloration. I like to feel t... | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? Hi Dh4kimAsking for the "best" of anything will generate multiple impressions. For slam, a driver/drivers with a large radiating surface is necessary. Slim towers with multiple 6 or 8-inch drivers won't do. At least 10-inch driver(s) are needed. T... | |
| Help with Thorens TD-125MKII Hi Sabocat59I picked up an old 125 a few years ago to play with and ended up parting some of it out. On mine, the particle board was actually held on by the wood screws affixing rubber feet to the underside. Good luck.Bill | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston Hi Alexv I biamp my 801Ns with Mac tube and solid state amps, and am very happy with the results. That being said, I think that if your system sounds bright to you, adding more power to the bottom end won't change the way your current amp comes ac... | |
| Which channel gets the vocals on Nowhere Man? Hi CyclonicmanSince it appears from the responses that things were reversed in your car, the question now is whether the radio station or your car system is wired incorrectly.Much easier to correct if it's at your end. Bill | |

| Help me buy a magical pre-amp that doesn't exist Hi You might consider the B&K PT5. It covers all your requirements except the MC input. It's available used for $300-$400. Bill | |
| bi-amping with Mc352 and Mc2102 Hi Larry I am biamping a pair of N801s with MC1000s and an MC2000. I love the way it sounds, the tube amp smooths out the highs and has a sweeter midrange than the solid state amps. By itself, the MC2000 just didn't have enough balls for the 801s.... | |
| Monster Alpha Genesis 2000 rebuild? Hello Frogman I have a Benz-Micro Ruby that I had retipped at Vandenhul. If you do this, it changes the sound of the cartridge, slewing it towards a Vandenhul type of sound. If you want to maintain the original sonic characteristics of your Genesi... | |
| custom built rack's. Hi again Bigjoe. I forgot to mention that the Sanus Euro bases make great amp racks, and will accomodate almost any amp, including yours. Good Luck. Bill |
