| Is there any "volume attenuater" I looked at passives for a long time and even the best ones are pretty expensive for what you get. If you are at all handy go to DACT (Danish Audio Connect)and they will tell you how to build one yourself using their attenuator. The DACT is a firs... | |
| Modications to the Dynaco ST 70? I have done modifications and restoration of a few dozen 70s over the years. The AVA is excellent as far as quality and instructions but sounds kind of sterile to me. I would first try rebuilding the original board with spec parts. Pretty easy if ... | |
| Woodworkers ? Done stuff like this a 1000 times. This will work if the scratch is not too deep. Use 600 grit wet/ dry paper with water. Then finish with 1500 grit wet/dry. DO NOT USE 220. This will only produce more scratches I guarantee. Do be a little careful... | |
| Help How do I ship Maggies?? Not sure where you live but check into an Air Freight company at your airport. They will probably be faster and cheaper than ground service. I sent a pair of JBL S8R Olympus' (250 lbs. each and big) 1500 miles using air and it was the most economi... | |
| It never ends.... GROUNDHOG DAY. 35 or so years ago my first system consisted of some speakers and a Marantz 7 and an 8B. I thought it was the cats butt. Been thru DOZENS of amps since then. Last week I bought an 8B after hearing one at a friends house. The price h... | |
| Best value speakers available My first vote would go to the wood nOrh 4.0. You could spend a lot more and get a lot less. | |
| Best Tuner under 500? Either the Quad FM4 or the MD FT-11 would be good choices and for much less than $500.00. You can usually pick up a MD 101 or 101a used for less than $5 bills. | |
| Help with tube amps Probably one of the best deals out there would be to find a used Quicksilver GLA. Low maintenance. Auto biasing. Well built and sounds great. No longer made but desirable and occasionally for sale. | |
| Feedback on Magnum FT-11 I have owned a 101a and the 101. I have also had the Parasound. I currently have a Quad FM4 and the FT-11. Without getting mushy about any of them here is MHO. First off forget about the Parasound. It is a very mid fi tuner and if you want somethi... | |
| Any "nOrh" product users out there? I have a pair of nOrh 7 speakers in the Wood and a pair in the black Marble. I was previously a SF user and had Concertinos, Concertos, EAIIs and finally a pair of Signums. IMO the nOrh are an all around better sounding speaker. I guess that point... | |
| Best Integrated amp under 1k I think Audio by Van Alstine is selling their new integrated for around $1K. Have not heard it but I have other AVA equipment and Frank always provides a lot of bank for the buck. | |
| What equipment do you really like? My Marble nOrh 7. I kinda laugh every time I read in an audio mag that someone used a knuckle "rap on the cabinet" test to test build quality etc. I am also really taken by the looks of the Densen equipment. Their B-100 and DM-10 are some of the c... | |
| Comments on Rega Planet 2000 CDP?? I have a Planet and have used it for about 2 years. I got a 2000 loaner and listened to borh for a few days. I could not determine a difference that would cause me to dump the original. Particularly on the used market the original is a very good v... | |
| best all around monitor The nOrh Marble 9 ($3000.00) followed closely by the Marble 7 ($2000.00). TNT Audio reviewed and called the Marble 9 the finest 2-way on the planet. | |
| Heaviest Amps ever made. The VTL Wotan MB-1250s weigh 335 lb. each. 670 lb. a pair. |
