| Upsetting story looking for a solution Sorry to hear about your predicament. If I've learned anything from speaker listings here on Audiogon, it's that dented/poked tweeters have no negative effect on the sound and shouldn't keep you from listing them at what a non damaged pair would g... | |
| Affordable amp suggestions to go with DALI-Zensor 1 speakers I can heartily recommend the yamaha m4 in that price range. This (semi) vintage amp sounds better than it has a right to in this price category. It looks like run of the mill, black box garbage, but sounds anything but, so don't be deceived by thi... | |

| Recommendation for Integrated Amp with Tone Controls Is used gear an option?A restored "vintage" piece might be your best bang for the buck. The Sansui Integrateds seem to have a loyal following, and could be found within your budget. Accuphase and McIntosh gear of the same vintage might be a little... | |
| Aragon 8008ST needs work and I'm hoping to find a good repair shop in the Boston MA area I can recommend two NY shops if you’re willing to travel south of Albany. I believe both would be a shorter drive than Boston. I’ve been very impressed with Hudson Valley Hi-Fi in Florida, NY (talk to Mike). They completely restored a vintage Mara... | |

| ... Best Live Recordings ( other than Classical or Opera) on CD... Two great live recordings that capture the feel of being "there".Experience: Jill Scott 826+ 2-disc set (Larger D.C. venue)Eryka Badu Live (smaller club venue) | |
| Help with system/ARC noise I'm not sure if you have any hdmi cables connected to the oppo ( to send video to a tv perhaps?) if so, try disconnecting all hdmi cables before tracking down a separate CD player. | |
| Help with system/ARC noise Biggiglypanda,I was researching the oppo dvd players recently, and vaguely remember reading posts about the 105 popping issue. I think it had something to do with a firmware issue and certain ( digital ) inputs. I believe there is a downloadable f... | |
