| Speakers with max of 32" high Spendor A3 and A5 are both under 32 inches high. | |
| Question about replacing 12AU7 tubes. For your information,a 12BH7,5963,5814 can also replace a 12AU7. So if you find those types matched you can use them. | |
| HELP Monitor speakers for vintage components???? I have owned the Spendors and I thought they were a great little speaker. You should be able to get a used pair for under $700. Just be patient and a pair will come up! | |
| Phono Amp to replace Pass Aleph Ono Check out Quicksilver's new one. I have the older version and I think it is outstanding. | |
| Amp Suggestion for Harbeth C7es3 You can get a new pair of Quicksilver Mini Mono's for $1200. There is a used pair going for $800 over at Audio Asylum. Harbeth's sound real nice with Quicksilver. | |
| Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years Check out SoundStageDirect.com | |
| Placing Lamps Behind Speakers I don't see any problem. Years ago I had Vandy 3A's about one foot from rear wall with no problems. | |
| Tubes at idle I wouldn't fret about preamp tube wear since they last for years. I have 70 year old vintage radios and the original tubes are still fine. | |
| Bed BATH AND BEYOND I already have that Crosley with a Koetsu Coralstone Platinum.Outstanding! | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? Another option is SOTA. They make nice tables with arm included (REGA). Check out the Moonbeam or Comet. | |
| Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors. I use VTI footplates. They are $5.00 each and come in three colors,Black,Silver and Gold. Wayfair.com sells them. | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? You should check out a used VPI HW-19 for the warmer sound you are looking for. BTW: I see a nice HW-19 Jr.with an AudioQuest arm and a Grado Platinum cartridge on Ebay for $595. I don't think you would go wrong with that setup. | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? You're kidding right? Vintage tube Marantz is always in high demand. Especially the pieces you have that are from the 1960's. | |
| Subwoofer while running bookshelves full-range Go with the SVS,it gives you the three options to play with. BTW I used the SB-1000 with Harbeth P3's running full range with great results. And the icing on the cake is that you can return it if it doesn't work out! | |
| Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6 You want warm? You should check out the Spendor line. |
