| What should I buy for Dulcets/Harbeth You better look at other speakers,$800 will not get them! I have the Harbeths and they go used for about $1500 to $1600 used! Good luck. | |
| "Not paypal" I think Paypal is great! I like hassle free transactions. It's better than some deadbeat telling me the check is in the mail and it never shows up! As the old saying goes, "A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush!" | |
| Curious record side labeling I remember my parents had a record changer in their console that had a device with a claw like clamp that would flip the record over (78 rpm). If memory serves me right it was a Stanton. Now that was progress , early 1950's. | |
| Best Bookshelf speaker 1300.00 budget The new Spendor S3/5R2 was just reviewed in Stereophile.They list for $1595,with the usual dealer discount of 10% or more off that would be about $1450. If you can stretch it give them a look. They would be perfect in your size room. | |
| Best Bookshelf speaker 1300.00 budget New or used? If you are buying used the Spendor 3/5 or Harbeth P3ESR are great little speakers. I have owned both and they will not let you down. | |

| Curious record side labeling Many of my gatefold albums from the seventies or before come in that format. Most of them are bluegrass music. I just love to play them on my good old BSR with a ceramic cartridge tracking at about six grams or more. The sonics are to die for! | |
| Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement? Another solution is get a small inexpensive subwoofer to supplement the bass. There are plenty offerings from SVS, SUNFIRE, PARTSEXPRESS, PSB, etc. | |
| Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement? Years ago I replaced my amp with one that was three times the price and the lesser one sounded better.You can't go by price and power with this stuff,as a matter of fact I generally prefer the sound of lower power amps.Many things come into play l... | |
| Whats my weak link? It just might be his listening room .You could be spinning your wheels by replacing gear.Have him bring his gear over to your house and then you can determine what you need. | |
| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? The ouput voltage on preamp and input voltage of amp.Make sure that the preamp has the same or more so it will drive your amp to full output.Otherwise nothing else to check. | |
| Ultimate sub? Check out SVS,they make real nice subs. | |
| Advent 300 I meant pre out amp in. | |
| Advent 300 All you have to do is put a pair of interconnects between the amp out and preamp in. I have a 300 and thats what I use. | |
| wiring monoblocks to speakers I prefer longer speaker cables with my setup.How long of a run are you doing? |
