| Will the sound quality deminish over the years? Nonoise, I've owned alot of tuners and in house demo'd (sp?) quite a few as well. There is a quite a difference in sound quality. I'd say get another tuner. If you liked your 4300, get another. I enjoyed the NAD 1700 pre/tuner for a long time. Hav... | |
| NAD C372 versatility? If you want to retain your resale value, replacing jumpers and installing a IEC plug are reasonable options which will bring a slight improvement. The real drawback to this and other int. amps which have an A/B speaker selector switch and headphon... | |
| B&W DM600 Must have the righting pairing equipment. I thought the tweeter was on the bright side. YMMV. (I'd personally look elsewhere, but could work out for you and b/c of the name you could resell easlier.) | |
| Best Amp for $300 to Power Paradigm Monitor 9s Adcom bi-polar amp. I like the sound w/my Paradigm Phantom floorstanders.(Adcom GTA-5002/6002 and others are bi-polar amps.) Also, may want to look into B&K amps. Even though I personally have only owned one (a 60w per ch. model which designat... | |
| Hard Wireing? How about adding an IEC chassis plug? You could put one in and use the 18ga. leads and solder them to the IEC. Would require a dremil tool w/metal cutting wheel. You could then make your own power cord (say 14 guage) and use Pass seymor/Marinco en... | |
| Just a bit to bright I'd remove the NAD 326 from the mix. The right amp will make a world of difference. I'm so impressed by my most recent purchase of a bipolar Adcom GFA-5002. Heck of an amp! The 5XX series of older Adcom amps were bipolar as well as I have read. Ad... | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? We have exc. radio stations where I live so tuners are something I use and enjoy daily. These are the tuners which I own presently: NAD 402, Sansui TU-D33, Technics ST-505's, AMC T-7, Pioneer Pioneer F-447. They all sound great! I can't understand... | |
| Budget Power Amp and Subwoofer Suggestions Patrick, let me throw another choice out there. Adcom 5006/6006. Six channel amp. A very strong 50w per ch. I own the 2-ch. version, the 5002, and I think it's an awesome bipolar amp. I prefer this over my MOSFET Rotel RB-951. Hard to find but it ... | |
| Monster Z 1.2 speaker cables.... If your talking about the M 1.2S cables, don't think you'll hear much difference. Check out Atlas Equator 2's. Superb spk. cables. Very pure copper. I'm extremely impressed by these cables and I completely have no desire to upgrade. | |
| Bryston, Sansui or NAD..which amp to recondition? I personally wouldn't spend the $ on the Bryston because you'll not get the money out of it. I'd sell the 3b and get a 3B-ST. (Sell the 3b for $400-500 and get the ST for $800-900. Money better spent IMO.) I own an early 80's Sansui AU amp and it ... | |
| Once again, recuperating from surgery Reducing stress is VERY important and music is a great way to do this. Don't be afraid to take the medicine if needed. Hope you recover as best as possible. Makes one appreciate the things we have more. Bill | |
| Need a warm amp for bright speakers I would not assume the spks. are at fault. I own some Paradigm Phantoms which also have a metal dome tweeter. I own two small 50w amps (one is Mos-Fet, the other Bi-polar.) Depending on the music being played, I generally prefer the Bi-polar sound... | |
| First amp. No first hand experience w/any of them. The Denon's were not highly reviewed on "What Hi-Fi." They're European models, yes? One thing I will they you, it's all about "synergy." How components match up w/each other. Some sound great toegether, othe... | |
| CAL ICON MKII CD player replacement My RCD-971 was the model below the 991. The RCD-971 is one heck of a great sounding CDP. I'll bet the 991 is even better. Either one will sound way better than the Marantz IMO. Just make sure all is working properly w/the unit you are considering.... | |
| CAL ICON MKII CD player replacement I once had a newer Marantz CDP which I bought new a few yrs ago. Model I'm not sure of, it might of been the 6004. I personally did not like the sound. I sold and bought my Rotel RCD971. If you buy one, make sure the merchant has a return policy. ... |
