| Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables? I know this is re-starting an old thread, but I can't stand reading about auto lift mechanisms that degrade the sound of a turntable. It is probably not available any more, but my second ever turntable (after i got rid of my horrible sounding Tech... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... My most common responses are "...sounds good" and "Wow...there's a lot of detail", but my favorite came from a friend who, after listening for awhile said "Her voice is coming from there" pointing to my center channel speaker. When I told him that... | |
| where to find lead shot? I bought my lead shot at a local gun store. They carried several sizes for reloading shotgun shells. I used the smallest size they sold, to maximize density. | |
| Best JBL's you have heard I used to own a pair of 4311's - bought them in 1975, drove them with a Marantz receiver, and loved them. It was a great time in my life. | |
| Help deciding which amp to use Elevick brings up anoher point that I did not address. What are the power ratings of these amps? My comments assumed sufficient power for a home theater application. However, if the maximum power available is not at least 100W per channel, then I ... | |

| Aragon 8008BB MkII anyone? I have an 8008BB and love it! I'm driving a modified pair of Magnepan 1.6QR's (4 ohm load) and it does a great job. Wouldn't trade it for anything. | |
| Aragon versus Krell I have an Aragon 8008BB driving a pair of modified Magnepan 1.6QR's (4 ohm load) and it sounds great. Absolutly no harshness whatsoever. It is clean out to the limits of my hearing - note that its power bandwidth extends to 550kHz which limits pha... | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? For me it revolves around what I could afford. I've always wanted an excellent sounding system, and have spent the last 28 years getting there. I bought the best sounding basic system I could afford, and then slowly upgraded each weak link as I le... |
