Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer
Thanks everyone for your advice/assistance - got some research to do! And btw, it's been years since I posted on Audiogon - which forum should this have gone in? 
Please Help - Int Amp Problem - Can't Firgure Out
The balance control works perfectly with headphones. Based on what person said above I thought the speakers might be out of phase. I researched that and it seems the test for that is to reverse the polarities of the speaker cables on one of the sp... 
Please Help - Int Amp Problem - Can't Firgure Out
I have no Y adapters. It's definitely NOT the speaker cables. I have spade connectors, and it's not bi-amped. Just a simple red to red and black to black - kind of hard to mess up. I tried the speaker cables on the A channel and on the B channel -... 
Best Digital Audio CDR for standalone CD Recorder?
I checked out the links, and wow! Is there anything intermediate? You know, like better than Sony/Philips/Maxell, etc. but not quite as pricey as those other ones? If not, that's cool, just checking...I'd still like to know anyone else's experienc... 
Best Digital Audio CDR for standalone CD Recorder?
Best and cheapest? Oxymoronic, to me.Ok, fair enough! LOL I guess what I meant to say is, what's the best, and then what's the cheapest price they're available at? 
A tweak that will tame the digital-ness
Sorry to revive such an old thread!I just purchased a pre-owned factory reconditioned Harmon Kardan CDR-2 cd recorder. It can burn at 1X. Do you think using Taiyo Yuden or Mitsui gold CDR's as described above burned at 1X on this unit will garner ... 
Good Power Cord for TRL Modded Sony SCD-CE595???
I just left a message for Paul Weitzel. Any idea what he charges for his power cords? 
Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers
I was looking at someone's system on Audiogon yesterday, and my entire system cost less than their least expensive component, and it was a cable (if you can even call that a component). I'm thrilled with my system, it being a huge step above what ...

Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II
Thanks, Timrhu! :-) 
Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II
Thanks Artk!Yeah, I've decided not to upgrade my speakers unless I'm taking a quantum leap foward. Too much hassle for something very similar or that would perhaps be a TINY bit better. I'd rather upgrade my cd player, get a couple of upgraded pow... 
Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II
I don't want to go to his house and bother him unless I'm pretty sure I'm going to want them if I like what I hear and now I'm thinking against it. I wouldn't just buy them without hearing them first though...Yeah, I'm in the market for a Tube Res... 
Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II
Thanks, Sam! I didn't expect to actually find anyone who had heard both models.Yeah, I can listen to them before I buy and I still might, but it's through Craigslist, and I don't want to jerk the guy around by listening unless I seriously think I ... 
Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II
No, the 11se Mk II's were made from 1989 to 1992 or so, and the Monitor 7's started with version 1 in 1998 and now they're on version 5. I'm guessing the v.3 of the Monitor 7's are about 2001-2003 or so.Do you think they'll sound better than the 1... 
Paradigm: Monitor 7 v.3 Better Than 11se Mk. II
I didn't put a question mark at the end of the subject line, but that's the question. Are the Monitor 7 v.3 better than the 11se Mark II's?
