| My first tube amp! HELP PLEASE! Tube integrated under 1000 is a tough chore. ASL, Jolida, Golden Tube, ??? If you can stretch you might find used Manley, Rogue, VTL? | |
| Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ? If you are susceptible to the chroma bug, the Pioneer, Toshiba, and Sony are all afflicted (pretty much in descending order of severity). Don't know if it's ok to say this, but there are two sets of progressive player shootouts over at Secrets of ... | |
| pioneer dv38a vs dv47 whats the difference? All the above is true, and I was hot on the trail of a DV-47A (available at about $850), until I learned that they did not fix the chroma bug issue. Dang! | |
| High quality DPL preamp? Well, Dan stole all my thunder! The Angstrom and Citation are what came to mind first, but the Chiro is also a great pick. | |
| Receiver Help for Neophite As far as specific receiver recommendations, it depends whether you must have all the latest surround formats (EX, DPL II, etc) or if basic DD & dts will suffice. Also, how many digital sources do you anticipate? The Outlaw, while a fine value... | |
| Receiver Help for Neophite I must respectfully disagree somewhat with the Psychic (but then, you already knew I would ;-)If you must build the entire HT system for under $2k you really can't afford a lot for wires, cables, interconnects, etc. And the cabling can be very com... | |
| A dedicated HT speaker used under 2,000.00/pair For HT and for the $, you can get a new pair of NHT 2.9 for $1500 (listed at $2700 but being discontinued), or the newer VT-2.4 for the same, and used VT-2's for under a grand. | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? Can the responses be somehow routed thru Agon, and the offeror required to post a For Sale ad, with first dibs being granted to the poster of the Wanted ad? Obviously some logistic concerns to be worked out, but this gets it on a more or less equa... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off Tho I'm more of a lurker/learner than poster, I'll miss your contributions, but perhaps your future contibutions will be more significant to all of us here. Let us know where and under what namesake you will be hanging your hobbyist hat.Tim | |
| Serious scare over hearing loss Scott,As with so many blessings in life, we can take much of our senses and health for granted. I'm very glad to hear (no pun) that your problem was reversible. It is also timely for me in that my wife's cholesterol is very high for no apparent re... | |
| Pre with phono and headphone 1000 used? Sorry for not responding ... lost track of the thread. I have a 5.1 (four channel) amp. In the intevening period, I bought a pair of Sennheiser 580's. Don't sound too bad right off the jack on the CDP. | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? I trust there was some separation between those two events? Or I'm never offering to change discs at your house ;-) | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? As with the other thread, I'd go for the music. While my system and collection are both pretty modest, like Craig I get much more satisfaction from discovery of a new artist or piece of music I enjoy, and get more enjoyment when I lose myself in t... | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? Much like Albert, one of our cats had taken up mountain climbing, and was perched high on an adjoining precipice (shelf). Apparently, he suddenly realized mountain-climbing is not yet an olympic sport and decided to switch to the vault. Or he beca... | |
| Need some advice on a good a/v receiver Haven't heard anyone describe Yamaha as "warm" (and I own one) - besides NAD and Denon, consider B&K, Nakamichi, and Rotel. If you can live with basic DD/DTS the Nak AV-10 is a very good choice for musicality. |
