| cables for apogee duetta II Back in the day, Swiss-made Symo speaker cables were the cat's meow with Apogees and they weren't terribly expensive. They worked well with my Duetta II's but I don't recall comparing them to anything else! There is a pair on eBay right now but th... | |
| Help -- need Idiot's Guide to music server system How long does it take to copy and categorize 1000 CD's to a hard drive? Many years ago I tried to scan 35mm photo slides into the computer and gave up because it was so tedious. Are there any tips for doing this efficiently? | |

| Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp I use an Ultimate and despite the measured gain, it comes up very short with my 0.6 mV Koetsus necessitating a step-up. Interestingly, the people who do enjoy lower output cartridges directly through the CAT also seem to use CAT amps so this may n... | |
| Nagra Service? Hi Art,Dimexs in Montreal is the Canadian Nagra distributor and they have qualified techs (http://www.dimexs.com/). If your amps are out of warranty it might be better to have an experienced local tech have a look at the amps. In any event, you're... | |
| Wilson Sophia This thread strikes a warm and fuzzy chord with me because I recall stretching my budget on dream speakers during my nine years (don't ask!) of postgraduate training. "Back in the day" I sacrificed a nicer car/apartment for Apogee Duetta II's and ... | |
| Wilson Sophia Congrats and enjoy! Keep us posted. | |
