| Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors. I use VTI footplates. They are $5.00 each and come in three colors,Black,Silver and Gold. Wayfair.com sells them. | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? You should check out a used VPI HW-19 for the warmer sound you are looking for. BTW: I see a nice HW-19 Jr.with an AudioQuest arm and a Grado Platinum cartridge on Ebay for $595. I don't think you would go wrong with that setup. | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? You're kidding right? Vintage tube Marantz is always in high demand. Especially the pieces you have that are from the 1960's. | |
| Subwoofer while running bookshelves full-range Go with the SVS,it gives you the three options to play with. BTW I used the SB-1000 with Harbeth P3's running full range with great results. And the icing on the cake is that you can return it if it doesn't work out! | |
| Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6 You want warm? You should check out the Spendor line. | |
| Grado cartridge for vintage setup? The Needle Doctor will send you a new Platinum for $240 with your old one as a trade in. They don't re-tip Grado's,they replace them. If you liked the Platinum you should stick with it. BTW I don't think the Sonata is overkill but if you think the... | |
| Best way to switch between AVR and Amp? Go with the Niles. Another option is the Niles SS-4 speaker selector. If you go that route you would run the speaker cables from both amps in and one cable out to your Kefs. Either way you choose would not degrade the sound. | |
| Repair worth it? Don't waste the money on those old decks. If you like your tapes Teac still makes one ( W-890R-B) for $250. | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Kind of a no- brainer. Since you don't want to get involved with it go with your dealer. What other options do you have? | |
| Spin Clean seems to add noise to records? Thanks for the heads up! I was going to order one today and now I'll just pass. | |
| Preamp help? Stick with a tube preamp. Check out Quicksilver,I have one and it is about ten years with never any problems. The stuff is built to last! | |
| More power needed for my KEF LS50s? Easy fix! It appears you don't like the KEF sound. Consider selling them and move on. Check out a different monitor,Harbeth,Spendor,etc. We all make mistakes. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker Bmdduck, check out the Niles SS-4,it goes for $129.99. Also Parts Express sells Speaker switches. The Niles will not degrade the sound any less than a built in switch that comes with an amp. A switch is a switch! | |
| Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker Pgawan2B,just like a built in switch,always use caution. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker Pgawan2b,I've been using switches for years. How would you overload an amp if you are using one set of speakers at a time? A switch is a switch ,internal or external. |
