| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jose Feliciano, 10 to 23 (1st track is a recording of Jose age 10) https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/438419?ev=rb&sort=condition%2Cdesc Very nice and the long guitar solo on Hey Jude is awesome | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry tyray I resisted MC for 30 years, the non-replaceable stylus the second reason, the 'fear' of noise from needed pre-pre-amp signal strength boost the primary reason.however, I met Bill, he is convincing, and I had improved my TT system sooo muc... | |
| Guidance on Speaker Wire make your own? I did it once, knowing nothing about wires.In 1978, age 30, I had to run 50 ft speaker wires once. Never used anything more than Radio Shack ’lamp cord’ before. My primitive instinct was, need a lot of copper.Without doing any resea... | |
| Guidance on Speaker Wire Isn't it possible to use long 'balanced' interconnects and get the amps near the speakers for shorter speaker wire? remote switched power for the amps? | |
| No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options? 10' sound different than 16' same brand? they sounded great for a few years? no way would I shorten them. a 6ft pair of speaker cables for what? future change, you might want longer than 10ft. again. you might experiment/find a more forward pos... | |

| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? ozzy62 good points, if trying to use the AVR for serious 2 channel music it will be adequate power for efficient speakers, but nothing special for sound quality.for video, these ’kind of lightweight’ multi-channel amps can do a decent job for 5,7,... | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? re: Center ChannelNot trying to be ’right’, just to explain and pass on my experiences.I have found, most of the center ’sound’ is still the phantom center created by equal sound from front l and front r mains. Another reason to get full range mai... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? tomic601 now I see it was a more of a way to get to the wine joke. good one.I took it more seriously because I think everyone should own the ones I list. they sound so good, I want everyone I imagine out there to have one.i.e. listened to Bad Comp... | |
| Denon 6500 - Am I crazy? that horribly priced thing has 11.1 surround. are you thinking of a super theater with 11.1? It’s nothing special as a 2 channel amp.Think it thru now, the cost of the speakers, proper locations, interconnects, speaker wiring, seating positions, c... | |
