| Any recommendation for a CD changer? OP Used: I searched got advice here, my final choice: Onkyo Integra CDC-3.4 (it has has Dual Wolfson processors). Great price, features, sound! Crutchfield has it new for $400. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/303142-REG/Onkyo_DXC390_D... | |
| Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system OP btw, screen height is very important. I'm 6', donna's 5'. while sitting in viewing position, we used piles of books, until we found height that was neck friendly. Then I made a riser to position the TV above the cabinet below, and put the cen... | |
| Turntable choice for mono records OP, Unlike me, you have room for two TT's. Nice! You might consider selecting a TT with 2 arm capability as your 2nd TT, keeps future options wide open. MONO now, future: any other cartridge, your or friends, MM, MC, alternate Mono. One of thos... | |
| Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system IF you already have a 5.1 system, then using your 2.2 audio system for Video with no Surround is a viable alternative 2.2 video A. a great sounding 2 channel stereo system B1. An AVR with Preouts for Front and Preout for Subwoofers. B2. AVR c... | |
| Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system I think converting excellent Stereo to a limited video (without surround) is a viable choice. Especially if you already have a 5.1 elsewhere. Very often I change to 2 channel, cut out my center and surrrounds, it sounds better. This AVR has a fu... | |
| Need a new integrated, what say you? I certainly like the sound of my Cayin A88T, but not enough power for you, 22 wpc triode; 45 wpc ultra-linear mikeyb’s suggestion seems a good one with enough power. Cayin build quality is excellent, take the bottom off, beautiful. This review ... | |
| Goodbye Everyone asvjerry I'm gonna whine to revive this every 6 months, it seems it is good for me and many. supposed to meet heart surgeon today. all tests done, many questions, they rely on verbal trust, I want a few valve recipients to play cards with, get t... | |
| Need a new integrated, what say you? nice speakers! low efficiency 87-88 and 6 ohm dipping to 3 ohm, that is a combo that needs the right choice. Your friend's unit, 125 wpc at 4 ohms seems to fit. Will he let you hear it with your speakers? Nothing I own is right for that, and pas... | |
| Goodbye Everyone dogberry thanks for the heads up. I see the Surgeon tomorrow, all testing done, including CT Scan of heart with and without contrast completed today, sooo, he sees results, hop, skip and jump over here, what do he and I think .....happens tomorr... | |
| Turntable choice for mono records I started this discussion about TT with 2 arms https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/turntables-2-tonearms-what-do-you-have-or-know-about | |
| Turntable choice for mono records I took advice here, got a basic Grado Mono Cartridge, elliptical stylus on aluminum cantilever. Definitely better than playing mono lp with stereo cart, even if preamp has mono mode. Next, I searched for an at33 mono body with broken cantilever. ... | |
| Goodbye Everyone mikelavigne chuckt as always, it’s the lack of acknowledgement from OP. a simple ’thanks for your response’ would be nice. who raised these people? | |
| Goodbye Everyone asvjerry you are a worn out hoot! makes me feel like a teenager. I was assuming I could get off a few meds. Nope, they are gonna add more, all heart meds are for life. oh well. | |

| Blown tweeters I, and my son at every party he had, blew the tweeters of my JSE Infinite Slope Model II's. His friends would have the wrong input, turn the volume up, up, nothing, then OH, change the input: crack, sizzle, pop JSE used the highly respected Dynau... |
