| how to fix volume/balance on Tandberg 2080 Thanks for the help. In a few days, I should be able to pull the unit from what it is doing now and make that happen. And, I may even try it myself, stopping if it looks as though trouble looms. | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? I am now in the twentieth year of using and enjoying a Tandberg 2080 receiver. It was my first entry into upscale audio at the time with a cost of about $1000. I use it for all TV sound, an audio cassette deck, and CD. It now drives the Mag MMGs. ... | |
| Better magazine, Stereophile or Absolute Sound I subscribed to AS for nearly two decades and then left as professional demands absorbed my avocational time. Stereophile was a newstand purchase, but a frequent one, over the same interval. I always enjoyed JGH and was always puzzled at HP's nega... | |

| Anything wrong with Treshold "T" series?? I have not listened to the T series, but own the Threshold S300 and the S550E. Both are excellent, with the latter wining out in just sheer power and room and better defined and deeper low-end. | |
| What speakers for an old Nakamichi receiver I think my daughter has the same feeling about her Nak. I will also be sensitive to the speaker load problem raised by Audiokinesis. I think the entry-level Maggies present a 4-ohm load and would be acceptable if they worked on all other counts. T... | |
| What speakers for an old Nakamichi receiver All of your responses show why Audiogon is the classiest site in the category. I am passing all of these along as well as those which may follow. She really likes the Nak and it is accompanied by a Nak CD changer, though I do not know the model nu... | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? Previous comments concerning cables, component identities, etc. are all on target. Another which warrants attention is the way A/B comparisons are made. My experience is that short A/B comparisons are not revealing of very much. If you have the ch... | |
