| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I must be the only one here that likes Parasound. I have had a few with the HCA-1500A the best one so far. I have two I run in mono to drive Vandersteen 3A’s, which sound really nice. At $350 each, I think it’s not only reliable, but a great value... | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade I should add that I really liked the KEF LS50's I heard with a tube amp and jazz. Can't imagine I would love with rock, but for it's size, I thought it was a good buy ... and I say that because at the time, I had found someone selling a pair for a... | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade Hi bomd, it's been about 4 years since I heard the Diamond's and it took me about 30 seconds to know they weren't for me. There was nothing interesting about them. Granted, most of my experience is with vintage speakers. But I have heard modern sp... | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade I have tried to like Wharfedale Diamonds in a few models, but couldn't. I personally wouldn't buy anything I couldn't hear, unless I knew I could get a full refund or could sell and get my money out. I will say that the best smaller speakers I hav... | |
| Recommend a budget floor standing speaker less than $1,000 I will second miketauson’s comment on Vandersteens. I currently run Vandersteen 3A’s, that I was lucky to get at a grand. Prior to that, I had the 2C’s, which easily fit in your budget. There was a comment about nil difference between floorstander... | |
| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? The only other thing I can add of any (potential) value is this. Some remastered discs do a good job of adding additional tracks that are worth listening to. I won't buy a cd any more that isn't remastered, unless it's from Japan, West Germany, or... | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade I'm a big Vandersteen lover. I don't know why more people aren't. But that can be good since you can buy 2C's between $400 - 650, depending on condition, and where you are in the country (local market). I can tell you that I have owned the 2C's an... | |
| Get my turntable fixed or buy a new one? I would imagine you should be able to get your turntable fixed for $80 - 150, if it is someone that knows what they are doing. It doesn't necessarily have to be a shop, even though that helps. But, I have heard enough stories about shops that don'... | |
| Wife trouble How do we know you aren't mca's wife pretending to be you to ask this question?Seriously, I love the replies on threads like this.There are some good ideas in here. But my question is do you have your own office room that can be your music room? I... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I can jump in with my two cents on the Supra 3.4 ply speaker wires. I got mine from Lars. Nice guy. He is not the only source in the US. You can get them cheaper at Madisound, which is where I’m going to place my next order when I figure out my le... | |
| Samsung buys Harman for $8B You gotta wonder about a company of that size that can't get a grip on the Galaxy. We don't know all the details, but on the surface, it's easy to wonder what business do they have acquiring more business until they get their house in order. But w... |
