| B&K EX-442 Sonata Series did you try replacing the fuses on the rear panel and the internal fuses? (unplug the unit first) | |
| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? i personally don't like favor venting grievances on these forums since one side's usually not around to respond and, as stated, there's usually two sides to the story. it's good then that at least the other guy got a chance to weigh in, though i'd... | |
| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? you got to feel some sympathy for the b&m dealers, who are forced to deal with the ever-increasing number of "customers" who are there merely to audition gear to buy on the internet. on the other hand, there is still a significant class of peo... | |
| Anybody into 80s big music? not exactly the glossy, symphonic sound contemplated by the original post, but i just dusted off two 80s guitar bands which blew me away, both from alabama (of all places) and both available on spotify: primitons and carnival season. primitons, in... | |
| "All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary at various times i lived or worked near the sf, chicago and broadway towers and they really were the epicenter of my existence. as a retailer, i always had my qualms--they were pricey and sorta big-box impersonal--but they had a fantastic selectio... | |

| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? i was gonna offer "spirit in the sky", but notice it was released in 1969 (though still charted in 1970). "venus" and "vehicle" (ides of march) would fit the bill; likwise "hocus pocus" (focus) and "be thankful for what you got" (great tune). | |

| help me choosing first HiFi if i was starting all over again, with your budget, instead of the mountain of big boxes i've accumulated i'd opt for a relatively compact integrated/dac solution like a peachtree nova--haven't heard your cambridge minx, although it looks good on ... | |
| Your Help with Media Player the oppo looks like very viable, but overkill for me since i don't need its bluray/streaming functions. someone suggested offline something like the western digital wd live media player, which i could connect to my tv and avr, plug in a hard drive... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s ghost, i've previoulsy debated whether layla is overrated, but ultimately always came out on the side that says it's not. there is a bunch of filler--key to the highway and have you ever loved a woman are the sort of lethargic dross i think you're... |
