I've been considering buying a 40" or maybe 43" TV to use as a computer monitor, but am not sure how well it would work for use as a main computer monitor for work-from-home 8 hours/day. Does anyone have first-hand experience doing this? I see that the price of a 43" 4K high-resolution TV at...

We found out yesterday that our little buddy (Cubbie) has an enlarged spleen. He wasn't eating much and had lost weight over the last few weeks (went from 12lbs to 10lbs), so we took him to the vet. Turned out his spleen was about 3X normal size. Vet suspected lymphoma, but small sample taken...

Even though I don't actually play the drums anymore, I was listening to some classic rock the last few days and got to thinking about how some songs are just fun to play the drums to, even though they aren't very difficult to play. Thought it might be "fun" to see what other drummers consider...

So, I got the pair of AKG K240Studio that I asked Santa for this year, but am not yet sure what to think of them. I seem to be getting mixed results depending on what equipment I'm using to drive them. Was hoping to get some advice/feedback to help me decide if these were a good choice for my...

Looks like I need to replace my grill cover soon. It's only lasted about 1-2 years and is starting to deteriorate from the Arizona sun. Rain has been getting into the grill lately from the cracks in the material, etc. Has anyone living in the great Southwest found a decent grill cover that...

Need to start making some decisions on which gear to keep. To that end, I have a SL-1500 MK1 that is a potential rehab project and I've been wondering ... if I were to install a Rega RB-250 tonearm on it, would that elevate it much above any of the others shown below? (in terms of sound quality...

LMAO! Former Porn Star Needs Surgery After Hockey Puck Deflates Breast Implant If you want/need the details: https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2018/07/30/former-porn-star-needs-surgery-after-hockey-puck-deflates-breast-implant/

Just noticed these last night ... listed for $100, so not a score per se, but these are nice sounding speakers IMHO. I bought a pair many years ago (paid $200 (half price) for a scratch and dent pair) and was impressed with them, especially the low end, seeing as they only have one 6.5"...

Do you know of any movies that contain an outstanding musical performance that is part of the actual movie. What I mean is that the performance itself was part of the story. Generally, this would mean one (or more) of the actors would have to be portraying musicians. Musicals and musical...

Looks like our "friend" Dave is back at it in the Phoenix area, this time listing a Pioneer SX-1080. He has been listing various high end receivers at cheap prices all over AZ (Yuma, Flagstaff, Phoenix) for about the past year. I'd suggest you stay away, as others have reported that it's likely...

Maybe this topic has been discussed before ... I've always wondered about the general relationship of amplifier Power Output vs. THD. I know that the topic of maximum power vs. THD has been discussed at length from the perspective of manufacturer's trying to gain marketing advantage by claiming...

Anyone been using this cassette deck? I might make an offer on a package deal that includes this deck and was wondering if it would be worth hanging on to, seeing as I already have a working Aiwa AD-F770 and a non-working Pioneer CT-F1000 waiting in the wings. The frequency response specs...

Well, "globes" actually. :) Picked up these JVC/Nivico GB-1E globe speakers yesterday. I certainly didn't need them, but they were just too cool to pass up! They're omni-directional, so you get the stereo affect regardless of your listening position. It's seems weird at first, but then it's...

This is my first post in the Marantz forum, as I haven't owned any Marantz gear yet. However, that's about to change, as I'm picking up a 1060 integrated amp tomorrow morning (woo hoo!). This is supposedly a 1-owner unit that was taken out of storage recently. Current owner tried to power it...

Never heard of Bill Fitzmaurice before. Looked him up on the web, seems to be a DIY speaker designer. I'd be curious to hear if anyone's built or listened to one of his speaker designs. These are local DIY builds using his Short Line Array design plans. They sure are big! LOL

Any ideas? Apparently there are no markings anywhere on the outside. The grilles look like something I've seen before, but haven't been able to come up with anything searching online. The black wood inlay in the side of the box seems rather unique. It's a two-way, with 10" woofer.

I am thinking about signing up for Bartertown as I'd like to thin the herd a bit. I was just wondering how buy/sell transactions are typically handled on BT. Is it all based on trust/honesty? (i.e., you send me the money, then I'll send you the item, or vice versa). I'm honest and...

NOAF. Sigh ... women just don't get it, do they? :LOL http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ele/5597856876.html

Any thoughts on what a functioning Technics SL-1500 turntable with a broken tonearm & no dustcover, along with a salvaged Rega RB250 tonearm from a NAD turntable (not installed), might be worth? (An armboard to install the RB250 would have to be purchased separately). I'm not that familiar...

I've been wanting to add a 70's Sony receiver to my collection, so had been eyeing the STR-7065/55/45 series for awhile (beautiful in the wood case), then gravitated to the STR-6065/55 series (for the build quality), when I finally came across this even earlier STR-6120 (from '69, I think)...

There she was, silver face glistening in the ad, calling to me. She was simple, yet elegant looking. No big knobs, but I heard she was a real performer. I was helpless to resist. I could have her for $5. I said I would pick her up her tomorrow ... yes, tomorrow she WILL be mine! Woo hoo...

NOAF. If you're looking for quantity over quality, have a gander at these homemade beasts on the Phoenix CL http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/ele/5385150719.html I'd buy 'em if they had, like, 7 or 9 woofers thrown in for good measure.. :no: “Never question another man's motive. His...

I'm a toob noob, so looking for some advice on a potential 1st tube project. I have an opportunity to buy a couple of 100W Bogen Challenger PA amp chassis (no tubes) for $25 ea to use as a base for building a couple of monoblocks. I've seen some positive comments from others that have done...

No affiliation. Available here in Phoenix, two Bogen tube amps (chassis only, no tubes) http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/ele/5359810502.html For $80, I was really tempted to pick these up for a future project, but decided against it because: A: Way more power than I need. B. Too much $...

So, I've decided to limit myself to 5 vintage receivers/amps (OK, maybe 6). I know, I know, it's blasphemy!. :) I plan on keeping two of the Pioneer receivers that I currently have (SX-1250, SX-780, SX-9000) and the one Sony STR-4800 that I have (or get a STR-7045/7065, if I can't get the 4800...
