    HI guys, Just picked up this PSX75. It is in amazing shape, from the original owner. While i was looking at it the auto function stopped working. The tonearm moves to almost center then returns.

    finally got my dream speakers. Hope it doesn't turn into a nightmare. They were posted online in a nearby small town. I couldn't believe it.

    HI guys. About to buy a Px-2 i have been wanting one of these for a while. However this particular PX-2 Has the auto return "disabled".

    Polk Monitor 10s and more power?

    Picked up some monitor 10s. I have read that they like power. I Usually like to listen at fairly low volume( about a quarter turn of the dial) on my Marantz 2235. Would I notice a change with more power? I was using it to drive my Mission 770s and the polks have way more detail but lack the...
