    Hi I can't seem to find the correct info anywhere. I recently got an Onkyo p304 pre amp and hooked it up directly to main in on my Nikko 1415 receiver. But it seems I may have done some damage to the receiver or maybe not. I had an obscene amount of low end at first and now I have some...

    Scored a pair of Celestion DL6 at Goodwill for $20 cad in very nice condition. Not a big pair but sound is excellent for 2 way bookshelf def keepers imo add to the collection. Black in color not the walnut but very nice for the money.

    Realistic Mach1 speakers

    thanks for the feedback I do like the sound of my advent a3 much better at normal listening levels. They just lack the punch of a 15 inch driver. Tweaking the bass level has had great effect for me tho on the advents. But for the odd time to turn it up to 9 i would prefer to do it to the mach 1

    cart upgrade from Nagaoka mp 110

    So I have some homework then maybe a decent pre amp and mc cart is next on the list and of course spare headshell would seem the best way to go. MM carts don't seem to offer what I am looking for. Browsing some hi fi shops here may help. The vintage shops here are worth looking into for now...
