    Best Vintage Speaker Kickoff!

    Own B&W's 602 S2, 600 S3, LCR6, 605 S2-love em all but blew plate amp in one of my 605's by accidentally bumping into turntable as needle dropped and set up a feedback loop--sometimes I'm such a klutz. B& w parts can be hard to find and expensive.

    Technics SL-1800 ?

    I'm also thinking of buying a Technics to replace my audio-technica a-t-pl120 which is a copy of 1200. I put a pretty good cart on it as I'm told that will make the biggest difference. I would like something like the 1600 and was wondering if I would notice the difference with my nagoaka mm mp...

    Best Vintage Speaker Kickoff!

    First time I ever heard hi-fi was before stereo--early 50's my older brother became really interested and got an invite to hear this early audiophile system. I don't remember all the components but do remember Fisher tube amps and I believe a huge either Altec-Lansing or Klipshorn...

    CLEANING VINYL - The AK compendium of fact, fiction and collective wisdom

    For cleaning stylus drop it on a thin slice of Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser that can be bought at any supermarket for 2-3 bucks. I drop needle once after playing each LP--ner gets stylus wet so don't have to worry about glue holding stylus on being loosened. people who have used this technique have...

    avr vs dedicated amps

    Don't forget when starships crash as in Planet of The Apes but the deal is I like good drama now that decrepitude has set in and a good stereo setup will do just fine for dialogue.

    avr vs dedicated amps

    Oh, incidentally for whom it may concern I have instruction manuals for both these units and I will be running small subwoofer with this setup. Maybe at later date I will replace it also but I'm not a big basshead--hearing bass is OK, I don't need to feel it.

    avr vs dedicated amps

    Yeah, I get that in the same price range a two channel amp is better as an amp--but what I'm wondering say in the 200-500 dollar range is it going to be enough better to be really noticeable. I remember the "old" days I had an ERA turntable with Grace 707 tonearm Grado cart speakers with KEF...

    Subwoofer chuffing

    Hav'nt made a big study on subs and frequency response just usually adjust till it sounds good to my ears--just know that to keep them from chuffing on really low passages I don't get much improvement over my B&W 602 S2's which go down to about 52 Hz. Just know that chuffing sound is very annoying.

    Subwoofer chuffing

    I have been using a small Pioneer Andrew Jones eight inch subwoofer and have noticed chuffing whenever I turn it up even a little way. So I stuffed the port with a sock and it eliminates the chuffing. My question is:Does this interfere with amplifier ventilation as I can't see any other way for...

    Don't know if they are considered vintage or not--but I believe late 90's design--I'm runn ing B&W 605 S2 floor standers an LCR6 center channel and 602 S2's--I bought these at a local audio shop in 2002(not too many brick and mortars left around). I swooned and had a bad case of the vapors when...

    Yamaha or Onkyo Amp?

    I am thinking about buying yamaha R-S500 as it costs the same as A-S301 and has better specs75wpc @8 ohms 20-20khertz as compared to 60wpc for A-S301. Their power ratings are measured the same. They are practically identical in weight--actually the R-S 500 and A-S 500 are nearly identical in...
