Classe Cap-151, Drug on the market?
I sold mine last year because I was downsizing my system due to a move that would result in a much smaller listening room. I was very sad to let it go and I'd buy another in a heartbeat if my situation allowed for it.It gets fairly good reviews an... 
Where can I find info on Spendor S6 speakers"
Take a look at Jeff's Sound Values:www.jeffssoundvalues.comI'm pretty sure that he's carried the line for a while. I've bought a couple of things from him in the past and have been very happy. He's got a demo pair of 6e's in stock right now accord... 
MFSL rare disc- what should i ask for it?
A quick glance on half.com shows a few for sale there. Prices range from $27.50 (used, good condition) to around $60 (like new). 
Inexpensive wine pairings?
Lately I've been enjoying a variety of wines from Rex Goliath. The Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvingion are terrific and the price is right. I'd go with the Pinot Noir and you should have no trouble finding it for under $10/bottle. I can't b... 
Electrocompaniet ECI-3 or Classe CAP-151
I agree with Gaudio. I owned the CAP-151 and loved it. I always had my eye on the ECI-3/4, though. That is one fine piece of equipment, in my opinion. Enjoy it. 
TV Picture diffenences between HD and non HD
Bluecirclehead,I have 2 different component video cable - an Acoustic Research that I bought fairly inexpensively at a big box store and the cable that Time Warner included with the HD cable box. Both work fine for me, which is good because I'm no... 
TV Picture diffenences between HD and non HD
Well, it all depends on your source, but I'll tell you what I have. I recently purchased a Sony 34" widescreen HDTV. My primary sources are my Progressive Scan DVD player and my Time Warner Cable 8000HD cable box. When I am viewing an HD channel f... 
After all this: CRT HD Television it 'tis....
I came to the same conclusion as you did. Mostly from a price standpoint, though. I purchased a 34" Sony widescreen, the KV-34HS510. It's a big heavy beast and it is beautiful. I was very tempted by the 30" Samsung so I'd encourage you to look the... 
Shipping Maggies
Hello again. As promised here is an update regarding my recent shipment of a pair of 1.6's.I used FedEx Ground which was a very economical choice. It cost me $50 to ship them insured from Maine to Indiana. I had the original boxes and I think I di... 
Shipping Maggies
I just shipped a pair of 1.6's yesterday via FedEx Ground. I'll check back on this thread next week after I hear back from the buyer.I did have the original box, which makes a big difference in my opinion. However, It was still a challenge to put ... 
compact bookshelf speaker for my system
I recently listened to the Paradigm Mini Monitor, Monitor 3 and Studio 20's and was very impresed by them. Especially the Mini Monitor for the price. The B&W DM600 series is well regarded and has a number of speakers of various sizes and price...

What is the SACD Mod business all about?
While I haven't had any modifications done to my SACD player, I can understand why someone else might want to. Almost all consumer electronics come to market with a varying number of compromises which allow them to be sold at the prices we see. Th... 
marsh a400s amp
I only see a few of them listed on Audiogon by private sellers. Those few have been listed for less than 3 weeks.As you mentioned, they were positively reviewed by TAS along with an Odyssey amp and another, I believe it was Bryston. This certainly... 
Has anyone opinions on the Classe CAP 151
I've had mine for a few years now and I like it a lot. Plenty of power for my Magnepan 1.6's. It's a simple system, not too much to comment on, it just works.Feel free to ask more questions.
