| Music Hall Maverick, Is it any good I have had a Maverick with level 1 mods from Parts Connexion that I bought used about a year ago. It was $1000 used, about half of the retail price. This unit has performed flawlessly. I have a home office, so I play the unit 30 hrs a week. I have... | |
| One particular tube upgrade elim my speaker hum I wouldn't consider spending $500 on tubes as a waste. The sound improvement can even be heard by my non audiophile wife, and on a $30,000 system, $500 is not that big a deal.The telefunkens were $80, and sound good. The Amperex EL34's really help... | |
| One particular tube upgrade elim my speaker hum Got the Amperex EL 34's for $199 for 4. Good deal. Actually, the RCA blackplates failed, they were $20 for 2, and I got a week of heavy use out of them. I did put in Telefunken 12ax7's, and they are excellent! | |

| Broken AudioQuest Caldera speaker cable ends... Hi. I think that damage done by your own pets is possibly not covered by your homeowners insurance. I had a friend whose dog got it's collar stuck on a faucet when the owners weren't home, opened the faucet,and flooded the basement. It was denied ... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman My experience with hi fi in NH was going into one of the few high end dealers (mostly home theater) and asking about tube amps. I was shown a Golden Tube tube SE 40 amp for about $1000, told all the Chinese stuff was junk, and told to buy this fro... | |

| Review: Bose 201 Series V Had a roomate at UMass Amherst in 1976 who got hold of the blueprints for the Bose design (from a friend who worked at Bose) and built a number of sets of Bose speakers, and the electronic crossover/equilizer. They chained them from the corners of... | |
| Speaker upgrade help needed: 4500$ used You should consider a used pair of Meadowlark Blue Heron II's. They can be had right now for $4500 used in Audiogon, and have $900 tweeters, let alone the rest of the Scanspeak midrange and dual woofers. That is why they were $12k new. The cost of... | |
| Question about quality of Meadowlark I am so satified with my BH2's, that I would buy more of them as an investment if I had the money. They are selling for $4500 used right now(if they sell), down from $7000 used that was being seen in Feb 2005 when Meadowlark went under. The driver... | |
| Differences in newer Meadowlark speakers I am seeing Blue Heron 2's on Audiogon for $4000 shipped, in 9 of 10 condition. What a deal! The drivers are worth that alone. And the cabinetry is like nothing else out there. These were $6k used plus shipping a few months ago. Interest has coole... | |
| Asymmetrical speaker wire arrangement issues? I've got the same situation, due to a fireplace being flanked on either side by my Meadowlark Blue Heron 2's . I am running Shanling SP80 monoblocks with anti-cable, 12 foot runs. The right speaker anti-cable is stretched out, the left speaker ant... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Nothing is as crappy now as it was back in the 70's when I was in collge. Tech Hi Fi in Amherst Ma talked me into buying a Dokoder MK 50 cassette recorder for about $150. That would be about $1000 now. Had a spinning light on top to tell you the m... |
