| tape in deck when off???? I believe that you can leave oxide deposits on your tape passage components (pinch rollers, capstan, and, if engaged, the tape heads as well); also, if there is tension on the tape segment, some stretching of this segment of tape may occur, especi... | |
| Decent Bookshelf Speakers ? I really like the Triangle Titus's, either the older version or the newer ES series. Around $400 in excellant but used condition. Great value for the Money. Happy hunting! | |
| Oracle psu -help?? I'm not exactly sure, but I think you can get a convertor from Radio Shack that transforms 110v to 30VDC for about $30. Speed adjustment control on the turntable motor and a strobe/disc would take care of the rest of the problem, short of ordering... | |
| Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout I own an Oracle Delphi I and have upgraded it through the years. It is a fine sounding table, BUT, all in all, it's finicky in that I am frequently resetting the spring hieghts which I understand from others may be a common issue. Give the Scout a... | |
| Problems with SME 10 Turntable Just a thought. . .What tracking force are you using, and, have you measured it since moving the table? | |
| What type of preamp Check out the Audio Experience Symphonies Plus Line Stage from Ys Audio. High quality parts and a nice sounding unit to boot. I've been very happy with mine. | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. I second sdcampbell's recomendation for the Vandy system. You'll be hard pressed to do better. The Martin-Logans are beautiful to look at and sound good too, but for home theater useage, if you play loud, you might not get the dynamic range the Va... | |

| Small size monitor suggestions Triangle Titus's. | |
| Looking for Cello and Guitar I am not sure, but try Arturo Delmoni, music for Cello and Guitar, or, is Violins and Guitar? Like I said, I'm not sure. Good luck in your hunt anyway. | |
| best harman kardon speakers &monitors I own the Harmon Kardon Sixty's, no longer in production. At the time I purchased them I had felt them to be superior to Vandersteen 3's. They seem to be tube friendly and have functioned flawlessly in my system since around 1992 when I purchased ... | |
| tubes for Sophia Baby amp Try Andy Bowman @ Vintage Tube Services (616)-454-3467. He is honest, reputable, and knowledgable. He might know. Good Luck! | |
| Newbie received Dual 1249 gift, need advice... 1.5 grams of stylus force may be a bit lite. Try experimenting starting at 1.5 grams and ranging to 2.0 grams. A force gauge such as the Shure reccomended above makes this alot easier and more accurate as well. | |
| Problem with American Beauty DVD-A I have that disc and it plays OK in my Toshiba SD 9200. | |
| "Perfect Match" McIntosh Tubes - Speaker ? Check out the entire line of TRIANGLE's. I am very happy with an old set of Titus's on stands, but the Celius floor standers,both old and new should be most excellant. |
