Follow up questions regarding my NAD C375BEE
It would seem to me that you have two issues here; perhaps they are related, but it is also quite possible that they are not related. The first thing I would do is isolate the two conditions (protection circuit and hum) by completely removing the ... 
Good inexpensive temporary speakers
Zeljoh, How long did you own the Signatures and the Statements? Did you experience any issues with the veneer separating from the cabinet? The reason I ask is because I've looked at the LSA speakers before, and in all three cases where I found the... 
$1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile
Patrickrealtor76; I'm actually doing this right now for an office system. When I'm finished, I'll have about $1500 in it. Earlier this spring I couldn't pass on a super clean pair of Boston Acoustics A200s for $300 so those are my speakers. Howeve... 
$1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile
Yes, I agree with Lou_setriodes. I can go out on CL any given week and find some great speakers at very low prices. Also, some of the older speakers still have some great value and sound quality. To me, the electronics are harder to find so I woul... 
Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection
Lowrider57, first the disclaimer...I'm no expert with respect to the legal system. Now for my opinion... I don't think that the law has any additional or specific provision with respect to businesses that sell used material. I think the intent and... 
Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection
onhwy61, yes it is disappointing, isn't it? 
Best DAC/preamp for under $2K?
Here is an alternative that I'm considering.As I've read various forum threads over the years, I've learned to appreciate the comments made by a few who seem to know their stuff. And I've also noticed that there are a few topics that these folks a... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
One more thought...perhaps it is the public online forums (such as AudioGon) that actually doomed the brick and mortar stores, and not the online resellers.Back in the day, I went to my local audio store to learn about high end equipment so that I... 
what amp under a grand?
First, let me say that I have no experience with any of the equipment you have inquired about. However, I do have an opinion, and don't we all!Based on what I've read over the years, it is common for audiophiles to refer to the silk tweeters as so... 
Bookshelf speakers $500 -$700
I recently picked up a pair of PSB Imagine Bs that I'm pleased with. They are rear ported and will do best when placed on a solid stand. I have them paired with a SVS sub and cross them over at about 60.When deciding on bookshelves, placement prox... 
Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker
I agree that switches shouldn't cause an overloading problem when only one set of speakers are being used. However, some switches allow you to send the signal to both sets of speakers at the same time. 
Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker
Bmdduck, if you aren't going to use the speakers simultaneously, then the NAD C375BEEE is hard to top for the money. Lots of power for the Ninkas and lots of bang for your buck. Yogiboy, I've looked at a few outboard switches in the past. The best... 
Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker
You will need to pay special attention to the amp's user manual because the 4 ohm load created by the Ninkas could present a problem if you intend to drive both sets of speakers simultaneously.I have a NAD C375BEE which is a very capable integrate... 
Are all craiglist used ads scam?
I have no experience regarding CL ads in Europe; however, I've had great success with purchasing audio equipment on CL in the midwest of the USA. I don't think I've sold anything on CL so I can't comment on the selling experience.I understand that... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
IMO Mapman and Bcgator have unveiled the issue central to this B&M discussion. I believe that genuine and real customer service is a lost art. Typically what we experience today is only lip service. This lip service is ultimately just another ...
