bookshelf speakers
I went to a guys house who had Joseph Audio RM7 XL's actually in a bookshelf. Surrounded by...books. He was driving them with Simaudio gear and they sounded great to me. I'm not the most critical listener but I thought they sounded great. 
Teac PD H750
Thanks for your responses. I am now considering an Oppo 103 as well...just not sure since it will be strictly 2 channel. 
Volume?
The albums aren't that big of a difference. Truthfully, I noticed my Elton John albums seemed lower than the others, but it seems the same way on my cd's with his stuff. The 12:00 position is good with me, I just was curious because it seems like ... 
CJ Sonographe
Thanks for the replies. I contacted SOTA and the have a motor for the SG3. It's $125 but since the TT is free it's not too bad of an overall price! 
Dual cs 522
I thought the price seemed a bit high for it...I researched it rather thoroughly. I appreciate the input...Thanks. 
Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??
Thats funny...I have noticed that as well. I wish I had the income to allow me to buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear to never listen too it. I personally use my stuff, I take care of it, but I USE my stuff no matter what it is. I'll pr... 
Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?
I will never buy with someone with 0 feedback again,thats a fact. I attempted to buy a pair of Totem Sttafs. The seller told me they were 6 months old, so I asked him to send me a pic of the serial numbers, which he gladly did. I paid him in full,... 
Cat-proofing your speakers...
Try some stuff called Feliway. I had a cat pizzing on my leather couch. Sprayed this stuff....she hasn't been up there since. Spray it around your speaks..not on them. 
Best vintage Marantz receivers?
Nice to hear good things about the old Marantz receivers. I have a 2226 that my dad bought when I was a kid. It became mine around '85. Then I went into the Army in '87. It sat in a box in an unheated/uncooled garage until 2 years ago or so. My mo... 
High-end amplifier clarification?
Anything more than my wifes engagment ring. 
How can anyone afford this ?
I like what Mceljo said. My wife and I do okay, one car note, house note, thats it. Everything else is paid for. We take vacations we have saved the money, however I see friends who make less, take elaborate vacations, have the best of everything ... 
Do you remember your first cd?
When I got back from the Army in '87, I bought Pink Floyds The wall, The Black Crowes, and Rush's first one. Still have them today, although I don't listen to them much. I also have the very first lp I ever bought. All the Worlds a stage by Rush. ... 
Lamp replacement for Marantz 2265b
I bought the fuse lamps for a 2226 off e-b for 8 bucks. I have never ever seen the inside of a receiver, but I am mechanically inclined and I changed mine in about 5 minutes. 
Would you pay to listen?
I'd test drive a Ferrari for $20 if I could, so I'd say yes. 
Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard
I have the Studio 40v4. I listened to them at a dealer and loved them. I got them home, ran them for a while with my Carver TFM 25 and it was painful. Went back to the dealer and saw they were driving them with Marantz and B&K. Ended up gettin...
