    Help using thick speaker wire on 2275

    Hi guys. This is my first post in this forum I think. A few weeks ago, or so, I finally joined the Marantz Owners Club. I got a Marantz receiver of my own, a 2275 to be exact. I've always wanted one since I was a kid, because my older brother had one. Even though I never would have admitted it...

    Crutchfield Speaker Compare

    Well it looks like all those YouTube videos of speakers have finally convinced a company to use them as a marketing technique. They will even send you a listening kit (Sennheiser HD 280 Pro/Dragonfly Black) to use for a month. It's a $25 rental, but includes a $25 merchandise certificate. So...

    One of the best Lemon Flavored Cookies I've ever had!

    Just had to share this, in case there's any other lemon cookie fans on here, or just for the sweet tooth's in general. Annie's Homegrown Organic Lemon Drop Cookie Bites. These things are really good. Almost like a shortbread type cookie, similar to a Pecan Sandie type of cookie (in consistency)...

    Taylor Player undersells, and over-delivers!

    Daren sold me a bunch of records. I originally bought 3 Ringo LP's from him, and was floored at the condition of them. Pulled out the first one, and couldn't find a mark on it AT ALL! He could have basically graded it as high as you can grade a record, but didn't. He also could have asked more...

    vintage 5.0 is da man!

    This feedback is for Ken (AKA vintage 5.0). We traded different brand DACs (my black Grant Fidelity Tube DAC 11 for his silver Parasound Zdac) so we could each get the color we wanted to match our systems. Both DACs were basically the same original price, and had very similar features. So it was...

    Really cool tube amp/preamp/headphone amp

    Massdrop has the Cayin HA-1A available right now. I think it's a good deal money wise. But I really just think this is a very cool piece. I love that it's so versatile. And it's a cool shape. Would be great for a desktop setup. Or as a preamp next to a similar shaped amp. I'm thinking that it...

    RCA Cables for my system. Billy Jean, or Monoprice?

    So I've finally finished putting all the pieces together in my solid state system I use for rock and roll today. It should all be in my possession in two, or three days. And I want to get new cables. I don't own any quality cables. I'm not looking for overpriced audiophile stuff. Just low...

    Will a Dynaco Pas 2 work with AVA Omega Star 250EX?

    Hi all. The AVA amp is a 25,000 ohm impedence. Not sure on the Pas, but I've read it's designed for the ST-70. And I read that has a 100,000 ohm impedence. I emailed Frank Van Alstine, and he says I'll lose gain. Is this a big deal? I don't want any less power, or volume going to my Cerwin...

    Where to report problems with forum?

    I've been recently having problems with typing on this forum. And only this forum. For instance I hit the space bar and the first letter of the word I just typed gets inserted instead of the space. And when I hit the word that my typing app (SwiftKey) suggests as I'm typing. It instead gives me...

    Having trouble with WiFi signals? Not tech savvy? I found a solution, for me anyway

    So I had my old router/modem combo that barely got to my audio/video room. I tried an extender. It made it just bearable. Then the combo unit crapped out. So in a pinch I just went to Cox, and rented one, until I could do some research. It's the new "Panoramic" WiFi. In a word. It "SUCKS". In a...

    Opinions on Scott 200 amplifier

    Hi guys. What do you all think about this integrated amp? I have a really nice SET/SEP (switchable) hand made amp that is amazing, but I want to try a PP, and factory one. I also could use a little more SPL, and hopefully stronger bass. So I thought I might try one of these, since they're...

    Pilot R300 Solid State Stereophonic Receiver

    Anybody know anything about this unit? Is it any good? I've heard Pilot tube is good. But what about their solid state stuff? Any idea on how many watts? I'm assuming it's not very much. What about any info at all. I couldn't find a thing about it. Other then one being sold, and that looked...

    ADS L780 sound profile

    How would you describe these? I have a line on some. And even though I said I wasn't buying any more speakers for a while. I heard the L980's at FrankenFest and was very impressed. How's the bass? Are they bright, warm, neutral? Fatiguing at all? Vocals? Okay in a smaller room (14x15...

    Back to vinyl after 20+yrs. Pioneer PL-255

    Hi all. I decided to get back into vinyl. I found a PL-255 on Craigslist in mint shape w/ factory box, and manual for $80. Talked the guy down because the arm wouldn't auto play. Turns out it was just adjusted wrong. Read your manuals folks. :) It has a Stanton 500 v3 on it. I am not sure this...
