    Latest Acquisition: Marantz 2245

    Thank you so much for the advice on dropping the Marantz into the cabinet. Are my Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater and Rectilinear speakers low impedance?

    Latest Acquisition: Marantz 2245

    I picked up a Marantz 2245, a Dual 1218 and a set of gigantic rectilinear speakers yesterday at an estate sale. It even came with the giant plastic bag of every manual, receipt and what have you that came with each thing purchased by the one owner. One odd thing. The walnut cabinet for the...

    Need a good audio repair shop in SE Michigan

    I know this is quite the ressurrection here, but does this place still operate? Do you know people who sell completely refurbished good old turntables with thick heavy woodbases? I am currently in Grand Blanc MI

    Thinking about buying Sony

    Sony DOES have that sound, the vintage sound. But every piece I own is vintage and every one of them sounds completely different with every speaker too. Sony was no baloney. Was. I really loved the 30 year old stuff they made. Personally, I WAS a '80's Luxman fan, the BIG GUY, but impedance...

    altec model 19's in denver ,do i buy them?

    There is a perfect pair in Boston too. The really big ones for $1595,so I'd hit the road to Denver NOW! Go,run,fly,get them...they NEED homes,real homes with people who play them. I WISH I was there,take highway 80(Ithink it's 80),no traffic at all until Cheyenne and,well you know the rest...

    Speakers: What do you own?

    You know what?? My real speakers are Green Altec 604c's in DIY walnut cabs powered by an old Pioneer SX-650....ahhhhhh,beautiful perfection. But I somehow picked up a free trade of some big Realistics(I should look and see what they are,they're tall and big) but those babies DO sound good...

    altec model 19's in denver ,do i buy them?

    I'd give ANYTHING to be back in Wyoming right now....go,go...Denver's just a quickie and you'll be back with the big guns before you know it. I can "see" the way there if I close my eyes.... Even if I click my ruby reds and say"thre's no place like home"...I'll not be back in the valley of...

    Rodent Control

    DesLab, so sorry,my comment was more in jest than meant as the rule. They ARE gorgeous. And they do spread out laying down. I only wish the one here was so pretty. We USED to have pretty cats. Miss Kitty is common,calico and a screamer. And I love cats,but this one....I like her. And I'm...

    Rodent Control

    Not to be mean at all,I happen to love cats,but the Bean and Turbo look like they were built for lounging. Not speed. But live mice have been known to get them moving.

    My eyes search the sky,desperately for rain, cuz,raindrops will hide the teardrops and no one will ever know,that I'm cryin...so I can go outside. And I know to you. This might sound strange. But I wish it would rain. "People need to know these are not just words on the paper, Roger...

    Songs That Make You Cry

    Conway and Loretta did one that did it too....'You Know Just What I'd Do' and as corny as it may sound,when Mariah Carey sings "Anytime You Need a Friend" and that giant chorus of black ladies open up and belt it out...wowza!

    Songs That Make You Cry

    Somewhere Over the Rainbow ~ I can barely type it even. Guess who wants to go home? Emotion in Motion can too. But only because of a moment in time. As the words are incredible about true love as only Stevie Wonder could ever make it into fantastically fantasied.

    Okay, what are the true HI-FI speakers

    yes,thank you. I wrote way too much to say I don't want ANY distortion. Especially in the bass. I want to hear that finger thunk the string if I can. I want those horns so crisp I can "see" them dancing or raising them heavenward for that sharp little note. And not in my face,but where they are...
