I recently inherited a an old Eico HF20 from my dad, found another one relativley cheap, and had them both refurbished by a knowledgeable technician. I have them running through a pair of new Klipsch RB-81s and really like the sound but I still have some questions about them. I know that it is unusual, if not frowned upon, to attempt to run two mono integrated amps simultaneously for stereo listening, but I have found that the two amps do not sound 'identical'.

Six short minutes offers a glimpse into the new release.

Hi everyone. This is the first of what I hope to be many posts on this board. I'm relatively new to the Stereophile world and recently got a job at Audio Visions South, a consumer electronics sales and integration company in Tampa, FL. I'm hoping to use this board to expand my knowledge concerning the world of high fidelity audio and possibly meet some people that share my interest and excitement regarding high-end audio gear.

Howdy, I'm trying to get some speakers I've recently come to own. I tried out two different amps with the speakers.This is what I've working with,

2 Speakers: Carver - Amazing Loudspeaker Platinum IV

Amps: Kenwood - KA-4002 Solid State Amplifier
Lafayette Stereo 10B Solid State Amplifier

I hooked my video game audio RCA cables to the amplifiers. Both popped when I turn the audio source on, but neither produce any sound except a small buzz. I also tested this with headphones to the exact same result.

Since working, it's been difficult finding the time to visit different record stores. I usually know what I want to get and head over to Bleecker or Other Music or something during lunch or after work. But are there record stores close to Wall Street? Would love to save some more time.

Im fairly certain I have power line noise coming through my speakers. At random, I get "pops" that seem to happen when the refrigerator turns off. I also get "static" which during one episode the only clue I could find was the dryer running downstairs. The pops and static only last about 2-3 seconds at a time and happen randomly throughout the day and night.

Does such a player exist? Looking for a new portable. I have most of my files on Apple Lossless, but I do have a ton of older mp3 files in WMA from my dark years () that I want to listen to during my commute.

We have acquired a quality receiver and speakers (Yamaha RXV3800 and DefTech speakers). My Yamaha is capable of playing MP3s from a flash drive (really cool not to have to burn!),however the ends of songs are sometimes cut off, and the shuffling is sometimes erratic. I would love to have more control over the playlist.
1. Would an IPOD type device attached to my receiver (it can do that) utilize the full capabilities of my receiver and speakers, or the IPOD's lesser quality?
