Hello,
What would be a good, reasonably priced way to power 6 speakers in mono from the rca output of a television?

Thanks,
Bob

I Recently ran across a single horizontal arrayed speaker in excellent condition. It appears to be a rather quality piece of work by its looks, and surprisingly it sound exceedingly good, which was a surprise.
The only markings on the box are a round paper label with L.E.E. Incorporated, Washington D.C.. And, impressed on the back into the wood is: 115L123X=35 No other markings except for a stylized logo on the front of LEE.

I gotta say, Nottingham 294 was one of the most musical tables I'd heard when I was auditioning (and I've had the opportunity to listen to a lot of TTs... and many of 'em exponentially more expensive than the Notty) Learned from pinkfishmedia that Tom Fletcher, the designer & basically the engine of NAS, is no longer with Nottingham, but will make TTs on his own. VERY interesting.

So my parents gave me ~60-80 of their old records, that were unfortunately stored in the attic

Most of them are pretty badly warped. I know furutech makes an lp flattener, but at $1900, I can't afford it.

So does anyone know of a company I can send these of to to be flattened etc.

Thanks, Chris

Hi everyone.

I want to add a bit of "warm tubish" sound to my system, but I don't feel like replacing my current integrated amp at the moment. Would it be a good idea to add a tube preamp before my integrated amp? I am thinking of getting something used in the 500-1000$ range.

Here is my current setup (mainly for music):

Speakers: Paradigm Studio 20s v3
Amp: Rega Brio
Sources: Sony SCD-CE595 (SACD-CD), and PC with semi-pro sound card.

Thank you

I thought of the Onkyo A-9555 (about $490) and Epos ELS3 speakers ($400).

Any other ideas? He is going to use this for movies and some music from a cd player and ipod. He was going to get a Sony 5.1 box system from Circuit City for about $300 and after listening to my system and seeing his options he changed his mind...

First, I have to praise Art D on his very well written and informative piece on playing 78's and the gear used. That said, a 78rpm record and the gear to play it is a niche in a niche. If I am doing the math right, all the odds and ends he mentioned to give the playback justice runs to at least $10,000. TEN GRAND!

Even to the very well healed that is a lot of change. Especially when one considers one is not doing vinyl, or digital, or even server based digital but simply a small piece of one source.
