How long are you going to keep this up, you little, pathetic baby. I can sit here and insult you forever, Matter o'fact, I find you quite easy to insult.

Get over it, Alex.

Hi

Just a thought to throw around.

My initial thought would be piano

Any others ?

It has finally got the better of me.

Ever since my first high-end system bought 15 years ago, I got it home and the left channel was louder than the right. I traced it to the amplifier, took it back to the dealer and funnily enough it was perfect at his place. He was good enough to exchange it for a new one anyway, but when I got it home, exactly the same thing!

Check out teh list of companies that do stuff in audio...quite the list http://www.aes.org/events/125/exhibitors/exhibitors.cfm

Hello everyone. As I have indicated on my previous turntable discussions I am returning to the audio world and trying to piece together a nice system that will deliver a soundstage my maggies will gladly reproduce. I know I am preaching to the choir, however, I am going to need some power to deliver to the maggies.

What is the best stand alone option for converting LPs to digital format nowadays? I can't bring my turntable and records to the office, so I'm stuck with the iPod.

I'd like to just be able to record straight to a hard drive and then mess with everything later. I don't have a desktop computer (and don't want one) so any soundcard I have is going to sub-par - so I'd rather not have to use it at all.

I listen to a lot of music and solidly believe that a lot of very expensive audio gear really does produce audibly superior sound. I have never had the pleasure of listening to a real high end system, the $50K or more amplifier, the $40K speakers, $30K CD player or turntable, $5K speaker wires or interconnects, exotic tweaks, and wierd esoteric odds and ends, but I have heared $10K systems put together well and can say with some conviction that they sound vastly better than the Best Buy audio system or, God help us, some Ipod MP3 system.

Hi...Obviously I'm brand new at this so...I have a big learning curve... Eventually I'd love to have the perfect home theater system...but until that happens I will have to make do.

I need some help with connections or if not real connection then possible work-arounds.

I got on a FreeCycle board in MN, a very nice Fisher stereo component system.

I have the following:
CA-871 Stereo Amplifier
CR-W870 Double Cassette Player
FM-871 AM/FM Stereo Synthesizer Tuner
EQ-867 Graphic Equalizer
AD-870 or AD-875A Digital Compact Disc Player
