Hey, I am wondering if someone can tell me the best route to take? I currently have a Yamaha HTR-5930 reciever that has an A or B speaker selector but not A + B. This is setup in my living room for use with my home theater.

Would anyone be able to make suggestions as to what would be the best I could buy for this amount of money?

A few things:

-I have 5000 plus records of all different styles but currently only use a Technics SL1200.

-I would like the convenience of a turntable that will easily change between 33 and 45 (none of that dismantling the deck and shifting the belt around...)

Your input greatly appreciated...

I have limited TT experience and have just added the VPI Scout TT to my system. It seems as though the sound is very much on the high side, almost 'tingy' (I don't no any other way to describe it but I am getting little or no bass). I am using a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge. I also do not get any noise from my speakers until the gain on my pre-amp is turned over 1/2 way up. Is this normal?

Opinions desperately needed on amplification for B&W 801Ds. I have a pair being shipped to me. I have a choice of Classe CA-M400 or McIntosh MC1201 monoblocks for almost the same price. I have not heard either of these amps with the B&Ws and have no way to audition them, but have to decide by tomorrow which to order.

Please help! Anyone who has experience with either of these amps with the 800D, 801D or 802Ds -- your opinions would be greatly appreciated. I listen almost exclusively to classical. The source and preamp have not been decided on either.

Hello,
