I just got an Integra DTR 5.5 receiver the other day that I got from ebay. so far so good, sound is very good, definatly better than my 20 year old nad 7130.

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?
