Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum.

I'm listening to Klipschorns and have been toying with the idea of changing speaker lines. Or maybe trying a Butler tube amp and Jolida Tube CD player so see if I can "soften" things up a bit with the somewhat bright Khorns.

But, changing over my whole speaker line, might be too costly and time consuming.

I'd like a speaker with great soundstage AND FULL imaging even at lower volumes.....I have Tinnitus in one ear ( constant ) but still would like to enjoy music, although I'm 75/25 HT and music.

Hi,

Anyone using ManualsCenter.com as a source of manuals?

I have used them in the past, and been quite happy with the service.

Unfortunately my last request (and payment) went unanswered.

More worrying, they won't respond to any communication.

Perhaps wise to consider other sources in preference.

I will update if they come good.

cheers,

Michael

I thought this months issue was one of the years best. Lots of affordable stuff and relevant side by side comparisons of two affordable speakers in the Atom and Alpha B1.

JA measures both in WP's room and Wes gives them a subjective comparison. Since these two speakers are probably going to compete directly with a large number of prospective purchasers, the review is particularly useful.

I want to back up (NOT get rid of) a lot of my vinyl records and cassettes. There's a $300 Teac CD recorder that will do that - hooks up to the stereo, has analog input. Wouldn't have to bother hauling my computer to the stereo or vice versa. Worthwhile? I would consider spending some more, if it gave notably better results. Looking forward to advice, thanks.

Next year will be my sophomore year at college. In preparation for that year, I'm purchasing some audio equipment, as I was sorely lacking what I wanted last year. I've picked out my receiver and my bookshelf speakers (the PSB Alpha B1 I saw promoted here all throughout past pages), and now I'm looking for a turntable.

I have about 200 dollars to spend, though I could go a little higher if I needed to, and I was wondering what the greater community would recommend I buy.

Is the price cap I set on it unreasonable?

What do I need to know about buying a turntable?
