Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes. I've had my eye on a few mark 1 technics SL turntables, to replace an old sony one I have now. Could anyone shed some light on the differences between the models? Some seem to have more features like the SL 1600 is automatic I think, but the SL 1200 and 1800 look the same. Im assuming the SL 1800 was a cheaper version at time. What is the real difference if any? I'm looking at a SL 1800 at the moment.

Thanks alot if anyone can help here.

An article in the NY Times today about Prince thought it would be a nice addition to the debate..

Has anyone compared the top end CD/SACD/DVD-A playback of these devices carefully?

What do people consider the sound quality differences between these different components?

Has anyone compared the Meridian 861 DAC sound quality with the Meridian 808i? Are they equivalent?

I know some devices don't have SACD playback and others do, but don't have DVD-A playback, but how do they compare in areas where they do play back the same formats, especially CD playback?

Thanks,

Jeff

Does anyone know where I could find a Schematic for a Insignia HC040917. I have looked all over the internet and when I contacted Insignia they seemed to have no interest in helping me (why wasn't I suprised?) I have an intermittent problem that is next to impossible to repair without a schematic. Please help, this is my last resort.

Okay, first, my old stuff...

Denon AVR-800 integrated amp/reciever...

Fisher DS 177 3 ways, not sure on the wattage, maybe rated for 75 back in the day. I imagine they can take a bit more than that as speakers/amplifiers are rated for solid state now...

Anyone have any opinions of this product? http://www.psaudio.com/products/gcc_control_amplifiers.asp

I'm looking for an integrated amp to start a system and was about to buy a NAD M3 until I stumbled upon this.
