Hi

I was a bit taken back when I saw the sticker price of $1700 Canadian. The forums etc often show a "paid price" of $900 USD (or about $1050 Canadian). What gives? I could understand a slight markup due to volume etc, but 60%?

Can anyone provide Canadian street pricing for the B&W 603?

Thanks

John

Stereophile often carries monthly issues focused on a 'Theme " or equipment categories...... An issue reviewing Amplifiers, or another that reviews 3 loudspeakers....

Since I have a greater interest in Electronics - from a technical standpoint - some magazine issues that do not have any reviews on amplifiers, leave me less than satisfied.

I wonder if other readers too have a similar 'bias' ?

My request is that Stereophile instead shift to 'balanced' issues, with each issue carrying reviews of equipment in each category eg : Amplifiers, Speakers, etc...

Hey! I own a Cambridge Audio A300. [great budget amp, BTW!] From day one this amp has made this strange oscillation noise when I power it down. I always have to make sure that the volume control is all the way down and that my sub is turned off before powering down the amp. If the volume is all the way down I don't get the noise.
Is this a problem with my unit or is this a design flaw? Otherwise the amp sounds terrific. No complaints there.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi. I'm new to the forum. I wonder if anyone could help me out with the problems with my belt-driven Thorens TD160 turntable. When it's powered on, motor runs fine, platter spins seemingly good. However, there's hum from speakers and when I brush the needle of the cartridge, no signal is heard (the cartridge works fine with another turntable). With ohm-meter, checked RCA audio cables, checked tonearm cables, they all work and don't seem to have been grounded.
What possibly is the problem?
