I've rotated in any number of other speakers, Mark, but still love the Cornwalls... the Crites tweeters worked well as an upgrade and I have ALK Universal XOs on the way, hopefully another step...

Moving right along.... Paradigms were pretty 'meh', especially in light of the Van Ls I picked up. Now running a pair of Quicksilver Silver 90s through a passive pre into the Van Ls and Cornies and...

LOL... it's been a long trip since December for sure. I never did pick up a Marantz but my entire stereo has been revamped, I've spent way more than expected and have quite a few more components...

Indeed a fine player... and I was just listening to Bridge of Sighs last night!

Alright! Scoring a 37 makes me feel slightly better about turning 40!

There was some info on their site, but nothing for older models... nothing before the name was acquired by new interests. The seller claims "new drivers, crossovers and damping".

I'll likely pass...

Does anyone here have experience with Fried speakers? There's a pair of Monitor 7s locally that has piqued my curiosity, but there is very little info, that I've found, about them.

Thanks, gentlemen. I've definitely been scanning the local CL and added Audiogon to list. Definitely some great deals out there on Audiogon, but shipping begins to be quite an issue.

There are a...

Hiya Dave,

Oh yes, I'm all about older/used gear. I'd say I'd top out at around $1000 for a pair, especially if they can hold down their end of the rig while the rest slowly gets upgraded....

Little update... vastly happier using the NAD 304 as preamp, but powering up with the GFA-5300, I believe the phono pre amp to be miles ahead of the outboard one I have.

Now the big question...

This is so true... and I find more and more in an area with a dirth of live music, I increasing want my home stereo to be an oasis of great sounding music!

Hiya Jack,

I'm located in the far SW corner of PA, an hour-ish south of Pittsburgh in the furthest reaches of nowhere, lol.

Great deal

Wow! Talk about some incredible rigs, I can only imagine the sound.

Maybe a 'relic' job?

Thanks for the great website!

I'd PM you but can't until I get a few more posts under my belt!

I'm about half way to grabbing the Marantz PM7200 at $280 shipped, good deal, decent system? I'm not opposed to trying things out,...

Thanks gentlemen, a pleasure to meet you.

As I'm well aware, without some poor decisions and missteps I'd have learned a lot less in this life!

Hello All,

Been lurking around a bit, soaking it all in and finally joined a few days ago. Looking to start working my way a bit closer to listening Nirvana at home, something I've put off...

I'm by no means an expert on TTs, the table came prefitted with its cartridge and checked by the kind folks at Needle Doctor. The pre-amp may be a weak link, but matches the moving magnet cartridge....

First off, thank you all for the welcome!

I picked up a Music Hall 2.2 that came with a MH Tracker Cart. I gave a lot of thought between it and a Denon 300 with an Ortofon Blue, but was swayed...

Long time lurker, first time poster...

Bought a nice turntable to utilize a giant stack of albums I inherited. Sounds terrible through my Adcom set-up/phono pre-amp and am looking at some...
