    Bargain turntable?

    This is a no brainer. Negitive feedback!

    I mean Come-on, this was not packaged for shipment. It may of been packaged for storage in his home, but absolutely not for shipment. [N]

    Does it work?

    Sorry this happened. It should not of happened at all. If you want to sell stuff on Ebay, you have to package it so it gets where it's going without damage. This is inadequate packaging, to say the least.

    Bubble wrap is 50 cents a foot and I have to pay for the box, the tape (it adds up) and of course the time it takes to deal with all of this. I started using a local packaging business (not a UPS store) to pack and ship my work. They understand how much the work means to me and to the people receiving it, and I appreciate that about them. It adds a little to the shipping cost but saves me a lot of time and stress and helps support a local growing business.

    It seems like a fair price. Supporting local business is a must in my neighborhood too. [;)] Kudos! [<:o)]

    LaScala positioning - Can I get better imaging by upgrading from LaScalas to Khorns?

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Hey Tswei,


    The good news is.... Khorns hold there value pretty good, so if you were to pick up a pair and ended up not liking the result, you could probably sell them for what you paid for them.

    But! I think it is worth a try. Khorns are not La Scalas and are made to go into corners, where La Scalas were not. They were/are the portabale version of the Khorn and are stand alone speakers. Not to say they would not benefit from corners, as you found out, it is not always the case.

    Your 18X30 room sounds Ideal for Khorns. I would think they would be worth a try.

    FS:Integra DPS-10.5 Universal Player---NEW LOW PRICE--SOLD

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Sold to a top shelf forum member.

    Thanks Dennie.

    Bill

    Thank you Bill. What a great transaction. 5 Star Transaction! Bill is a stand up guy. This Integra Universal player is everything he claimed it was (and more) and I am thrilled to be the new owner.

    Never hesitate to do business with "Willland", the shipping package could have been dropped from an airplane and would not have been damaged. There was enough packaging material and attention to detail, that I knew before I opened it, it was going to be fine.

    Heck, Bill even threw in the batteries for the Remote. First class all the way. bravo.gif

    Thanks again Bill, I will be enjoying the Intergra DPS-10.5 for years to come.

    Youthman, the VK 2100 cost me $ 234.00 and is 80 watts. It is as strong as theYamaha M 80 and the SC 35 in the bass department running the 7's as large and XR 5's. This is why I mentioned it since integrated tub amps can be strong and relatively inexpensive. Some of the integrated amps are not big and bulky. Just a point of info.Big Smile

    Wow! That sure is purdy! clap.gif

    My son is a very special young man he has put off his education to help take care of both of his parents.19 years old and the most caring soul I have ever known.He is 6ft tall and 240 lbs.tough as nails but the most well behaved and mannered young man i know.He has sacrificed his life to help me.Even when I have been a jerk.I love you Cody.

    Hey John,

    I see it as he's becoming a better man, having gone though everything he has gone through. He will carry his experiences with him for the rest of his life. Sometimes/usually it's the "harder" things in life that make us better people. Love and compassion are great attributes to have in life.

    He is truly blessed and I believe many people will be touched by Cody, throughout his life.

    Thanks for keeping us updated, you continue to be in my thoughts and Prayers.

    Power amplifier match

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    As for which amp to use with Heritage speakers, well that's a whole can of worms. I think you would be better off doing a search and seeing what has already been discussed many times. Some people us a 3 - 50 watt tube amp with Heritage speakers and others, like myself use100 - 300 wpc Solid State amps. The possibilities are endless.

    It's almost easier for you to find an amp and then ask for our experience with it.

    As I've cautioned before, very high power can come with a high sensitivity and high gain, which can be a PITA with Heritage efficiency -- high amp gain can magnify preamp hiss and noise, and then when you can hear it over the music, you might think you have a "noisy amplifier."

    Absolutely! My Adcom GF-555 adds some "hiss" even when the system is off. I can here a little hiss, but I don't hear it when the music is playing. I'm sure it is still there, but it is not noticeable to me. This is something to be cautious about.

    If the avr is 85 watts then the poweramp is a great Ideal. 200-300 watts is plenty or slightly overkill for the Reference line on speakers. If wait on the new model will cost more money, IMO, buy the older generation. A lot of us use older amps and they sound great. My Yamaha M 80 and Carver M 400 are from the early 80's.


    Actually, there is no more of the older model available from Emotiva. No choice but to wait ! By the way, could you tell me with what kind of amp you would power an Heritage line speakers such as Cornwalls ? I'm looking over it for the future... ! And for what kind of speakers a 1000 watts monoblock would be for ?

    The 1000 watt amp, as earlier stated, would be for something like a large Subwoofer or concert venue. Not really necessary for home use.
