I'd bring a furniture pad (the ones movers use) to go underneath them. You can rent them at U-haul if you don't have any. I'd also cover them with the same and strap/tie them down well. Congratulations on the new Khorns! [Y] Dennie

Hey Beta, If you're listening to MP3's, that is most likely your problem. All of my Itunes are Lossless and sound pretty good though my 2 channel set up. But my buddies Ipod (mp3) sound pretty bad through my 2 channel set up. I don't think any DAC is going to help much with MP3's. Dennie

Congratulations Steve! 10 years is a long time to do anything! [D] Thanks for being a part of this great forum. [Y] Dennie

Hey Tom, I have the 970 and use it for Music and Movies. I have never had any issue's with it. Most electronics can be "reset". Usually you hold the power button in for ten seconds or something like that. If he or you have the manual, find out how to reset it to factory settings and see if that gets rid of the problem. Let me know if you need me to dig out my manual. Remember, after it is reset, you'll have to go through all of the set-up menu's again. But it may take care of the problem. I hope this helps, Dennie

Hey Rich, First, let me say I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to TT set up. But a couple of things come to mind. Did you check alignment, tone arm weight, etc.? Are you sure the wires are correct and not broken anywhere? Did you change anything else? I know I am probably going over the obvious, but it is the obvious that can mess me up sometimes. Dennie

I picked this one up yesterday. I think I paid $7 or $8 for it. I bought a few albums, but this was the only picture disc. I don't intend on playing it, but I've always had "a thing" for Linda, so it was a no-brainer! Same picture on both side, "side one" and "side two" printed at the bottom of the pictures. Dennie

It is always great to hear about forum sucess stories, especially when they involve a vintage turntable. [] Thanks for sharing and adding to the list of one forum member taking care of another member![Y] Dennie

I say Yea! It now looks like a horn instead of a "black hole"! Nice Job OE! [Y] Dennie

I've had a 555 in and out of my rack a few times. It is a very good amp with lots of headroom. I loaned it to a friend and now he won't give it back. LOL I think he is going to buy it off me. I am currently using a Adcom GFA 7607 (125wpc x's 7) in my HT rig. It has been on since the day I bought it new. I think that was 2004 or 05. Never an issue. In the winter, I do run a fan on it, as the heater vent is not far from my rack. But in the summer, it is not a problem as the AC keeps everything pretty cool. Kudo's for having a wife that buys you an amp! [Y][<)] Dennie

That sounds like a good choice of color. Do you have any pictures? Thanks, Dennie

This is a very interesting thread, but my La Scala's are getting nervous! [^o)] I can't wait to see the "painted" versions. Thanks, Dennie

Hey Deathrend, Don't worry about their judgment, it is only your judgment that matters. Listen, Listen, Listen! Go listen to as many speakers as you can. Take music that you know very well and go listen. Take notes. Listen to speakers that are over your budget, under your budget and within your budget. Get an idea of whats out there and what sounds good to you. Don't worry about matching your center channel right now. You can always run a phantom (tell the AVR no center speaker and it will split the signal to the left and right speakers) center until you can find a matching one for your (soon to have) mains. Don't "over think" this. It is about quality sound. Close your eyes and listen to the music. If a speaker can do music "right" it can do HT right also. .....and by all means, have fun! Dennie

Hey Deathrend, welcome to the forum! I have not listened to any of those speakers you mentioned, but I have to tell you that the mains are the most important speakers for HT and 2 Channel listening. So, my advise to you is get the best speakers you can afford. You will not be sorry. Even if you need to save up a little longer, it will be the best investment you can make. If you "settle" now on speakers, you will just want to upgrade again in the near future. We're glad you're here and we hope you keep us posted on your speaker search. Dennie

I second the Oppo BluRay player! But I don't think they have released it yet. I know people are beta testing them right now, but I don't think there is a release date yet. Dennie

That looks great Russ! Nice Job![Y] Dennie

Hey Cowcio, I know some people that swear by the Mackie 824's. They are supposed to be very accurate. Here is a LINKY-----------------------------> CLICK HERE Let me just say, I have not used these! But the people I know are audiophile types and love them. Good Luck with your search, Dennie

New Mint! Dennie[^o)]

Hey Duder, What is your budget? Dennie

That's it! Yeah, I thought $20 was a steal! I did google it, but I was wondering if anyone here had experience with it? I am making room in the rack for it now. Thanks, Dennie

Well, I did it. I stopped at a yard sale today and there it was just sitting there with no price on it. I asked the Lady how much for the "old radio"? She said what'll you give me for it? I said $20! She said SOLD! Then went on to tell me it was her Dads and she was pretty sure he bought it new. It still has the schematic on the bottom of the wooden cabinet, in the original envelope. So, what do I have? Is it any good? I opened it up and it looks brand new inside. It does have the Pre-out and Main in, so I can still use my Audio Control C 101 III Eq for room correction. I am just wondering if it is worth hooking it up and giving it a listen. I have to say, I don't think my 10 gauge speaker wire is going to fit into the spring loaded speaker jacks, I might have to switch to 14 gauge speaker wire. Thanks in advance for any advise, help, comments. Dennie

Welcome to the forum Cognactriode....wonder who ended up with the Marantz? Looks like desron15 has been awol for the past 3 1/2 years. Whats up with that desron? I guess he sold it and now has nothing to listen through!?!?! [:'(] Poor guy! Dennie

I run a SVS 20-39 pc plus with my La Scala's and it blends perfectly. So much so, I often have to reach under the sub to see if it is on or not, it always is on! [] Dennie

......and they offer Free Shipping. Nice!!! [bs][N] Dennie

Then wouldn't the delay from the AVR apply? Are you running the signal low level or high level? If you are running them in stereo, then run them high level (speaker wire) and the delay from the AVR should apply. Right? Dennie
