I got a new multisystem remote. At first the stereo's sound was slightly muddled. After a few days of channel surfing, however, this smoothed out entirely. I'm back to pure listening pleasure.

I have a NAD c160 preamp but I use another preamp for the phono. It is a NIKKO Beta III. It sounds way better than the NAD and it has two phono inputs. Further the level of phono 2 is adjustable, so if one phono is louder you can even them out. There is occaisionally one of these on eBay. The pre-out then goes into the NAD AUX. I think that would work well for you.

I just got a pair of Forte II's from a local seller. The only problem is - they smell like smoke. This is objectionable to me, but I have always wanted some better speakers (I'm using KG2.2v's as mains) so I bought them. So... 1- does anyone know how to get the smoke smell out? 2- If this is impossible, then is there a smoker out there who would like to buy them? I live in Iowa. dan

If so, that is the path you SHOULD go. also consider resale. Many of us are continually "upgrading." Lets say you buy a pair of Forte's for $775 and a pair of new speakers. I bet in 5 years you can get a lot more for the Forte's than you can for the 5 yr old ones.
