I had a similar problem and for about a year suffered through the 75>300

How about a handful of Norh Le Amp or the new Le Amp II's? $300 each new and 180wpc monoblocks?!? VERY interesting...

Look on ebay or audiogon for an adcom 535 amp - regularly go for $150 or so. If that's not cheap enough just browse through the power amp section of ebay - http://listings.ebay.com/aw/plisting....html?from=R11 Good luck.

I've got a Sherwood Newcastle 9080 I bought over a year ago. As has been mentioned, it's a great amp and you can regularly see them around $500. It's a beast at 70lbs. and it drives my 6ohm mains and the rest of the speakers effortlessly. The only reason I'd change is power, which I don't have...

I used to have a brickwall and used it exclusively for the protection features which after all the research I did seems clear to me that it's the best out there for that. Zerosurge is actually the company that came up with it, Brickwall has licensed it for audio and HT instances and Adcom has...

I've owned / own a couple of McCormack pieces. I still have the Digital Drive SST-1 transport. One of the best transports ever. I also had the Digital Drive DAC-1 which was, in 1996 a Stereophile Class C DAC. Still sounds quite good, but I really like my Channel Islands Audio VDA-1 better. At...

In the 3.5+ years since I got my first DVD player I traded up twice so the RP82 is my third. The first (Proscan PS8680Z) I gave away and the second (Toshiba SD4700) I sold to a friend. I've got a great transport and DAC for redbook CD playback so the DVD player is ONLY used for video/movies. To...

Gone! Damn, that was quick!

Hello, I needed more outlets so this unit has to go. It is arguably the best surge protection available. http://www.pricewheeler.com/bestprot.htm NON MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based so protection will never deteriorate. MOVs are sacrificial and WILL over time become useless. This is a near...

Thanks guys! When it gets right down to it I'll send you a message and ask about the contact info. OR if you'd like just go ahead and email me with it now! Again, Thanks!

One other thing to check is, do you have a cable modem? My cable co. said that those things are also notoriously noisy and can cause a ground loop hum becasue they are sheiled and grounded so poorly. If you turn off the cable modem and disconnect it and the hum goes away that's your issue. To...

Hello, Friend is looking for a 3802. I bought mine from 6th ave a year ago for a good price - authorized dealer and all. Are they still the place to go? Thanks.

I don't have any experience with the pre/pro you're talking about but I do have quite a bit with their CS. You're right, email is NOT the way to get hold of them unless you're looking for literature on their products. Underneath the email form on thier page you'll notice they say if you have...

I second the sound king choice from Partsexpress.com - if you don't want to go that route then you can get a pretty decent deal on cables at http://www.accessories4less.com too.

Lynn, I saw a great price on a 3 channel Chiro amp at audiogon.com ($450 if it's still available!!), there were also a couple of B&K amps (3 channel) over there too.
