C o l d!!! W.W. Sorry for the delayed responce, but this cold snap and subsequent "icing" event has played havock with my job as i work for a rural highline power provider. Roadtripping with the equipment is not a problem, only planning the trip. My friend from N.B. was born and raised in San...

W.w. Im sorry but i dont know all of your names yet. In answer to wardsweb i wish i could borrow a tubed pre or anything 4 that matter. But there is no high-end store in Angelo. As for your offer to listen in San Antonio; a very good friend of mine lives in NB.so that may b an option. Would...

Spike, At present, the only volume control i have is from my Marantz cd player. I love the sound of my system,but i have it choked down. The THX output of the Parasound amp is set about half way, otherwise, one bar of volume on the cd player will blow you out of the room. I feel like with a...

in @ out Thanks Tod, for the information. Now that thats behind us what would you do ? I've read good things about both, But i guess what i'm after is which way to turn. I've seen your system and many others on this site and trust all of yals knowledge. This is probably one of my last moves...

lights Thanks Churchill, you've got a great looking system too! My next move is to put in recessed lighting, yours looks really sharp!

Correct Sansui it is. And sp's to be exact good eye Satch! I got those from a garrage sale $10.00. They have spme scratches on top, lilke maby the previous owner had a cat but other than that, they are fine. I just dont have a place to put them rightnow

thanks some times warmer than others jim! Thats always fun to explain to newcomers. I read in these very pages this morning, good amps run hot. Not saying that the Parasound is the best, but it does keep the room toasty. John Curl likes it hot.
