I have been running my little bedroom studio with an old Fisher stereo receiver as the power source for the last few years, but it is getting tired and needs to be replaced. I thought I'd see what you all might have in the way of suggestions. Keeping in mind that it needs to be under $200 I am considering this unit. It is new enough that there seems to be no reviews. Take a look if you have a moment and see what you think.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Alesis RA300 You can find these all day on Ebay for about $150 used. Good quality amp and the best bang for your buck imho with none of that bs about peak power. I also picked up a nice SAE receiver at a yard sale for $50 a few months ago, that would work well in the studio too. SAE made some very good stuff back in the day.

For an audio amplifier in the studio, but a studio amp.

Behringer for a while has gotten such a bad rep, but you know what? Their product performs.

So, I would suggest this, and a set of monitors, if you don't have real studio monitors, to go with it.

http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/pro...fier?sku=480780

You might consider teaming it with these Behringer passive monitors, as well.

http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-TRUTH-B2031P-Passive-Monitors-?sku=600604

Make sure you read the customer reviews.

Finally, if you can't afford both together, skip the amplifier, and go directly to Powered Monitors. The following are 'B-Stock' KRK V4II V series. I know exactly what these sound like (my boss uses them on her desk) and they are an amazing speaker. For an extra $60-75, over your $200 limit, you'll thank yourself for a very long time.

After a few months of ownership, I highly recommend the BX8a Deluxe series. (I know, they are a little higher than $ amount mentioned but can be found in the $350 range)
Especially 'new' ones from a recent run at the factory. They seem to have fixed an issue they had previously. I bought right away when I heard they had started a fresh run, as even the people that had problems would still mention the incredible detail and depth of the speakers.
I got an 'inside word' that a new run was started with new methods.
I bought from an online store, but received the speakers shipped direct from factory, which wasn't normal from this vendor (they keep a stock). It was a speaker salesman there that let me know a fresh run was being done, and someone at M-Audio confirmed. Of course a problem was never acknowledged, but this new run was 'improved'...

For years now I have been a believer of getting powered monitors - everything comes matched for best results.

Bob,
New run of BX8a's, huh? Well, I can always take my RP5's to work and have them there! That sounds like another case of 'GAS' for which I do not have the money.

What monitors are you currently using? If you happen to have top-class passive monitors then an amp would be the best way to go. However, the amp you're sugesting has a lot of bells and wistles on board which you really don't want. An amp has to amplify the inputsignal; nothing more and nothing less. You don't want your amp to "color" the sound. So if you want the most bang for bucks, look for an amp with only an on/off button and a volume control. (all the money goes to what you want, nothing to things you don't need)

If your speakers are regular hifi speakers, then active would be the best way to go. Amp and speaker are designed to match.

See how far you can stretch your budget. Then go to a well sorted store and test the monitors that are in your pricerange. Take a couple of reference cd's with you (music you are really familiar with) and take your time.
Remember you're not looking for the nicest sounding monitor. You want the ones that reproduce the music as acurate as possible.

When you finaly have your new monitors in your studio be sure to get to know them; learn where they boost or cut frequencies.

Good luck and let us know what you decided on!

Probably just needs all controls cleaned and lubed.

I'm using the cheapest of the cheap. Everything I have is very low end.

Old Fisher rs1022 stereo receiver
Technics double cassette deck
KLH bookshelf speakers
Soundcraft Compact 4 mixer
MXL 990 Mic
Nady phones

Whatever else was on sale at the thrift shop.

Most of my money goes to the important stuff like food hehehe.

Radio Shack has an aerosol control cleaner (part #64-4315) which is significantly better than what they offered in the past. I recently used it to restore a Behringer mixer which was given to me in which several of the faders had ceased to work due to heavy cigarette smoke. I thought that 11 bucks for a $200 mixer was a pretty good deal.

If switches and pots in your amp--or any other piece of equipment--are scratchy or intermittent, this may be just the fix.

That may be. But your productions are top notch!
In the end it is not what you have but how you use your gear that makes the difference.

Should your amp (after Mac's sugestion) really need to be replaced, you might want to try selling your bookshelf speakers and go for a set of powered studio monitors. There a lots enough monitors available at $100 a piece (most monitors are sold per piece but there are that are sold as a set).

I think that will be the first step, to see if the pots and switches can be salvaged. Then I can start saving for some powered monitors.

I had considered that but read several reviews from people who did not get good results with the Radio Shack cleaner/lube, supposedly due to the silicon used for lubricating. Worth a try though. Thanks for all the input. After I get back in town next week I'll tear it apart and see what happens.

Don't use Radio Shack cleaner.
Maybe try something like CAIG brand ...

Looks like they've changed their product line name to DeOxit ...

A while back i picked up a pair of BX5a powered monitors and i just absolutely love them, i found them at guitar center sitting in a blowout rack all scratched up, and it looked like they had had things stacked all over them, but the cones were in great shape. I bought them for under $100 and with some cleaning and a bit of flat black pain they look great.

But best of all they sound great. Sometime all one has to do is be patient, and wait for a deal to land in their lap. I use these now for all mixing, and also to play files for practice of live material.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, my gig amps are a 100W Fender Keyboard and a 300 W Behringer Keyboard...

but....for just a bass-guitar gig I take my Behringer BH1800...and for playing back my BIAB Real Tracks this baby makes the playback RB tracks of the software smack you upside yo head...very cool!

I know all the Behringer brand naysayers, but these bass cabs... semi-lightweight amps like the 1800...have fine at producing great sound at low wattage!

Sounds like an Ampeg when I play one of guitars through it. Well, after a Manhattan or two! It's just an great sounding lil thing at $250.

Behringer's Ultrabass BXL1800 delivers a ton of great features in an economical package. A wedge-shaped bass combo with a powerful 12" speaker and 180W of output, it is a perfect size for most gigs. It provides a clean and a distortion channel, each with full control. Its 7-band EQ features a revolutionary See-What-You-Play FBQ frequency indicator that immediately shows you which bass frequency corresponds with which fader on your EQ to allow you instant sound shaping. Beyond that, a switchable Ultrabass subharmonics processor and a compressor with adjustable threshold let you further tailor your sound to suit the style, while a musical limiter keeps you from ratting out when you're hitting the strings hard. An included 2-button footswitch lets you channel and Ultrabass select on the fly. An FX loop is provided, and a headphone jack lets you keep your practicing to yourself.

Behringer Ultrabass BXL1800 180W 1x12" Bass Combo Features:
Powerful 180W 2-channel bass combo in wedge-shaped cabinet allowing rock-back use
Original 12" Bugera speaker
Clean channel with dedicated gain control
Distortion channel with dedicated Gain, Shape and Level controls
Ultramusical, active 7-band graphic EQ with FBQ Spectrum Analyzer
Revolutionary See-What-You-Play FBQ frequency indicator for instant, targeted sound shaping
Switchable Ultrabass subharmonics processor for unbelievable low-end power
Integrated compressor smooths out volume peaks when playing dynamic slaps
Musical limiter for ultimate volume without distortion
Dual footswitch for Channel select and Ultrabass function included
Separate headphone output perfect for quiet practicing
Balanced XLR DI and line outputs for direct connection to your mixing console
CD input allows you to play along to your favorite music
Dedicated FX Insert for external effects devices (stomp boxes, rack effects, etc.)
High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction

Bob,
Yes it is a starting point. But, it was more of an example than an inducement to buy. There are deals out there, if you want to go looking for them.

We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
