| Help...DVD problems (I think??) Also, make sure you don't have your speakers placed too close to the TV. This was a problem with my setup. | |
| Bi-amping...help appreciated Oops, I missed one of your questions. You will NOT want to run your speaker level out back into the input of the receiver. If you have the cable available, you may want to just run 1 pair from the rec'r speaker level out to one of the speakers and... | |
| Bi-amping...help appreciated You need to be very careful about the receiver and amp having different gains and power curves. You may be able to fix a small difference with the balance control. My idea, if I understand this correctly, would be to run all 4 channels to the "bi-... | |
| Tubes for Top, SS for Bottom--Good Idea? Yes, it can be a great way to combine the best of both worlds. I had done it for 4 years using Counterpoint equip, Solid-2 on the bottom, NP400 on the top (Hybrid). You need to be very careful when using 2 different amps because they may have diff... | |
| LEXICON MC-1 VERSUS MERIDIAN 861 A good friend of mine wrestled with the exact same question a few months ago. He decided on the Classe, primarily because it did 2 channel SO much better. His explanation of why contained a detailed description of how the Classe is the only one wi... | |
| Upgrading audio from speakers...Help! I'm sorry, but I really have to disagree with the theories listed above. I think you are absolutely right, you start with the speakers and work back. Also, with all the changes going on in the digital world, one would be well advised not to commit... | |
| A DVD palyer that puts out true 24/96? The new Theta's. I have the DaVid and am quite happy with it. | |
| What is the name of this song?? Yes, This is Bobby McFerrin doing his acapella song routine which originally rec'd attention in a routine he did for Levi's 501 jeans in the early 80's. I forget the name of the CD, but it come out in the mid 80's. Interestingly enough, they had a... | |
| Sealed vs Vented enclosures That response is quite correct (well, very typical of that design), and there is a simple physics explanation for it all. I will try and keep this short and sweet. Sealed (Acoustically Suspended) speakers are far more accurate, and overall, just m... | |
| Tubes Top End, SS bottom? About 2 years back, I was running a Counterpoint Solid2 on my bottom (SS), and a Counterpoint SA-100 (hybrid tube) on my top end. The results were beautiful, with the "sweetness" of tubes right were they needed to be, while the bass was strong and... | |
| MD vs. tape You will almost undoubtedly have much better results with a tape player. You can get decent used tape players for a song, and you might even get paid for taking a used car tape player. One of the main drawbacks with MD's is the digital compression... | |
| Most important link: Source? Pre-amp?or? Here is a highly opinionated belief by yours truly. All else equal, speakers are by far the most important component in your system. I would recommend putting 60+% of your overall budget into the speakers, get adequate amplification next, and then... | |
| 24 bit 96khz. whats the deal? 24/96 only works if you have both a 24/96 disc (DVD audio) and player/processor capable of reading 24/96. The sound may differ somewhat when playing a regular CD on, say, a DVD audio player. You will be able to play a "regular" CD on a DVD audio p... | |
| counterpoint NPS 400 with upgrade I have been listening to my NPS400 "Ultimate" upgrade by Michael Elliot since early December. After a few weeks breakin, you will notice a smoother, more refined sense of imaging and much better liquidity. There was a certain "harshness" I remembe... | |
| Classe SSP-25 vs. Proceed AVP Hey man, get the Theta |
