| Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500 I agree with Sean . I watched this tthread develop since yesterday. My first instinct was to say that all speaker manufacturers make a speaker in this price range so take your pick. I refrained from being a wise guy waiting for Sunny to answer Sea... | |
| GRANITE 657 CDP anybody heard it? I had considered the 650 prior to the intro of the 657. I also ran into the same problem of not enough info (reviews)to go on. I am glad to hear of Racer's positive experience. The biggest reason I did not audition the Granite was the lack of cont... | |
| may i put an hdtv over a fireplace? Why sure you can. Don't listen to the above posters. They are just jealous cause they never thought of it before. I bet most of them are hanging their's above the fireplace as I type, just trying to be the first to post how they love the way their... | |
| Do CD-R's play on your player? If no, why not? When burning a cdr you must close the session before it will play. Some software allows for the burning of the disk and leaving it open so that you can add more at a later time. I don't think cdrw's will play on anything except computers. probably... | |
| Best rack that can be built into the wall Rivercity> Check out the Standesign as mentioned by Tigger. It may suit your needs. However if you are putting this in a wall where you will have access to the back from another room, you could probably get a local custom cabinet shop to build ... | |
| Help with CD player 1000 I own the Theta Miles (unbalanced) and am very pleased with it. As to your concerns about the analog volume control being old technology; I don't think old necessarily makes it bad. The analog volume control is supposed to be better than digital a... | |
| Digital Shootout I have the Miles and am happy with it. It does all things well. Great bass, a must have if you're a rocker although it does all genres of music well. It is forgiving of poorly recorded cd's. There were cd's that were unlistenable before Miles. Tha... | |
| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas The basic criterion for WAF (wife approval factor) or in this case GAF are 1 Is it pretty?2 Can I make it function with the push of 1 button?3 Is it small and does it fit in with the decor?There are those who have posted above who have mentioned t... | |
| Help with new speakers You MUST check into Silverline Sonatas. Fantastic mids, great imageing(sp) works well with tube or SS. Retails for 6k but I've seen them for less on Agon. The Mkll has 2 woofers and offers better bass than Mkl but that's the only sound difference. | |
| Power Strips You should consider the purchase of a Monster Cable HTS 2000 power center. It is a power conditioner/surge protector which retails at about $200. You can buy it cheaper on ebay and you may be able to get it here also. There are others that may be ... | |
| Need help understanding signal to subwoofer Swampwalker> This has been my thinking as well, however I have also been advised to connect to CJ and then set processor to large front speakers and the rest small. Set sub as no or equivilent and then all bass will go to fronts and thus to sub... | |
| Warm, smooth cd with good bass under 1700 used ok Looking for good bass and finesse? You should consider the Theta Miles. It does all music well and comes balanced (optional). Used will be around $1100 ($1300 balanced). Also Meridian 508-24 should fit the bill. Cary 303 seems to be the rage at th... | |
| Theta Gen VI? Nope, Gen VIII - UPDATE Kev~ I got the same response from Theta concerning Ser #. I was quite put off as much by the lady's attitude as the $25 charge. In contrast, I called Conrad Johnson and talked to them about a piece of used equipment I was considering. They gave me... | |
| Like it or not..... Welcome back Sean. Don't you just love the Windows OS? Seems that I have to format my hard drive at least every year to keep things running right. Techs at local computer shop tell me they do theirs every 3-4 months. What a hassle. | |
| Cable, hi-fi neophyte lost in Space You might consider Homegrown Audio. They have a 30 day $ back guarantee. Many consider them of reference quality at a bargain price. I have their Silver Lace ic's and am very pleased. |
