| 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. | |
| where do i go from here? DK - Changing cables is a good move and will help in soundstage mostly but will not fix your lack of bass. The CJ 2300 amp is rated 240 wpc @8ohms and is made specifically for tough loads ie Theil (see CJ website) Therefore i doubt your amp is the... | |
| help with HT setup? I appreciate the suggestions so far. I should also mention that my system is used predominately for 2 channel listening about 80%-20%. Therefore I am not interested in spending the $ that I have in 2 channel for HT but would like the most bang for... | |
| help with HT setup? Forgot to mention that I am trying to stay at $750 or below | |
| Improving bass response I had the same problem you have and cured it by replacing my cdp with a Theta Miles cdp. It made a big difference and especially in the bass reproduction. However your speakers will not give you the bass that you are most likely looking for. Sonas... | |
| Walking that fine line: What would you do ? SeanI noticed that Diana Krall's mike is mixed extremely hot to the point of distortion. I only have "When I Look In Your Eyes" by her and there are a couple of songs that the process you describe is very noticable. In the following link there was... | |
| anyone? anyone? Custom built is about the only way to get one for big screen TV. There are some on the market, but they won't accomidate audiophile equipment. They are also very plain in appearance and are particle board covered in vinyl. I ran into the same dile... | |
| Any great speakers out there? Silverline Sonatas did it for me. | |
| Furniture-grade cd storage Check out Sam's club. I bought one from there which holds about 550 cd's. It is an oak mission style cabinet with 5 drawers in the middle and doors with storage on each end. It is about 40 inches tall and 28 inches wide. Kind of plain looking but ... | |
| Large Advents Vs. New Advents of the '70s I believe the large Advents were the predecessor to the new Advents. There was a change in the woofer of the new Advents and I believe the tweeter stayed the same. The original tweeter was orange in color and had a square plate that was mounted di... |
