Wireless sound transmission to HT rears?
On my first test of the devices I got noise and anomolies but I only had the sender and receiver a yard apart. When I separated them I got better results but still the wireless piece seemed to bleach the sound a bit. I'm hoping that if the bleachi...

So Kal, it's not good enough for your "first" HT? :)Art 
Turn your Ipod into a Wireless Music Server/Remote
JM, can you go into a little more detail on the nature of the loss of fidelity? I'm thinking of using AW1 in a number of situations. For my main audio system, I'd like to place my subwoofer in a portion of the room where running a cable to it woul... 
How to box LP's
Looks great, thanks for the tips. Boxes found :) I wonder if even 2 day Fed Ex would avoid the heat problem during the summer?Art 
AudioEngine 2 vs AudioEngine5?
I just received the new desktop speaker stands from Audioengine a couple days ago - nice value at $30/pair - and they seem a perfect match, provided you want to have the speakers held at an angle pointing up a bit. In my bedroom I DO want the A5's... 
Usher: Dancer vs 6 vs X series
Interesting, thanks Todd.Art 
Bryston B3 vs. LSA Standard - What would you do?
Bryston is a far more well established brand. So if resale value or maintenance very long term are the issue, go Bryston.Having owned both Bryston gear and the original LSA "Standard" integrated amp, I much prefer the sound of the latter. This is ... 
300B for LS3/5A?
My personal memory of LS3/5a's (20 years ago) is that they are very colored, in a beautiful way. They emphasize midrange and present it wonderfully. They are shy in the treble "air" and also they have a bump in the upper bass region to compensate ... 
AudioEngine 2 vs AudioEngine5?
I prefer the M-Audio AV40 over the Audioengine A2. Kept the AV40, returned the A2. That said, Audioengine said it was rare for someone to return A2's.I'm very happy with the A5's in my bedroom system.BTW, I find it's important to NOT simply plop t... 
AudioEngine 2 vs AudioEngine5?
I like the A5 a lot but did not enjoy the A2. A5 sounds more relaxed. 
Does anyone own a pair of audioengine a2's ?
I'm happy with A5's but did not like the A2. A2 seemed to sound tight, A5 more relaxed. Hard to put into words. Both have somewhat rolled high end. Using A5 in bedroom, mibht also use them as HT rears. If I had limited space and just wanted a syst... 
Wireless sound transmission to HT rears?
You know, I use the Audioengine wireless iPod transmitter for playing iPod on my stereo, and I find it shockingly good. Never thought of using their non-iPod wireless transmitter for this purpose. Will check it out. (Skepticaly of course :)Art 
Rel Subs, 2 T1's or 1 B1
I'm using S series for my main system (Strata III) and love it. The integration with music system is uncanny. I never dreamed that any sub could integrate so well. (Everyone asks "wheres the sound of the sub" until I turn it off!).The T series are... 
SACD sounds worse or CD sounds better or ....?
SACD stomps cd when the original performance was recorded (or mastered?) in DSD. My experience with SACD's that were reissues of cd's - or simply recorded for cd with SACD as an afterthought - is that the differences are FAR more difficult to disc... 
Turntable cones/spikes or shock absorbing feet?
This might be a matter of taste. I have always loved sprung tables, LOVED them. They seem to have more depth, more imaging, more reality, to ME. By putting rubber under yours you have kind of taken a step in that direction. So I'm with you on that...
