| Component Video cable recommendation Hey;Freemand-- I was given the oppotunity to trade in my 'ole double module box for the quattro for 300 ducats and I jumped.--(Straight from Elliot)Boy I got fooled yesterday--- I hadn't done 2ch in about 7/10 days.--You know new toys get the high... | |
| Does anyone have Magnum XM tuners? While I read this review and think I understood it; I also wonder why they don't have a less costly version w/coax-out. This way they could have allowed those of us with a quality dac to not have to pay for their dac within. I mean 4k is a lot of ... | |
| Amp for Mirage M1 Si's?? Brand new--they came w/spikes---Don't expect much in bass definition w/o spikes.--Get U some.As I remember from the manual their setup instructions were "spot-on"--Something like 3 to 3 and 1/2 feet back and sides for unbelievable imaging.--Of cou... | |
| Component Video cable recommendation Thanks Freemand; I appreciate your input. You know I forgot: I do own the Silver Serpent. I forgot about this because I run this cable to my projector--but never use it.Long ago it was all I used.--I now do TWC instead of D*. TWC box has hdmi-out-... | |
| OPPO vs BR HD? Yes: I do Netflex--and did HD-dvd rentals before I switched to BD titles. Just about a year ago I could see the handwriting on the wall. For that time-frame there were more/better BD titles coming out so I went BD.I find because I don't try to ren... | |
| Speaker shipping suggestions I hope this poster tells us what speakers these are, and what price.?-- Me; I don't buy heavy/expensive speakers or tube amps and have them shipped xcountry.--(any more) Wood crates are a great target for non caring forklift drivers. Even if the t... | |
| Amp for Mirage M1 Si's?? --Had the 3si years ago and ran them with a Moscode 600. If one were to look into this amp; get a moded/rebuilt one and it should be still within your price range. | |
| OPPO vs BR HD? I think the audio of the new formats gets lost--in that it is superior--and some earlier players don't support true-dd dts ma even thru hdmi. They are now coming out with more players and receivers that decode these new formats.Just as an example ... | |
| Component Video cable recommendation What price, this cable? I now have an hdmi receiver (Onkyo 875)so component is less important these days.---Not to forget; my 875 needs hdmi in, to get all the benifit of the new hd audio codecs.---Love that; one cable does both; (A&V)thing. I... | |
| TAS and the Martin Logan Source I too read the review and was/ am curious on these. If you're shy; call another Mag. store and see if they do the 30 days, exchange/refund thing.-- Be aware it may take the full 30 for breakin; but you'll have a pretty good idea. | |
| Should I match powercords I like Blindjim's theory.---I would guess just about all cable makers or sellers might rec. you should use/buy their cables in every iec-'hole'. But somehow I think that's just salesmenship. | |
| Powering up amp While I always turn the amp on last---I get some noise/part garbled music if I turn off the amp first.--So therefore I conclude; I should turn off the pre first. I also conclude all amp circuits aren't the same.--YMMV | |
| Two questions about the latest Martin Logan's TAS did a review on the 'source' speaker. This is the 2k retail; model.---Pretty impressive,they say.--Can't find my copy but I think 'they' were in the latest issue. | |
| The rout is on for Blu-Ray I own the toshiba and 2 bd players. While the load time on the tosh. is slow---CONTENT-- drives the marketplace.btw; issues w/ each bd player. | |
| What's the story on auto sound calibration SSP's BTW I just set up my Onkyo 875. I listened first; then I just bumped up the center ch a taste and never used the microphone set up / and love the results in a 7.1 set up. |
