| EL 34 tubes It may be a tube,and not just an output tube.the6922 driver tubes factor in as well. Check your bias.The front push button,hold down and turn the trim pot so as there is no noise.The backs so the light burns med;not its brightest,nor dimest.The fr... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Ammused to death is my all time/most played ever, cd.I understand they recorded the effects/stuff out of phase---as they do for surround sound.Some things come from behind or beside you.Best 2'ch ss.Love the music and the lyrics as well.It is a so... | |
| My Talk with Roger of XLO (power cords) While I confess to being "dumb as Dirt":I own 3 different brands of power cords that I paid over 600 ea.for.All 3 brands Make a LARGE difference when used with my pre amp.(Cat mk3)The King Cobra,naturally the biggest dif. So sign me "no brains---j... | |
| Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase? Amongst the main miscosceptions of life : assuming what comes easy to you,is easy for everybody.I never heard any of the pieces I own before I bought them.In a showroom,I am "putty"waiting to be molded. Heck,I'm not much better on the phone with a... | |
| DADs an "interim" format?? While all dvd players will play these discs,the true sonic benifits are not realized,unless your transport outputs the true 24/96 to your coax;otherwise the payer"waters-down" the signal to 48 sampling rate. | |
| DVD players that make good transports Opinion?? got one.---I have Pioneer dv 09;I have Theta Data 3.Using the same lincs;Ill d-60's, going into a Purcell ,then into 24/96 Theta 5a;both transports from their coax out.The sound from the 09 is lacking in bass,compared to the data 3, BIGT... | |

| Component Video In Upgrade Possible? This is only a repeat of what my ISF guy told me.You would almost have to tear the set apart.Component input by passes the NTSC decoder,and has to be done from the ground up.I am in the same boat; Pioneer Elite pro 119 We just bought our sets to e... | |
| Inteligent high end cableing I'm with Tmi2. ONLY Stereophile drools all over Wilson,and what ever speaker they come out with.(WAY out of my budget range.)TAS did a review on a new speaker called "Kharma". 70 grand with stands;Not cheap, but 5.1's used go for 80 grand.The revi... | |
| Processor only - No preamp? Got no help on the pieces you mention---BUT--- DVD is here,make no mistake on that.Not saying that 5/6 years things will be the same.there are sooo many titles.I also think you'll hate the sound from a "budget"SS processor.They all muck up the sou... | |
| Pioneer dv414..upsamples to 24/96??? NO! That process is done by certian out board DAC's that have the Burr Brown chip installed in them. No budget dvd player does this. | |

| Best amp for Silverline Sonatinas In addition to single ended(SET-triode) OTL's are a good suggestion for these speakers. | |
| Do 24 bit cdps play HDCD discs ??? The pacific microsoft pmc 100 chip is in the dac.Or in the dac section of a player.So if you're using coax out,the dac must have the chip.Same for 24/96.Burr Brown chip.In the dac.Each of these chips are an improvement.The B B chip being the much ... | |
| Any TIVO users out there?? Excuse me,I know I didn't start this thread.I have a couple of related questions.How do tvo and replay tv compare/differ? Monthly fee? Picture/sound quality? Can you bypass the box? I have read several reviews,I understand about recording speed/ l... |
