| To "tube" or not to "tube" For those speakers (802s) one needs lots of high power in their tube amp---how much $$$ are you thinking??? | |
| Austin City Limits I'm sure pbs saves its best shows for the pledge drive times. Last night that country western show was great. I should have dvr-ed it and zipped past the yacking. | |
| Loud Audible Hum/Noise from C/J Tube Amps More on this fluorescent lights thing:--I sold a member an amp I had owned for at least a year and he complained about hum/ buzz---This amp was always quiet as a church mouse in my system---It ended up being this type of lights in his house. | |
| Loud Audible Hum/Noise from C/J Tube Amps I've had 2 CJ mono pairs,still have the 8xs---no hum. Me,I would swap out the ic's.---all of 'em. Fluorescent lights, anywhere in the house can cause such things as well. I also run a very good conditioner, that be Audio Response. The only hum I w... | |
| digital cable If a dealer isn't pushing a brand, or his brand, it doesn't make a difference, his opinion is probably more valued than some---at least to me. | |
| HDMI vs. Component Cable I got a bit confused from your post. In this case the tv/display device is the most important item and seems to be left out of your post.The basics dictate if you have this HDMI input on your tv, that, is what you should be using.--Then you should... | |
| Wilson Sophia or AvantGarde Uno? As a generalization, you should know the Wilsons will sound better than---with a larger variety of equipment driving them.---i.e.they are less fussy/easier to drive.6K is a great price,pick them up and they will sound pretty good on most any decen... | |
| Using a projector for Blu-Ray or HD DVD I have the Sony Ruby and a Toshiba x1a. All discs don't floor me but the good discs do.I use a 92 size screen. Further I rent from Netflix,which is a cheap option. At this point, being Sony is behind BD; I really expect BD to win this race. The PS... | |
| Audiophile movie As far as crazy and such---I watched the auto auctions on the Speed channel. 5 mil for a Shelby Cobra?? I suddenly feel almost normal; and at least I use my stuff everyday. | |
| Former Merlin Owners I owned the VSM-MM's--before super bam--(owned for 4/5 months) I Never could get the low/mid bass I expected---Compared to the Sophia 2's I have now--(over 1 year)(Sorry, Bobby)Dif.strokes?? | |
| video cable for audio use Just one more supporting opinion. Back when 2ch. dacs were becoming popular Audioquest 2ch.ic cable was found able to to work as a digital linc and digital and video are the same so it would seem they work for either purpose. | |
| Affordable center channel to match Sophia's? This very subject has come up a time or two in the past. I got the Soph.2's.-- HT just ain't as important to me so the price of their center is much more than I want to spend. It would be nice to know of a brand that would blend in,ya know, kinda ... | |

| Placette The little Placette passive,as most have stated is more pre than one should expect. Sure there are better pre's but not at that price. Keep in mind a lot depends on the quality of the rest of your parts/ the output voltage of your transport/ the l... | |
| Video for Movie Room Unfortunatly all front projectors will wash out the picture to some degree;(understated). This refers to your blacks and all dark scenes. While LCD displays have come down in price and up in quality 1800 for a 55" display might make you happy as l... |
