| The Theta Pro Gen VIIIs are now shipping has Your mileage may vary but I sold my Va 96/24 for almost the same as I paid for Enkeinthis.---Not in the same league--to me. Theta has just spent to much attention on HT;and toooo much time has passed. Unless your setup is already better than Alber... | |
| The "Great Ones" are coming down in Price I posted my original reply just about 2 years ago. I have sold the Cit. 7.0 since then. I bought a used Meridian 565 that had the 7.1 dts upgrade added. (About 10 leaps forward)----This Meridian for between 1300 and 1700,used, has to be the best "... | |
| Pre-amp/processor Do we think about it yet? When you're ready, get the stand alone processor. If you like keep your amp and pre. One just goes from the rca-outs for the 'fronts' on the processor, back into another input on your preamp. So for 2ch you'll be using say the 'cd' input.---Then f... | |
| progressive scan Yes, it does depend on the display.Many of the new displays up-convert the dvd progressive signal to 720. If your display does this then progressive will give you better pq. Most all of the early RPTV (hdtvs) won't do 720,so how old your display i... | |
| What causes clipping? My guess is the speakers have been fried.It doesn't take much 'crackling' to fry a driver,now the original reason as to why can sometimes be from a momentary short. (In addition to what others have posted) | |
| 48 kHz Jitter Box? Just about any 2 ch dac will handle the 48 signal from cable or sat. Any 2ch dac will improve this signal,including your Lense. It should lock on;no problem. (I had one years ago.) Most all cable boxes have a coax out.----- Or did I misunderstand ... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ I'm down with Meridian. Maybe not as many setup options for sacd etc.--but,for sound quality you don't have to spend for an 861 to beat anything listed above. (568, or 568.2) | |
| preamps that have sub connection ? Just about all home theater pre's have a "sub-out". Just about no 2ch pre's will have a sub out. Most 2ch pre's have an extra set of "main-outs".(but no crossover) | |
| upgrade transport or amps..advice please The amps,fer'sure. These Marantz jobs are fine for HT. At your budget there are dozens of amps that will "make" more music;thus making you more happy. | |
| Center Channels sound crappy I think pro logic came out in the late 80's / early 90's (thereabouts). I was just wondering what the use for a center speaker one might have had in 1974? | |
| Vivaldi fans lend me your ears for a moment... Try the 'Bis'# 275 version--puts all I've ever heard on the back burner.Nils Erick Sparf-- Drot. Home Baroque. | |
| Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one Had bad luck with BAX--TWICE. Like the poster above;they came out,looked at the speaker---"yup,the forklift did that"--- :claim denied. (Wood crated) Just a couple of mos. ago claim for 9 loose solder joints to one of my CJ8's. These come with "pa... | |
| Surprisingly good shipping option A word of caution; the letter carrier will take a personal check as payment for a COD.---They do not insist on a Postal Money Order. | |
| What about the Hales Transcendence 5's I do remember,just from the review, they said the 5's weren't all that much better than the 3's. I have heard good things about the 8's. | |
