| Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC My Bryston BDA-3 DAC has ten inputs, selectable buttons on the front panel or the remote. Has balanced and RCA outputs. Stereophile Class A (not that that means a thing!). Not sure how much you're looking to spend...the BDA is $4k. Regards, ba... | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @chocaholic Thanks. I married a good one also. Music lover and doesn't give a hoot about $$ spent on audio. In fact, she hears things and complains to me "that is not right!". Regards, barts | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @chocaholic Thanks...Mississippi is quite a drive for me, so that is out, but I am slightly confused due to you saying the 717 "it's in transit as I type this". Does this gentleman sometimes ship and sometimes not? Regards, barts | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @chocaholic I have a Sansui AU-20000 that will not come out of protection mode. I've been told it is essentially a boat anchor. Used it for many years and really liked it, put it in a closet when the ARC amps appeared out of nowhere (wink). W... | |

| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home @hilde45 My greatest concern with a home demo is perception. You obviously really like these speakers and I submit that they would have to sound pretty bad in your space for you to return them. As many have stated above, pick up late Saturday ... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole +1 @hilde45 I would simply add way way over-rated and way way way overplayed. Regards, barts | |

| Songs of debauchery and excess Billy Idol - White Wedding This one is my all-time favorite, it just kills me: Red Peters - I Laughed...I Cried...I Fudged My Pants Nearly the entire album. Regards, barts | |
| Vinyl record cleaning @emrofsemanon They never let them get dirty...blow them off with dry nitrogen to remove any dust. Regards, barts | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Bach's Branden Brandenburg Concertos, in their entirety. No matter the music you pick...it will make your crazy!! Regards, barts | |
| Passive speakers for desktop Are these speakers going to straddle a computer monitor? Sounds like your desk is in a separate room? If so, will you be able to sit away from the desk to enjoy you new speakers? Hard to wrap my around $10K desktop speakers. Sorry for the rap... | |
| Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos? The best part of my tri-amped (outboard electronic x-over) is that the bass can do what it wants and the mids and highs have no clue. Stay in the same amp family and it will work out. Regards, barts |
