| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor flrnlamb, it would be nice if we got to decide our own credibility. That decision actually belongs to others, and I think in this case Dawgbyte had it right. As Rex also pointed out, there are many, many reviews posted. I'm sure that in your own m... | |
| Speaker cables I assembled an adapter for my vintage Fisher tube integrated from plexiglass with off the shelf 5-way binding posts and wire. It works perfectly though maybe not as elegant as the item Nsgarch shows. | |
| How to upgrade a nondetachable power cord? sounds great Alan. Which CJ amp did you do this on? I recently acquired 2 MF2100's with light duty captive power cords. | |
| Music volume? What about your sound level? my RS meter is reading low 80's db range (81-84 db, measured from my listening position) for my normal high volume level. My normal background listening levels are probably in the 70-74db range. I haven't tested it, but I think for the few albums ... | |
| A good match preamp for B&K EX-442 Sonata amp? I haven't owned or heard the EX-442, but did/do have many other B&K amps, including EX4420, Ref 4420, St140, and currently about running M200 Sonata monoblocks. I've tried many preamps and haven't really found any that didn't work nicely with ... | |
| Subwoofer other than Strata 3 Rel Storm III can be found used w/i your budget; although, it's a ported design, and I assume your reference to non-ported speakers implies you want a sub that's also non-ported? | |
| A good match preamp for B&K EX-442 Sonata amp? How much money are you budgeting for the preamp? As for the Receiver, I've tried using a few different receivers as a preamps (Yamaha, Denon, Sony) and while the addition of an outboard amp was an improvement, the receivers really didn't perform w... | |

| Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair I also agree regarding Dhango, the only problem is it's near impossible to find anything hi-fi, it's all that 40's recording quality. There are a number of Django desciples though, some who emulate him closely. Philip Catherine is one who does not... | |
| Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's congrat's! what stands are you using with them? | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor If you really want to save a lot of money, and you're doing this only for movies - here are some more thoughts:The B&K AVP3090 is a steal on the used market at <$300, and somtimes close to $200. It sounds great and is reasonably quiet, alth... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor I have the Lexicon DC-1 and would recommend it. It's great sounding, has all I need. DTS, DD, and Lexicon's Logic 7 - which is actually really nice. It's also dead quiet. I can't compare it the Act 3. | |
| poor vinyl I've had reasonably good experience on ebay. The shops that are honest and know how to rate LP quality are somewhat easy to spot. I had one or 2 buys that didn't meet the quality level rated, but the price in that case was about right so I didn't ... | |
| Totem Arros - Tube Amps ? Thanks Grakesh - interesting they would have that detail. As for their opinions - all of their arguments *against* using high level taps apply for a Home Theater-Movie set up (ie 5.1, or 7.1), and none of them apply in a Stereo setup. From my expe... | |
| Totem Arros - Tube Amps ? Most subwoofers (I believe) have 2 input options - Hi level, and Low Level. Hi level inputs take signal from a Power amplifier, Low Level inputs take signal from the preamp. In the case of low level, it's always an RCA interconnect (and on the Rel... |
