| Amp and Pre to match Wilson W/P 8 and others or BAT VK 75se. several on audiogon for sale. | |
| Amp and Pre to match Wilson W/P 8 and others I would consider the BAT VK 150. Reasonable cost, powerful, and glorious tube sound. | |
| Time to pull the trigger on BluRay? My projector is 1080P and likely has HDMI (need to crawl up there to confirm). I need to check the prepro. It is a 2 year old Theta Casablanca III. Cost a fortune, hope it has the connection! | |
| Time to pull the trigger on BluRay? Thanks for all the responses. I do need a machine that does both BluRay and DVD well. I surmise from the responses that if one does not have HDMI connections that it may not be worth doing. I need to check the access to my projector. | |
| Hydra 8 vs Sound Application 'Linestage Reference" Rja is absolutely right. I have had 4 different highly regarded line conditioners in my system at various times. I think you can get a sense of what their "sound" is like. However, which will suit an individuals taste can be highly variable. As I ... | |
| Hydra 8 vs Sound Application 'Linestage Reference" Just returned from the holiday, sorry for the delay. I have no way of judging the Lexicon in the way you describe as I use it now only for DVD. Initially I used it as my CD player when I was using the Theta as a pre pro. The sound was very good, b... | |
| Hydra 8 vs Sound Application 'Linestage Reference" I had both. They were not even close. The Hydra "changed" the sound of my system but did not improve it. In my system, the sound application RLS-1 was nothing short of amazing. I have had a few other conditioners that all alter the sound in one wa... | |
| German Magazine review Lexicon RT-20 April '06 I have an RT-20 and remember reading a review, in english, within the last 1-2 years. It was in a european publication. I'm fairly sure I saw it on line. As I recall, the reviewer commented on how excellent it was as a CD player. It was a glowing ... | |
| Wilson Audio MAXX series III Can anyone describe what the specific differences are? I understand there is a new head unit. Did they upgrade the tweeter? | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player My explanation will likely fall short of complete accuracy, but here is my best shot. The drive is only used for data retrieval. The signal is then processed, error corrected, reclocked, and then sent to the DAC. I presume it is supposed to resemb... | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player Recently had a chance to audition the new Boulder 1021 CD player at a local dealer. My comments will be prefaced by the dislaimer that listening to anything outside of your home system makes analysis challenging. The Boulder CD player is ultra-exp... | |
| Speaker setup experts please? I was really trying to discern whether there are any constants as it relates to speaker set-up. For example; Speakers placed further apart have a wider soundstage(Not sure if that is true). I have had the Wilson dealer out to set them up on more t... | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? Just reread your message Douglas. That was pretty aggressive and presumptuous. A bit of a high price to pay for a joke, no? | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? The $10,000 figure was hyperbole. My wife knows what each item in the system costs to within 15% I would guess. She probably doesn't think of things like cables and such if she were pressed to come up with an exact figure. It is a situation where ... | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? This is a most interesting thread. I agree with many of the posters that people tend to look at the things that they lust after, I know I do. I think that I can relate well to both sides of this issue. My first system(and only system prior to my c... |
