| Optional S/PDIF digital input for APL Denon 3910 James, I feel your pain. Out of curiosity, did you give your $$ and Esoteric to Alex or to Brent? | |
| Optional S/PDIF digital input for APL Denon 3910 I have to disagree with you guys. NO question that Alex is a genius, but I would be completely shocked if one of the other well known mod companys could not make repairs and upgrades to the APL players. If Alex has been mia for most of 2008, all o... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 I was using the VTL7.5 Series 1. I gave very serious thought to sending in my unit for a Series 2 upgrade, hoping it would equal running my Modded Esoteric direct as I really wanted to keep a preamp in my system, but in the end, I decided not to w... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 I believe Shane Buettner sold his original VTL7.5 to buy a REF3 about 1.5 years ago. I chatted with him when he had his VTL up for sale on AG and I know he ended up with a REF3 shortly thereafter.I bought a brand new VTL 7.5 and used it for about ... | |
| anyone modded an Esoteric to get digital inputs? Along with the complete NWO 2.5 mod, Alex Peychev @ APL HiFi also installed a digital input (coaxial RCA) in my UX-1 Limited. It works perfect and presently is connected to a vista laptop. I switch between the UX-1 and the digital input via remote... | |

| Plextor closes it's doors to CD and DVD products I thought I read that BenQ made some of the drives for Plextor or they were going to be??? I do know that some of the BenQ and Plextor drives are virtually identical in parts & chipsets. The BenQ DW1655 scored as good as or better than the Ple... | |
| ARC LS 25 Mk 11 Bypass Absolute nonsense ...it is a pass through and no degradation of the signal.Maybe you are the One who is confused. When you say its a pass through, are you implying it just passively switches wires because that is not the case. The preamp is acc... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro / Model 5 Set Up The exact same procedure is recommended for setting up the 5A's as well, per RV. | |
| ARC LS 25 Mk 11 Bypass I did this exact application with a ARCLS25MK2 about 3 years ago. I used a Theta Casablanca home theater processor, and fed the left front channel and the right front channel outputs (via XLR cables) from the CB into the "By-Pass" inputs of the LS... | |
| Go DirecTV About 6 months ago, I installed a 2nd hard drive in my DirecTV HR-10 250 receiver. It doubles (possibly more than doubles) the storage capacity, was an easy install and works 100% perfect. IMO and in my experience, this is a great web based compan... | |
| best Direct TV HD receiver Phil, If you have a high enough monthly plan with Directv, the Tivo service is free. However, you technically do not have to ever "use" tivo. But I guarantee that you will. At minimum, you will have it record your favorite few shows. But the other... | |
