| Cables by LAT International I am using their SS-1000 D bi-wire speaker cables. These replaced JPS Superconductor 2 speaker wire ($2200). I had been using the JPS for over a year and after trying LAT's Mark II IC and being very pleased, I ordered the speaker wire to try. I ha... | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? I don't know why you think you will pi$$ off a lot of people. If you don't hear a difference, by all means enjoy the inexpensive players! (BTW, you didn't mention any brands/models.)Jitter, from what I understand, are timing issues in the transpor... | |
| Best power cord/integrated amp for Meridian 508... Cody, All things in audio come down to $$$; so what is your limit?I am a fan fan of LAT International wires, but I tried their AC-2 power cord on my 508.24 and the difference was very minimal; thissame power cord made a huge difference on an amp I... | |
| Cheapo remote for Meridian 508.24 Just to follow up, I purchased a Phillips univeral remote for $15 at Target and it's standard settings worked perfectly on the 508, except the power button. | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 We have played around with our connections, purchased better ones, and the grainyness is gone. But that isn't why I was going to return it; at times there is a "line" down the screen on the far left.Now that we have a better connection, I am VERY ... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Believe you me, if we had the money, I would purchase a new and larger TV for the living room!! That will have to come at another time. | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Charles,Sorry, but the 10 year old Mitsu has two video inputs! I wasn't trying to get into a "my TV is better than your TV." I purchased this TV in 2/1992 and it was something like $800 back then; it is a great TV. It sounds like we made the right... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Per your request, I will let you know how this ends up. I would like to reiterate that this is for the bedroom, hence not wanting to spend double for an awesome 27".I have an awesome 27" Mitsu in my living room that we purchased just over 10 years... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 You bring up an interesting point Fatparrot. We didn't spend a lot of time with the adjustments in the store either, we were in a bit of a hurry.The calibration that you speak of, is this something done internal or something they do with the menu ... | |
| Any Levinson owners/critics out there? Talk about opening up a can a worms!!!One thing is sure in this hobby, you can always find a critic, especially against the "leaders" in the field. Audio equipment, like music itself, is subjective, we all have our preferences.I have to agree with... | |

| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC I will attempt to keep my composure on this reply. As Upscale mentions the 383, which I own, I am bound to get a little defensive. This is my second 383, why two you may ask? Because spending time on places like this and reading many messages, whe... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Interesting remarks and rebuttals written above; at my level, I may be least appropriate to add to this discussion.I wouldn't say for sure that "You can't buy a good review at Stereophile". I have no first hand facts either. But I have talked with... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC It's interesting this is being brought up, after reading the review of the A324 the other day, I was going to start a thread on here asking questions about MF.As already stated, each product gets a rave review and either class A or B rating, which... | |
| Cheapo remote for Meridian 508.24 Thanks 7671, but I have used a Theta remote on it that performed every function, so I know I don't have to have a remote made by Meridian. Unfortunately when I sold the Theta transport I had to include the remote, which I liked.The Meridian System... |
