| Blu Ray or Oppo? Oppo and Playstation3, covers all bases. The Playstation beats any other blu-ray out there. The station enables software updates, nothing else does. So, your set to go, for a long time. As for the 'not a sure thing', who do think will put $10 bill... | |
| Love my ipod, Hate my ear buds.... Marry any of the sugggested phones with custom ear molds especially made for the earphones you like. I have ER-6's with custom molds and the package sounds great. Most audiogist's can do the molds and should cost about $100. | |
| current system not going to cut it??? Why are you not using the optical cable out? While only the HDMI will put out 7.1, the optical will put out 2.0 and 5.1. I believe the optical is active when the hdmi is connected. | |
| What If? ProAc's, 1SC's. ATC's are also good. as jaybo posted. | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? Sky Diving, at least two jumps a month. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Upgrade Dump the scoutmaster and start over, x the ring, cart and sds. Get a unit with the 10.5i, super platter and rim drive. VPI upgrades are just not cost effective. Better to sell off the old and start over with a VPI new rig. Shop, shop and more shop... | |

| reel to reel Need a price point, otherwise go for a Technics 1500 or 1700. | |
| Getting into tubes - need guidance Really look into the Cayin/VAS line. Great sound, value and support. Go with pure tube units, foget the hybirds for now. If you become satisfied with pure tubes, you don't need to look further. | |

I have the 70 and 100 and use them to drive proac's. Sweet sound. I did look at the PrimaLuna but found the Cayin warmer. Also, I am a remote cont... | |
| what do i really need 1080p for? Check out the Sony XBR6 series, either the 32 or 37. CC and BB has them and you can get a hands on, eye full. It has all the connections you will ever need. | |
| suggest valve amplifier for Living Voice speakers Cayin, is the best sound and value out there. | |
| Best way to add remote volume control to tube pre. I have two of the chase units, one of the units I use with tube mono blocks. Sound is great. I also have cayin amps that have their own remotes and the sound is about equal. I paid about 100 for each. | |
