| Is Quality Prog. Scan DVD Under $500 possible? Toshiba SD-9200, a few years old, was top of the line, solidly built, and well regarded for audio as well, but on the higher end of your budget; Denon 2800 Mk II or 2200. Also newer LG and samsung models are worth taking a look at. They also have ... | |
| hd tuner/hd-dvd player The model you saw is probable the LG3510A, which will output OTA high definition signals through either a DVI-D or component connections. The nice feature about this unit is that if your video monitor only has one DVI input, you are essentially in... | |
| Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP I spoke to a speaker manufacturer's customer service department about this issue just last week. They advised that they had done alot of testing on damaged drivers and it was not worth replacing it unless the dent impeded the movement of the cone.... | |
| Upgrade cable for Senn 600s?? There are a ton of threads on the Senn replacement cables over at www.head-fi.org. I believe the Equinox come standard at 9 feet and price at $190.00. Additionally, Zu cable has recently come out with the Mobius, which many seem to like. They have... | |
| Which HT processors better than Lexicon MC1? How about Anthem AVM2 or AVM20, or Classe SSP-30 MkII. Also, if you are happy with your current home theater processor, you could just add a two channel preamp for music, like an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A, BAT vk-3i, etc. or another model with ... | |
| Which DVDP? For video quality you should look at the DVD Benchmark article, Progressive Scan Shootout from December 2003 that analyzed both of these units. For video, the Denon came out on top. See www.hometheaterhifi.com. | |
| Thiel owners, do you use a center channel for HT? I think you have to decide how much you really want the home theater and/or multichannel sound experience. Obviously, quality two channel sound is important to you as you've recently bought good mains. However, there are a only a limited, albeit g... | |
| Cartridge for Rega planar 2 I second the consideration of a Dynevector. I have a 10x4MkII (which has recently been replaced by the 10x5) on my Planar 3. It is a very nice sounding cartridge and can be picked up reasonably. While it is a high output MC, I have used it through... | |
| Advice needed on low volume and hum out of amp. Thanks for the help. The cheater plug helped reduce the hum alot. I still had the other problem and heard a crackle I didn't like. My local dealer was very helpful. He let me bring in the Amp, and he agrees that htere may be a problem, so I'll hav... | |
| Should I buy a Denon 2802 or Harmon Kardon 225? I would think you would be able to get a good closeout price on the Denon, as the 2803 is being introduced at a retail price of $799.00. This unit seems to fit your requirements: It's 80wpc x 7, (7.1) with all the decoding formats. The features ar... | |
| How well does the VPI 16.5 work?? Thanks,4yanx and Rwd. Problem solved. I'm not absolutely sure whether it was a loose hold down nut, or the collet on the vacuum post, but I made doublely sure the nut was tight, and I also made a minute adjustment to the height of the collet on th... | |
| How well does the VPI 16.5 work?? Maybe someone can tell me what's up with my 16.5. After I wet the record,put the vacuum tube facing the spindle, and turn on the vacuum, the tube lowers, but it stops the record from turning. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. | |
| Rega P3 2000: Can the interconnects be upgraded? I have a Planar 3 with an RB300 that has been rewired with Cardas tonearm cable to a box on the rear of the plinth that has female RCA jacks that accepts any interconnect. While I didn't do it, I understand there are some upgrade parts available(c... | |
| Review: Thiel Audio CS-2 Speaker Stempomj- If you're looking for surrounds to match your front Thiels, I'd suggest looking for a pair of CS1.2's. When I moved up to the 2 2's, a year or two ago, I relegated the 1.2's to the back. If your wife can stand another pair of speakers, t... | |
| Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening I'm going through a similar process with my Denon AVR-3300. I similarly wanted a better amp that will be good for music as well. Your Denon should work well as a pre/pro. One amp that may work well for you is made by Classe, and is well regarded f... |
