| Need budget Blu-ray with HDMI + composite outs The SD TV in the bedroom won't benefit from blu-ray because the high definition signal can't be transmitted over composite, and it doesn't sound as if that TV could display the high def signal anyway. I would suggest simply buying a separate inexp... | |
| Lightning Strike power up means nothing and a claims adjuster should know that. Otherwise, the adjuster is trying to rip you off.Why? An insurance adjuster isn't an electician or electrical engineer. In any event, most policies cover the cost to repair or replace,... | |
| How large is your music collection? I own about 1000 CD's and it has taken me more than 20 years to collect that number. I have to really like the artist/album before I will buy it. So, the collection I have is music that I continue to listen to fairly consistently. There's no worse... | |
| Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis I 3rd (or 4th) the Gold Lion Reissues from Jim McShane. I have been using them ever since they came out a few years ago and they are wonderful sounding tubes. I haven't tried the EAT, nor will I. I highly recommend Jim or other vendors that person... | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound The RWA products have a "smart" module that causes the charger to engage when the batteries are drained to a certain level. The concern with SLA batteries is that if you drain them too much at one time they cannot fully recover and it significantl... | |
| Most beneficial change . Ok, you have recommendations to change your speakers, your room, and or your front end. No one's mentioned your amp yet, so I say change that :). I'm sure someone will post shortly suggesting that you change your cables. Of course, there's always ... | |
| how far do you sit from your speakers? Speakers are (approximately) 6.5' apart and I sit 9' to 9.5' feet away. Speakers are slightly toed-in. These are the general paramaters provided by my speakers manufacturer (Merlin). The wall behind me is approx. 10' away. | |
| Modwright Transporter VS Opera Droplet 5.0 CDP. I haven't heard either of these, but the relative bad press Consonance has gotten around here lately in regard to customer service, reliability, etc., would make me lean toward the modwright, which gets almost universally high praise. Of course, t... | |
| Your Favorite Traditional Ballad It's not a good ballad unless someone gets killed, preferably by a jilted lover. Such as, Banks of the Ohio, Down in the Willow Garden, Rain and Snow, Knoxville Girl, Ballad of Omie Wise, etc. | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? Therefore the ACTUAL monetary difference between Joule and Modded Jolida is much narrower they you depicted in your post.Plus, the Joule will hold its value much better. | |
| Looking for the best CD 3-4k Resolution Audio Opus 21 is a popular and well reviewed player in that price range. | |
| What isolation feet to use?? Bright Star Audio Isonodes are very good for the money. However, one word of caution with the Isonodes - and many other "soft" footers, such as vibrapods - is that they may damage furniture finishes in some cases. I have also had good luck with th... | |
| Transporter, Logitech...Why are they so cheap? There is a new Squeezebox "Touch" in the works that will replace the "classic". No dates have been announced that I am aware of, but a Google search will reveal photos of the new touch. Haven't heard anything about a new Transporter, though I woul... | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system It's amazing what small adjustments to your speaker set-up can do to tame brightness. Play around with your toe-in, distance of separation, distance to listening postion, etc. I've also found that titling speakers back (or forward) ever so slightl... | |
