| digital optical interlink vs. coaxial Use the Optical if your video system is inducing a ground loop hum, AT&T has the most bandwidth, followed by Coax, and then lastly Toslink. I found that toslink is vastly lacking in quality compared to coax/AT&T. | |
| Carada 120" Screen& Sony VPL-HS20 Nice review... Carada responded quickly and friendly to my friend also and these screens are quite a bargain for a large bordered screen. You have to spend 3-4x the price to get better screen (Vultec Silver Star (depending on your projector, and s... | |

| Audio Research D240MKII or ARC D130 The D400 especially the MkII model is amazing if you make that price jump | |
| Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New? The Placette Active is truely an increadible piece, it is only single ended, unless you get a custom balanced version. It transformed my system, and I wish I hadn't sold it to go tube. I would also consider the Rowland Synergy IIi, which I also te... | |

| Coherence II: balanced or single-ended? All the Rowland products are True Differential Balanced not just taking the extra balanced pin and grounding it to the Chassis like almost every other balance piece of equipment.If you purchased a Rowland amp or a truely balanced amplifier you mig... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs WATT/Puppy 7 The current WP7's don't drop below 3.6ohm either anywhere in the curve (European Review showed that spec) and are amazingly efficient! Also if you wish to drive them with a tube amp, you just change out the included rear ports as documented in the... | |
| Vanderteen 5A's versus Wilson WattPuppy 7's I preferred the precision of seeing into the music and the amazing soundstage that WP7's present versus the muddy "emotional" (I had a drink already) Vandy's. The crossover to the sub in the vandy was a hometheater experience for me.. and was impo... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or WATT?Puppy 7 If you want Krell, amps don't buy the Wilsons. It's a harsh combination. I've heard both and I bought WP7's. If your a bass volume freak, get the Vandersteen 5a because of the powered bass. You also won't have to spend as much in electronics as th... | |
| CJ Premier 14 vs ARC Reference I am waiting to get my Premier 14 back from CJ from being repaired. The CJ will have a little more tube bloom, the ARC will be like Solid State without the edge. Both are excellent, the CJ MK16 II might be a better comparison and looses some of th... | |
| Meridian 508.20 Drawer Noise I had this problem on my Sonic Frontiers Transport and the when I called their support he told me the steps to put some special lube on a single pulley (saying that the petroluem based lubricant had just dried out...) it took like 5 minutes to do ... | |
| Next Step Up from Adcom GFP-750 Preamp? I can personally say that the step up to the Placette Active was a huge one (larger more precise soundstage) Detail in spades without being harsh.... precision volume control!If you were going pass you need to really go up to the Pass X1 instead o... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Power 3 V.S. MIT Z cord II??? The MIT Z Cord II's in my system (I owned 5 of them) didn't make an audible difference in my system.. When I went to Electraglide cables the difference was huge.. so I would look elsewhere. I still believe in MIT cables (on my video system) but pr... | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? bigtee brought up an excellent point about the AI products I owned a L1 for quite some time excellent piece without the CJ bloom , no phono but a single volume control and no remote. the 3 and 3a both have two volume knobs for each channel which p... |
