| High end processors with HDMI 1.3a Tdbdds: before you jump on the Integra/onkyo you should read about the problems on avsforum... there are audio drop outs and delays from the HDMI offconvert... service/support have required sending the unit back to be upgraded... I was all set to ... | |
| Recommendations on Wall Mount HT Speakers I have the top of the line Niles inwall speakers which sound pretty amazing for the money and you can see pictures of them in my system thread. For an on-wall the Vandersteen's are extremely dynamic. | |

| PS Audio Power Plant or Power Plant Premier Get some dedicated 20 amp circuits and try again, this will be the biggest upgrade you can do for little money comparitively. The newer PS audio doesn't regenerate the whole AC sine curve like the older units hence they can power more watts and do... | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp A_hayman: You should contact Rowland about your concern but my understanding of the amplifiers operation: They remain in standby consuming 7watts, they are waiting to get a active input from the preamp (when you turn on the preamp and present a si... | |
| VTL 5.5 VS CJ Premier 17 I have tried a Calypso also (two of my friends have them) and tube rolling (except the latest tubes Jim has sound great) is a requirement. Plus one of my friends had your CJ 2500A amp (with a transformer humm that CJ would fix saying they all do t... | |
| VTL 5.5 VS CJ Premier 17 Yeah the CJ Premier 14 is a very warm preamp with the traditional CJ Premier 11/12 sound of the EL34's... The Resister volume control is physically really loud and it doesn't provide a wide range of increments. The newer CJ gear is more transparen... | |
| VTL 5.5 VS CJ Premier 17 If you are thinking of going with Vinyl, you can get a the VTL 5.5 with an execellent MM, or mid-high output MC phonostage which will save you the cost of a set of interconnects, powercable, and rack space. This can be added later by VTL I believe... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Marcmen: You should state that you are a dealer/distributor of the Qsonix product since you have them refurbished/show demos for sale/auction right now. | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Tigerwoodkhorns: I think people recommend the rewire if you don't have the M5G version which has the better cabling (which is what I had). I can't speak for how it sounds with the stock wiring for the other versions. I think the fluid damper shoul... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Drubin: First off THE SL1200's are a bargain and provide a base unit that can be upgraded to pretty stellar results. I intend to buy another SL1200 and mod everything on it and it will still cost less than getting a second tonearm on a high end ta... | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning Rfogel8: I agree the prices are nuts now, the Clearaudio's don't have as big of a static problem because of the vaccuum pad is microfiber instead of the felt on the VPI. I keep mentioning the static issue because it was a HUGE problem for me at my... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion The Shelter 501 Mk 2 works without the fluid damper but you owe it to yourself to put the fluid damper on as it provides the biggest improvement in the arm. I ran the Shelter without but after hearing my old table with the fluid damper on I probab... | |
