| Esoteric DV-50 'S' Upgrade Thanks Kenny for your response. I'll call Teac up and schedule mine to be upgraded and order up a cable. I use the Sony 50" dlp, and it's HD picture quality is supposed to be dramatically better than it's analog quality. It's certainly worth 500 t... | |
| DLP vs Plasma/LCD Toss in one more vote for the Sony 50" DLP. For under 3k I got a great looking screen that weighs less than 100 pounds and provides plenty of visual impact for my small theater. The plasmas are sexy as all get out - but the 5k difference in price ... | |
| Speaker choices, $1000-2000 Smooth & Musical Semething to consider is the Linn Ninkas. They are 2k new, used they seem to be fairly rare, but you might get lucky. Very smooth and easy to listen to - very good for the money. They respond really well to bi-wiring/bi-amping; even with non-linn ... | |
| Bed room systems? I also love having a system in my bedroom. I had a dresser, about 5' wide and maybe 18" deep to work with. I couldn't hang speakers or run cables all over the place - the whole thing had to fit on this one piece of cherry realestate. Here's what I... | |
| Aerial Acoustic Model 7Bs vs. Model 9s? Thanks for all of your remarks: I will arrange to audition the 8s and do some more research on them. They might be just the fill-in between the 7Bs and the 9s. Maybe a second mortgage the the 20Ts would be a better thing?Anyone out there using the... | |
| Aerial Acoustic Model 7Bs vs. Model 9s? Thanks for your comments on the Model 8. Frankly I looked at those, but have not yet listened to them because of two reasons: 1) the dealer said they are primarily designed for theater systems, and 2) they are not offered in a maple finish to matc... | |
| Aerial Acoustic Model 7Bs vs. Model 9s? Thanks for the midnight reply - the room is roughly 16 x 14 with an 8 foot ceiling. The system is setup centered on the long wall and the seating position is floated in the room allowing for a wall of floor to ceiling bookcases and a walkway behin... | |
| Opinions on Linn Unidisk I also auditioned the Linn Unidisk 1.1 vs. the Esoteric DV-50 and the Krell SACD Standard (and a half dozen others, to boot). I found the Linn to be a bit finicky on what you fed it, and to take a LONG time to startup on some disk formats, or when... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod The Krell SACD Standard vs. Esoteric DV-50 competition was so difficult to resolve - that I ended up purchasing both of them. The Krell SACD Standard feeds my primary two channel system; and is an absolute delight. I love what it does for SACDs an... | |
| Shanling CDT-100 Great or Bad ? I will also toss in my vote for the Shanling equipment. I must admit that I purchased my cdt-100 in large part because of how incredible it looks. I have lived with it now for several months and enjoy it thoroughly. Bang for the buck, it has all t... |
