| HELP Federal Express broke it and WON'T PAY I also had a problem with FedEx non payment for damage. I shipped a Theta Carmen in the original packaging to a buyer. When it arrived, the display would not work. I put in a claim and it was denied because "the packaging was used and would not su... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? Long time great customer service from Mcintosh, Levinson and Proceed - actually the entire Madrigal group. Probably the best packing in the industry from Mcintosh. | |
| CD Player Connected Directly to Amp Check out the Levinson 39. It also has a volume control that operates in the analog domain. In addition, it also offers some limited digital inputs for other devices. I am using a 39 running directly into a Mcintosh MC202 with balanced cables. In ... | |
| What is the best 6 piece sub/sat system under 2k? You might want to check out Aperion Audio. They are a mail order only manufacturer. Their speakers use a new crossover technology that features a DiAural circut. Rave review from some of the more prominant audio publications. Their website is avai... | |
| Paul Klipsch passes away. A true legend. He will be missed by all audiophiles. | |
| Is McIntosh still a good choice? I highly recommend the McIntosh amps, pre-amps and processors. I have been a mac owner for over 15 years and have upgraded when new designe are introduced. The MC 202 and MC 602 amps with autoformers are "tube like" without the heat and stable int... | |

| Stable Platter Transports You may want to look for a Theta Pearl or Jade. I believe they both have the stable platform transport. I have heard the Pearl and it is very musical. The Jade is supposed to be a step up. | |
| Best Packaging in the Business McIntosh without a question. | |

I understand that using a player where the volume adjustment is in the digital domaine will give you a "... | |
| Which integrated amp for Talon Khorus? Rowland Concentra 2 makes a great amp with the Khorus' | |
| Home theater system only plays Pro logic, no digital or DTS Pete:Check to make sure your receiver has the digital input configured for the DVD. On a number of receivers, the digital input can be assigned to different inputs. Made that mistake myself on a parasound 2500u | |
| How big a room needed for Talon Khorus? I currently am using the Khorus' in a 16 X 20 room facing towards the long dimension. The sound is "live" with no coloration of any kind. These speakers recreate the "live music experience" better than any others I have listened to. I have also li... | |
