| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I own the Helicon 400s, the C-200 center and the W-200 speakers, previously using the full set in my main HT system. But I seldom use that system if it's just me watching, so I felt like the 400s would be better used in a 2-channel system. The Hel... | |
| Be Careful With UPS! I quit requesting signature-required delivery when I retired a few years ago, since it is easy to be at home when delivery is scheduled. I may be biased, but FedEx appears to have a much better error-rate on their deliveries.....can't ever recall ... | |
| Anyone Remeber CMC Stereo? You had to ask that, which made me remember that the 1976 catalog had a listing of all of their stores and the states they were located in. No wonder very few have heard of them....they only had maybe 35 - 40 stores, mostly concentrated in five mi... | |
| 1990 Radio Shack catalog I still have and use a digital clock with a fairly large red display in my living room, bought from RS in the late 80s or maybe early 90s, and I have a smaller version that sits atop the AVR in one of my AV systems. A pair of the nicer (made in J... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? I bought my town-home in 2005 mainly because it is built on a slab and my 3 Thorens turntables no longer shake, rattle, and roll like they did before. Makes listening to vinyl a lot more pleasurable....no need to tip-toe through the tulips anymore... | |
| Time To Simplify? Just saw the thread from April 27 addressing this issue (missed it on first go-round) so my questions were answered. I will definitely need to hook up that 2-channel amp to the Parasound 2100. | |
| Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport? Just as a follow-up to my previous post (and because I forgot a great example due to my advancing age), I was so pleased several years back when I went down the road you're contemplating, I decided to go whole-hog (on a financially small scale). I... | |
| Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport? If you're looking for cheap outlay with maximum sonic return, almost any single-play player with a digital output paired with an outboard semi-vintage DAC will work well. I am partial to the MSB DACs from the mid-to-late 90s because of their tank-... | |
| Beatles CD box set Second the votes on the Mono Box Set - I bought this when it came out and have been more than happy with it. It covers just about their whole catalog and is a joy to listen to. | |
| When Will We Learn? I will ask the seller to consider some small adjustment, because the value of the speaker has dropped by at least half due to the damage (if I were to try to resell it). BTW, the cabinet is made of thick MDF and covered in a matte cherry veneer, v... | |
| When Will We Learn? I will try to post photo once I figure out the procedure to do that. The pic I took makes the damage look worse than it actually appears (but any damage is not good). | |
| When Will We Learn? LOL, I am such a fussbudget when it comes to my stereo gear....the damage is not so bad as to be visible from the front, unless you're close. The main damage is to the bottom of the corner, and I've decided to let sleeping dogs lie. Thanks for the... | |
| When Will We Learn? I usually only buy through Audiogon, TMR, USAM and have had very good results, with only a couple of disappointments on shipping issues. I am transitioning from a full suite of Dali Helicons in my main A/V system to Aperion Audio speakers. I found... | |
| Pee Wee Herman has passed away I must be psychic (maybe psychotic?), but I pulled Pee Wee's Big Adventure DVD out of my stack two weeks ago to watch it for the first time in probably 10 years. It still maintained the charming qualities that made it a hit originally, which is no... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts Content providers basically care about only one thing - their bottom line and how to increase it. The quality of the video and audio of that content is a distant second, or maybe even third. Usually, a disc's maximum retail value is its price when... |
