Changed circ.breaker-vocals became shouty:why?
You can't just swap a 15 amp breaker with a 30 amp. It takes special wire and outlet plugs for 30 amps. If you have a short you could burn the apartment down.With that said, there is a break in period of 2 weeks on a breaker but the difference you... 
marantz 9600
Hello, I am a Marantz dealer and I also sell Elite, Integra, Sony ES, B & K, and Rotel in receivers and my only opinion we share with all our customers is that no one should buy a receiver in that price range when you can spend a little more t... 
Sub Upgrade for Music and Home Theatre
The Aerial is VERY good and has great looks as well. The xover built in is very flexable and you can run a sub level in at the same time as a main front in so you can calibrate for both theater and music a little like REL does. The Velodyne is jus... 
simple HDTV question.
Hello again,Each component has seperate Digital audio out and L+R audio out. 
Opinions on this plan....
I am no help but I had to tell you that Berning is awsome. I was tempted to tell you to get a used 2100 amp and that way you would have a smooth amp that did rock. LOL If you have not had a mod done on yours, try teflon caps. Makes a world of diff... 
JVC RX-202b - USB digital amp section receiver.
Hello again. Stick with what you know. If you need to stay with the JVC try a pair of Paradigm Titans. They are soft at the top end and help the JVC sound more musical. You also can't go wrong with smaller DCM's or PSB's. The DCM's will rock hard ... 
Preamp DAC option.
Hello again. I agree the VTL is great and the 2.5 is amazing at the price and the fact that it has remote volume. VTL service is awsome. Luke is much better than is dad. 
Preamp DAC option.
Hello again. The CJ is not bad at all but tends to have a sound all it's own that can be overly intusive once you get tired of it. I will say that Bill Conrad is a very honest buisness man and you will find long term service if you buy it. The oth... 
Help needed with defective Proceed PMDT
Hello again. Have you tried contacting Arcam or Linn as both are very good transport design companies in Europe amd may have people they know or could recomend? 
Help needed with defective Proceed PMDT
There have been a lot of problems with that player in general and they are not related to the Pioneer drive as Pioneers are far more reliable. Most of the problems have been software related but yours dose sound mechanical It may be worth sending ... 
Klipsch Academy and other HT concerns
Hello. There is way to much to respond too so I first suggest finding a really good high end store to learn from and take their advice but let me throw some quick info.1. Horns are just the flange on the compression driver so you have a 3 way.2. N... 
Preamp DAC option.
Hello again. You do not want to do the Bryston with that system. Everything you have put together has a metalic glare in the top end that causes everything to have way to much sparkle. You need to find a tube pre-amp and don't worry about the D/A ... 
simple HDTV question.
Hello again. You have a fixed pixel TV so I would do DVI or HDMI like the others have said and you have one of the best plasmas on the market. I will repeat however for the others who have writen that if you have a CRT HDTV direct view or projecto... 
Totem Forest vs Proac Response D15 vs Spendor s8e
All 3 speaker are very good and will be a good match with your system. I think the Totems have more warmth in the bass if you like s rich and musical sound. The Totems will also win if you have to set the speakers a little too close to each other ... 
A good amp to drive my B&W Matrix 800's
I am a B&W dealer and you have to be carefull as the tweeter can bite with the wrong amp. I don't think the Krell is a good match. The bel is good, but if you can find one, the best amp I have ever heard on B&W's is the Essence Saphire or ...
