| UPGRADE CDP NEED YOUR HELP What about upgrading your 25.2 from Partsconnexion or Underwood? It really makes a huge difference. I had it done and the new unit sounds nothing like the old one, cleaner, quieter, amazing silence when there should be, a little more warmth, depth... | |
| Advice on upgrade of a 2.1 audio setup Look into Music Hall Raven and Mambo. The Raven has a tuner built in and is 100 watts. The Mambo is tuner-less but has 50 watts of nice warm class A power. Both have awesome built in DAC's with upsampling and pre-amp outs for a sub. Just run your ... | |
| Any experienced Projector users? 1-The rear projector may be nice but, how will you get it down the basement stairs?2-My NEC is 2000 lumens and still doesn't look nearly as good with any lights on. One 40 watt light cuts the quality a lot.3-Don't skimp on the screen. A higher gai... | |
| Any experienced Projector users? Davemitchell is right! If you can splurge for the DLP over an LCD, do it. My brother's DLP crushed my LCD (he had the same LCD). I have an NEC 440 that is not bad either.Keep in mind that most have cooling fans that you can hear. If you can mount ... | |
| Best used DVD Player...Not interested in Blue R... Denon 2200, 2900 or similar models. Amazing sound & picture, will play almost anything. | |
| Nikko Alpha 130/Beta 30 with Cerwin Vega Towers Personally, I'd look for old Adcom or NAD. They are a little heftier when it comes to output. | |
| Electrolytic capacitors Get the seller to power it up for 24 hours. If they want to pay to have it done on a variac, great. If they want to gamble, that's on them too. | |
| Nikko Alpha 130/Beta 30 with Cerwin Vega Towers Keep in mind that even to notice a volume difference, you need to double the power (3db gain). So, if a 100 watt receiver didn't do it, 200 watts won't get too much more? Stick with what you have and invest in a Cerwin Vega powered sub. You need 1... | |
| speakers for old yamah mixer Craigslist.comBuy something of the same vintage as long as the surrounds around the woofers are good, Infinity, Avid, Bose, JBL...all for about $50-$100. | |
| Tube amps and power consumption Tube amps and Class A rated amps definitely consume more power. You get what you pay for... I'll take a 300 watt consuming Jadis over a 70 watts consumption Technics any day. Also, keep in mind that you don't want to leave a tube amp on all of the... | |
| Room size for Cornwalls? Cornwalls don't really like to be put in a corner. I liked mine at least 3 feet from any wall. I'd say the smallest room they were goo in was 12 x 18. Onhwy said Hereseys, I agree. They will sound almost the same but need less space. Just small st... | |

| Burning cd's for my modestly high-end system... Are you downloading compressed music? Most of Limewire is mp3. That's this biggest problem I see. | |
| 'best' surge protection? I have whole house surge also. It will only stop the really big stuff (lightning...). However, it will keep you from frying smaller surge protectors around the house since they only have to stop the small stuff. I have small surge protectors every... | |
| Enough Juice Depends on how loud and how much bass you want. To hear a difference, you'll have to go a minimum of 120 watts for just a 3db increase or about 225-240 watts to get a 50% volume increase. |
