| Center speaker for Carver ALIII + speakers The best you can do is put a DIY ribbon speaker in the center? Talk to the guys at speakercity.com or madisound.Laying an ALIII on its side would be absurd to say the least? | |
| Speaker Hum through Krell 400xi/Yamaha RX-V2700 You will get better sound if you can use the Krell to feed the Yamaha through the tape loop? Eliminating any Yamaha electronics from the Krell is a huge plus! | |
| Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? You did the right thing. Did you try insurance from the shipper? They might cover it.I actually sold a cd player once and the repair was more than it was worth. I refunded the entire amount and let the buyer keep it (not worth shipping back). | |
| Two sources, one sub - can I use Y-cable I agree with Shadorne. Don't do it. You can buy a simple switch box if need be. | |
| Looking to upgrade Even an Adcom ACE series for $100 bucks is better than just having a surge protector. Rotel, richard gray and others make nice ones too. I don't care for monster. | |
| Going into the dark side.....please help Music Hall Trio and Arcam Solo are awesome. All in one units with great sound and quality. These are cd only systems. You will still need a dvd player. You could go to the Arcam Solo Movie if you want dvd built in.Both units have sub out. The arca... | |
| Looking to upgrade Nice system. However, DPL II and newer DAC's will make a nice difference. To improve upon sound, you will either need a pricey receiver or go to seperates. The other option is to get a nice DVD like the arcam suggested above and let it do all of t... | |
| Is There Greener Grass For Me? The tuner doesn't really get in the way in most units. So, internally a pre/pro/amp won't be much different than a receiver. TIC's suggestion of the Arcam is great. It and the B&K 507 are way beyond most of the average receivers.If you are usi... | |
| Converting tapes to digital I just saw a cassette to digital player in a catalogue I got. Can't remember who (crutchfiel, audio advisor or one of the computer warehouses).It was $149, plugs into a usb on your pc, does auto reverse, and can convert to mp3. Look around, you'll... | |
| On-board subwoofer amps - limited shelf life ? Cheap replacement amps: mcmelctronics.com or partsexpress.com | |
| Is There Greener Grass For Me? The research is part of the fun...Don't shy away from 7.1. Even if you don't intend to use it, most units have it available. To avoid 7.1 would stick you with a unit 5+ years old in most cases. The newer DAC's plus DPLII make it worth getting newe... | |
| Do I go vintage or newer? I love SOTA!My jewel with a Jelco arm and goldring cartridge are awesome. I don't know why resale on turntables is so poor compared to other audio gear. Not much to go wrong with a Sota table except maybe a belt for $12. You can easily get a $2500... | |
| Humming sub. Make sure the cables don't cross over anything else.Try plugging the amp into a different outlet? Mine really likes a line conditioner.Definitely try different interconnects/cables. Move the sub closer if you have to just to try different cables.M... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms A 4 ohm speaker rated at 92db? Quite unusual. Lower impedance speakers are almost always much less efficient. Just a thought... | |
| Humming sub. Mine has a tiny bit of hum. However, once there is a signal into it, the hum disappears. Check your cabling to the sub. It is picky about interconnects and speaker wire. The amp may be causing the hum if too close to the sub? Isolate the amp from ... |
