| Budget system for Rock and dance Music? Does your luxman have B outputs? A pair of Klipsch Heresey or even bigger will fit the bill. | |
| Are all external hard drives the same? There's limits on the voltage output on most usb's. Too big of a drive may not power up correctly. Get a usb powered drive with the option for a wall wart.Also, with my oppo, the menu isn't so great. Again, too much on one drive could get difficult. | |
| network storage servers I just learned the hard way: I ripped about 500 cd's to WMA and then switched DAC's. My new DAC won't read them. Conversion is a pain in the ____ but Format Factory does a good job.Burn them right the first time. WAV seems to be best. | |
| Best phono preamp under $250 The Cambridge 640 did it for me. Way better than the 540. You really have to jump up in price to see more of a difference. | |
| Ayon Spirit III - switching 2 broken tubes The unit should be looked at by a tech. Too often something has blown and will cook a brand new set of tubes. It's well worth the $60 for a tech to look at it. | |
| SACD-R Paul McGowan was just writing on this in his posts in PS Audio. SACD is a rare animal and Sony has done everything in their power to protect it.I do have & like SACD's. However, the effort you are talking about with SACD-R just isn't worth it.... | |
| bella extreme 3205 tubes If you have 1000 hours on the amp, the degradation of sound is only due to the output tubes. 12 series tubes easily last 5000 hours and can go up to 10,000 hours. Output tubes will show wear at 1000 hours.My advice, replace the outputs only and se... | |
| Looking for suggestions on a used Oppo I just replaced my DVD-2200 with an Oppo 103 this week. Your 2910 will probably beat the old Oppo's for pure 2 channel. Most Oppo's are known for their video unless you get into the 83SE or the 95 for $1000. My new 103 has nice quality audio for $... | |
| Using TV as Audio Hub? Consider running a key or several pieces from the tv and also directly to your new Peachtree. That way, you have the convenience of everyone using the stereo controlled by the tv and when you feel critical, you can avoid the tv connection muddling... | |
| Looking for hi value CD/SACD player... I was looking at the Oppo until I found the Cambridge 751. It is essentially the same as the oppo for video but much upgraded on the audio side. I really like being able to plug a hard drive into the oppor or cambridge to avoid changing discs. For... | |
| Amp output to 2 speakers I would try using just one speaker first. It just might sound better...Otherwise, do some homework on wiring in series or parallel. | |
| Whats the best vintage Yamaha amp to invest in? the old M series were class A rated and amazing. The one with the meters was the m-80. What a monster, it would power up to 3 pairs of almost anything. The 35, 60 & 70 are great too with the matching pre-amps. They compare to threshold in soun... | |
| Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ? You do know that there is about a 200 hour break-in period. Put them on for a weekend and go out of town. Just don't piss off the neighbors... | |
| Reciver/Integrated same sound? Only the company can tell you that. Usually the more you stuff into one box, the more compromises have to be made...Price can tell you a lot. | |
| isolation for built in stereo cabinets i'm plannin The isoblocks that Mapleshade sells can be bought in large sheets. My HVAC technician puts it under A/C units to limit vibrations. |
