| I need help bad Can I Carver bash?I'm not trying to cause trouble but besides being very loud, they really lack the clarity and detail of many others. I swore by my Carver until I heard others. Bob Carver got it right with the Sunfires though. Get my hint... | |
| Stainless Steel columns for speaker stands Do you know how expensive the stainless will be? Outrageous for custom stainless. Get aluminum sheets, wrap it yourself and seal it in the back or have a local metal shop wrap the wood for you. They may even have a better idea. | |
| Denon 2910 SACD questions Using the 5.1 outputs for 2 channel will work fine (just R&L). The set up button on the front of the unit is selectable from 2 channel sacd and multi sacd. You can switch on the fly but it will start the cd over again. Not a clue on the 480? | |

| Need set up help with Denon AVR 4802R You can assign the last 2 channels to zone 2. You will need at a minimum, a volume control in the other room. Best would be a volume control and a remote eye. This can all be done via a single run of Cat 5 wire. I like the volume with remote built... | |

| Maple Shade Recordings? They are exceptionally clean.However, I find that too many of the artists are unknown.Also, Mapleshade's recordings tend to be extremely clean, almost sterile. It's worth buying a couple to check out. | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Holly Cole is my favorite.Have you tried Nina Simone or Ricky Lee Jones? | |
| Who has the oldest bottle of Stylast? Mine is from the mid 80's. Also have record cleaner from same vintage.Do they gain value with age? Can I sell them for $200? | |
| What is more important source or preamp? According to the founder of Linn, no matter what you do with your system, if your cartridge stinks, nothing else matters... | |
| which preamp to buy??? I'd take a 2c over a 3b. Either way, keep tubes and upgrades in mind. | |
| what has a Thiel soundstage, but more sensitivity? I scrapped my 1.2's in favor of Coincidents. Very similar sound and much easier to drive. | |
| Question on DACs........... Find audiogon member grimmace.His experience with the 840 is great. I would trust him when he tells you to skip the naim. |
