| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System ericsch I would never use AV receiver for a dedicated 2 channel music system.But, starting with a Video System, and also wanting 2 channel stereo music from it can be done, and your original question indicates how confusing it can be. Let’s not f... | |
| Valve Amplification Company (VAC) "Vintage" preamplifier MKIII: how does it sound? I never saw or heard VAC equipment.tubes, remote control, looks like a very full featured versatile unit. phono stage was optional, included? how configured: MM or MC? IF no phono, can you get it added? If not you get separate phono unit.oem pdfht... | |
| Router extender. my wife’s phone's wifi would not work all the way to verizon’s primary router. I ran ethernet cable as far as was easy to a switch: 4 ports and dual wireless antenna. great signal strength for tablet, laptop, phone wifi. | |
| Router extender. can you put that app on a tablet or laptop and use it/leave it on the porch? | |
| Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why? I favor a pair of front firing subs located adjacent to the main l/r to create and preserve stereo imaging.Low bass and the overtones of that low bass is directional, so you get stereo bass working with the imaging and phantom center channel creat... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. It’s not just inspecting/cleaning them, it is how you get em also. Sometimes I’m careful, sometimes not so much. I’m a listener, not a collector, and never spend a lot individually for used. Buying on Discogs, unseen, I sort by condition, buy new,... | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System You use 2 channel stereo mode, not mono. The center channel is not active when you change your DVR to 2 channel, which often sounds better. You want to create imaging which mono cannot do. Solve your 2 channel stereo front sound now, but think now... | |
| Is this an Upgrade or a Lateral Move? I am very sorry to hear of your loss, I wish you and the rest of your family the best dealing with it. | |
| What to upgrade next. 1st, Others here know about quality streaming, I haven’t a clue. 2nd, SignalNo matter what you change/add, you already know you need to solve your signal. Is your internet erratic due to your location, or can you upgrade to FIOS? Are you using wir... | |
| Just spoke to an old client of mine..........Avantgarde owner I agree, your room, and your future room when you move (a few times perhaps), can be different, even hugely different than when successfully auditioned elsewhere and purchased. Or, bought based on high consensus of reviews/owners.They may not seam... | |
| Potential Sound Quality From 1950’s Microgroove I think improvement for mono can be achieved, but subtle. LP's with grooves compatible for advanced stylus shape would benefit from change from spherical or elliptical. Most flexible would be a MM mono body with various stylus options you can swap... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. I have 2500lps, a great many my old ones, old ones given to me by friends (old dogs buying in the 60’s, 70’s, early 80’s, until CD became affordable). Many new I bought when CD’s drove LP prices down, primarily high end classical issues, newly dis... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? It should be fun revisiting this one year from now!!!I’m essentially ’done’.Speakers: Vintage from 1958: 15" woofers (re-coned), horn mids and highs, new rosewood enclosures. Spare drivers for next generation’s use.everything goes thru Chase RLC-1... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? If I had not already changed mine earlier this year, this would have been a very in-expensive jump into multi-arm and long arm world. The Denon 3000 is a darn good spinner, direct drive, but not quartz locked. It could easily be swapped for a Deno... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? I would be quite satisfied with your system and personally would not chase ’improvements’. IF you are tempted, especially if you play both mono and stereo lps, and go back and forth in the same listening session as I often do (or would like to), a... |
