| Fedex minimum insurance for special handling FWIW - Just received a heavy tube amp that was palletized by Pilot Air. No problems and I picked it up at their terminal in Denver to cut down costs. Expense was same as Fed Ex ground quote. | |
| XLR to RCA adaptors I've also used Cardas adapters with good results and no noticeable degradation in sonics. | |
| Review: Valve Amplification Company Phi 300 Tube amp Just got a 2nd 300.1, and am monoblocking them to drive VR-7SE's to new, uncharted sonic nirvana. The sound is just amazing - the 7's are really opening up now, especially the 10" bass drivers. I can truly appreciate my system as its "potential" i... | |
| Sony Blue Ray: S5000es vs S2000es Thanks for the responses so far. Just talked to Sony and they are sending me a firmware update disc to take the player from Version 3.0 to the current 4.3. Hopefully this will fix my frustrations.Mribob- Do you have a feel for what your load and s... | |
| Has anyone any experience with Elrods? There are a number of threads on Elrod cables here. Try doing a search. | |
| Any HDMI recommendations? Wireworld Silver Starlite 5.2. I have 4 in 2 systems with great results. They come in various lengths. | |
| Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ?? I've had both these cords. I agree w/Ozzy on the SRs - instead I would try to find a used Elrod Statement for your system. You will be amazed at how much it will elevate your sonics. I haven't heard David E's new cords, but from looking at his web... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far I will echo terrible sonics on Springsteen's latest CD. Big letdown. | |
| Does power conditioning really matter? I started with a MOnster AVS 2000 which I got for a "song" (since they are ridiculously overpriced) and it was adequate untilmy system got better. Though frequent experimentation and demos, I ended up with a BPT 3.5 Signature Plus about 4 years ag... | |
| Fedex minimum insurance for special handling I fought with Fedex ground for 6 months before they finally reimbursed me for what I had to pay in order to have their damage fixed. I was transferred among and between 3 different regions with the hope that I would eventually give up. I did not g... | |
| Fedex minimum insurance for special handling I've also found out the hard way that the best way to ship anything of weight and value, is to make sure its palletized and use a freight company. No matter what they say or what you pay, FEdEx, UPS and USPS seem to bounce things, if they can. In ... | |
| Listening to DTS-HD & TrueHD with only 2 Speakers? I agree with Kal, having gone through this. I then picked up an Integra 9.8 processor (HDMI ins and outs) to go with my Sony blue-ray player. With 5 speakers and after some initial configuration issues, I've gotten much better sound than I would h... | |
| Velodyne vs JL Audio DD1812 vs G213 vs DD18 vsF113 In doing the Velo/JL comparison, it should be noted that the Digital Drive Velos come with a pretty full-function remote (which is VERY handy), while the JLs do not. They also allow equalization of 8 bands, while the JLs do not. | |
| Vac Renaissance Signature Mark II vs. Cary SLP-05 Do you have the Renaissance SIGNATURE Mk II, where the power supply has 2 dials on it and is the same size as the preamp itself? If so, 1) The new REn Mk 3 is NOT an upgrade and 2) You already have 1 of the best phono stages around in the VAC. You... | |
| Considering new amp - Mccormack DNA-500 would be my choice. I have 1 that has been replaced by tubes, but I'm keeping it. Best bang for the buck at around your price range, used, that I've found. Steve McC would be the 1 to talk to and I would also check out the thread referred ... |
