| Vienna Acoustics sounded terrible at Magnolia The average buyer buys by reputation and brand recognition...which is why I suspect that BOSE does so well (I can't think of any other reason). I guess some buyers buy because of the salesman's recommendation which is scary at Magnolia. The other ... | |
| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? A B&K ST140 (or other B&K amplifier) would be a terrific match...and you could run a cable between line out and your amp and control things with your computer. | |
| Is new better than old? I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy new speakers given the bargains out there. One of the nice advantages of buying used is that when you decide you don't like them, you can sell them for what you paid. Yes, you do have potential problems... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? First, I have loaned money to Emotiva..if it doesn't work the way I want in the final release, I can return it for full money back (30 days from when the software is final).There are many companies who have used "early announcements" to hold poten... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Wow! You must have a bone to pick with Emotiva. I have little interest in HDMI 1.4...in fact 1.3 is one of the worst standards because devices just don't work well together due to the looseness of the standard. I'll be happy with 1.3 working (and ... | |

| Speaker wire for be-718 start with 12 gauge speaker wire from home depot. Use that as a base as you try multi hundred dollar solutions....which will color the sound.I am sure you will wind up with $1000 cables, but while the sound may be different, it may not actually be... | |
| Adcom GFA-555 fuse stuck Good suggestion...just be very careful not to get the glue/contact cement you use on the outer ring.Alternatively, instead of cutting a slot for a screwdriver in a plastic disk, you might use a plastic cylinder about 1/2-3/4" long and the right di... | |
| Adcom GFA-555 fuse stuck It's hard to tell what's wrong from your description...a picture certainly would help. I'm sure a call to Adcom would either turn up the fuse holder part...or a suggestion on what to get. Most fuse holders use the same size hole, so if you don't c... | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? my first serious system was a Mcintosh C26 and 2505 driving AR3a speakers and a dual 1219...Circa 1968. I still have, and use, everything but the 1219. For classical music/acoustic guitar type music, I prefer that system to my home theater NHT 2.9... | |
| Preamp predicament I think I'd work on the speakers before I worried too much about a preamp. The super zero's are ok, but the low end isn't there and your yamaha Sub really isn't up to the task of even keeping up with the super zeros. | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? an even more interesting poll might be: how much money have you spent on this hobby? | |
| Oxidation, how to prevent? Let me introduce you to Caig Deoxit which I've used for years in my sound studio and with my sound gear: http://www.caig.com/Clean all of your contacts as often as needed....or at least once a year.I wouldn't worry too much about the external case... |
