| I need top quality banana plugs. BTW: These will work with existing spades, so you don't have to destroy your factory terminated ends. I've also purchased some that you can use a set-screw to secure the cable within a barrel. If silver is a necessity, I would suggest soldering th... | |
| I need top quality banana plugs. I've got locking bananas from Monster Cable and Esoteric Audio. In fact, the Esoteric Audio are brand new. NOT silver. Gold plated. Yours for a song.David. | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Jeff,I'm using the 3.3's myself, often for long periods. Bi-amping does more for these speakers than any I have owned. I can't express the difference in words. SPL is one issue relative to power output. But along with power, comes CONTROL of the d... | |
| I Need to Mount Amps ON WALL+++ I'm a steel fabricator by trade. I can build anything for a price. I've built brackets to suspend NHT 2.5i's from the walls. All my own speaker stands and audio racks over the years. Sounds like a simple shelf to me. Send me some dimensions (inclu... | |
| What do your kids see? My second born son, now 6, loves the home theater rig, and rarely touches components. Due to the difficulty of a (multi-component, multi-format, multi-function) system that even boggles me sometimes when the remote gets stabbed at blindly in the d... | |
| And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas? No wife, so I had to pick up a new digital camera for the girlfriend ($300)and a 34" Toshiba widescreen (direct view, flatscreen)($1800)for the bedroom.Mom got a cellphone. Mom still listens to 8-track tapes, and has an analog answering machine, s... | |
| what is the meaning of this??? That should have read "skin and fur". You need the fat for flavor...dl | |
| what is the meaning of this??? "Fleshed out" is a term used by a hunter (or trapper), when the skin and fat are removed from a carcass. In this instance, I would expect it to be used in reference to "getting to the meat". The meat being the music, as opposed to hearing the elec... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? Fortunately, I have never had one of "those" evenings. Although if you were just a casual listener, rather than an enthusiastic one, the system might just sound fine for a few more years.... Which predicament is worse?David. | |
| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box The older Celestion models... Ditton 100's sound great. And the models from the late 80's- early 90's perform well, and play much larger than they appear. Celestion 3, if I recall sounded good, with LF extension beyond belief. Look into the Canton... | |
| Used Pre-amp with HT pass-thru I used the BAT VK-3i for a short period of time. It has a "unity gain" stage which effectively nulls the effect of the volume control. EXCELLENT sonics for music, and performed very well for HT as well. These can be had for $1000- $1300 here and o... | |
| CD vs LP - Who cares when it's a crappy recording? Gthrush1----Please direct me to a "fantastic recording" in the MP3 lossy compression format. I'll admit, I downloaded ONE song, directly from the legitimate record company's website. THAT was enough to convince me that it is NOT a valid audiophile... | |
| Downgrading Help I'd be interested in buying the BAT... But it'll have to wait 'til the dust settles after Christmas. Hard time to sell equipment, OR justify new purchases during gift-buying season...Glad to hear a report on the Philips unit. I've been wondering a... | |
| Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD? Hmmm....A 36 dB increase from what level? There's gotta be a reference point somewhere, right? And the frequency(ies) of attenuation might be better info to provide also.But quick advice would be to check the disc vs. another. I'm sure SOMEBODY el... | |
| cd skips due to sub woofer Try isolating the subwoofer from the floor, and maybe sound absorbtion on the rack side which is facing the sub. I've had a similar issue. My sub(s) are on the opposite end of the same wall as the system, and at extreme SPL's, the CDP would occasi... |
