What material is based below a down firing sub?
Hey ... that sub idea worked great. Thanks guys - It made a significant difference and I'm warming up to my "new" speaker system. It ended up in a strange place but I'm not fighting with logic.TE- The 470's are pretty incredible ... I have a frien...

Hey Scott,The Audio Pimp had a Theta Data basic II (3-10) posted for under $600 and I have heard a lot of good things about the Bel Canto DAC2 ... ($650-800)Thats well within your budget and leaves some money for a good cable ... I have heard and ... 
Please Help
Scott.I asked the similar question about 3 months ago and got so many responses it took some time to work through them all. The funny thing is I'm sure most of them were dead on ... I decided to go big and picked up a Levinson 360S DAC and I'm now... 
Donald Fagen at Beacon Theatre New York City
The Beacon rules! Cant make the Donald Fagen show but I might make the Allman Brothers this year. It's getting to be a tradition. I see he is playing Vegas ... but I don’t see any Pacific Northwest shows. Bummer - Maybe he will add Seattle or the ... 
Speaker Distortion or Room Interaction ?
It would stand to reason that you have very high standards given your equipment list and the complexity of the aforementioned music ... I appreciate that. Would it be possible to build yourself a custom designed listening room? I get the feeling y... 
What material is based below a down firing sub?
I actually went trough a "floor upgrade" with the same sub about a year ago. I went from carpet to hardwood floor (real hardwood). To date I can’t say I have noticed any substantial difference with the subs performance. I have to be honest ... I w... 
What will best my present CD/ DAC?
The sky is the limit ... I decided to split my digital system because I like the idea of switching transports and I like having multiple inputs to cover more than one source. It seems like there is a swing now to get everything in a single box. I ... 
Best tube preamp, cost not object ?

Hard drives and usb converters: Ext versus int

Eating-up cheap dvd players
Philips DVP642 ... They are about $55 but they play ANYTHING and well; kids will be kids. I put my 4 year old's Apex up on a shelf about 5 feet off the ground thinking I was safe. She figured out how to push her plastic desk over to the shelf and ... 
DAC for $1800 or less?
Thanks all... Looks like I have some reading to do. I will call around town and maybe take a trip up to Seattle for the weekend. If it keeps raining maybe I will just paddle my canoe! I want to audition as many DAC's as I can mostly just for the h... 
Receiver Upgrade - Denon vs. Rotel
I ran a friend’s Rotel RSX-1056 for a week and then tried the Denon AVR-5803A. The 5803A was a bit of a pain to setup but I felt the sound was at least AS GOOD as the Rotel ... in fact better. I'm running the Paradigm Signature S4's and S2's in th... 
Rush-R30 Concert on VH-1 Classic FRIDAY 1-13-06
Just in time ... I get to break in my new Denon AVR-5803A. Better go warn the neighbors. I wonder if it's the same show Comcast had on-demand a couple of months back. It was outstanding but way too short. It left me looking for the DVD.
