| 7.1 HT under about 3k Bruce, I see what you're getting at now. In the case of DPLIIx and/or Logic 7, I'm not quite sure what would be the best way of setting up the rear centers. I have a THX Ultra2 capable receiver so I set it up according to their directions. I tried... | |
| Why China Isnt Happening Yet Jea48, do you only buy consumer goods that are manufactured in the USA? You should, otherwise, don't hate on others for someone else's decision. Building factories in China doesn't help the US worker, but it helps the US consumer. But again, it's ... | |
| $3-6K Source Upgrade: Digital vs Vinyl Again Hi thanks for the comments guys. Ya I'm madly researching various vinyl gear now. Table wise, I'm thinking of either getting a VPI Scoutmaster or Teres table. I already know some of the cartridges that go well with the Scoutmaster. If I go with Te... | |
| $3-6K Source Upgrade: Digital vs Vinyl Again Thanks for the responses guys. Well I would prefer to keep the budget closer to 3K than 6K. I just mentioned 6K because that could get me a top tier digital source as Mac pointed out, but not necessarily a top tier vinyl source. But you're right, ... | |
| Why China Isnt Happening Yet Jea48, you really should get your facts straight. It's so easy to put a large umbrella over everything. Do you know why virtually every country wants to do business with China right now? Do you know why many are saying China is going to be the wor... | |
| $3-6K Source Upgrade: Digital vs Vinyl Again I just realized what an exceedingly long post I made. | |
| tube amps 101 If you like the sound of the Bryston amps, then I would stick with them. I like their amps for what they do but never liked the preamp. So yes if it's replacing one or the other, I will definitely replace the preamp. You might find that even a bet... | |
| 7.1 HT under about 3k I would avoid 6.1. I would also look at the suggested speaker placement diagrams on the Dolby web site for a 7.1 set up; e.g., you do not want rear speakers placed in the center of the back of the room.7.1 is better than 6.1 but 6.1 is better than... | |
| Why China Isnt Happening Yet Don't forget that just because it's made in China doesn't mean those factories are Chinese owned. If a nasty, mean, penny-pinching American owner goes to China and opens up a factory to make those cheap toys that doesn't work and brings it over to... | |
| Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber Late to the thread so my comments are going to be of no help to you Kjgp but may be of help to others. I was trying to make the same decision a couple of years ago and ended up with Kharmas. Anyhow, I really liked the Cremona. They were more "exci... | |
| 7.1 HT under about 3k Unless you're totally sure that you don't want/can't fit the center rear channels, I will not get a receiver/processor that doesn't do 7.1 processing. If you've got the room, for movies encoded with a 6th or 7th channel, having that 6th or 7th cha... | |
| Recommended Hi end dealer I second the recommendation of Jtinn! If there's one thing that Jtinn does well, it's finding something that will to maximize your budget! Okay fine, that's a lie. I meant over your budget :D | |
| Do long interconnects degrade sound? As long as you don't compare the sound you get from using your 50+foot run to the sound you get from using 3ft runs then you should be fine. Either way you can definitely still enjoy your music. Sound, convenience, and looks are all factors to con... | |
| Paradigm Center Upgrades I don't have too much experience with the V3 Paradigm but have extensive experience with V1 and V2. In my experience, each version is pretty close although the newer ones tend to be smoother and have less of an edge. The CC450 will definitely be a... | |
| Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ????? Gentlemen, perhaps you should pay attention to what has actually been written. The original poster asked three questions. 1) "Why aren't these cables more widely used by us audiophiles....???" 2)"Am I missing something ?????" 3)"Are they just the ... |
