| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? As with the other thread, I'd go for the music. While my system and collection are both pretty modest, like Craig I get much more satisfaction from discovery of a new artist or piece of music I enjoy, and get more enjoyment when I lose myself in t... | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? Much like Albert, one of our cats had taken up mountain climbing, and was perched high on an adjoining precipice (shelf). Apparently, he suddenly realized mountain-climbing is not yet an olympic sport and decided to switch to the vault. Or he beca... | |
| Need some advice on a good a/v receiver Haven't heard anyone describe Yamaha as "warm" (and I own one) - besides NAD and Denon, consider B&K, Nakamichi, and Rotel. If you can live with basic DD/DTS the Nak AV-10 is a very good choice for musicality. | |
| demo or nice used pre/pro & amp I'd wait for the Outlaw 950 prepro ... check out info www.outlawaudio.com/products/950_pr.html | |
| Aerial Speakers for Music and HT Other than agreeing with the majority of respondents here, the only thing I'd add is that apart from the larger financial commitment to a minimal-compromises combined vs separate 2ch system, the major reasons for their separation is the different ... | |
| I have a 2 channel set up. What is the best way With the receiver, if it has pre-outs for the main speakers, it's a bit different. You would keep your analog/music sources (CD, LP) connected to your integrated, and connect the video sources (DVD, SAT, VCR) thru the receiver. Run the L/R mains p... | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen FWIW, I met/talked to him at CES, and he was fairly engaging, affable, and patient in his discussion and explanations. And the room was pretty busy at the time. | |
| Integrated Amp upgrade I can't comment from personal experience, but I notice that the British mags still rate Marantz gear very highly. I think the latest What Hi-Fi had the Marantz integrated as a top pick, along with Roksan and Arcam, with the MF down a notch. Ditto ... | |
| Happy Holidays to ALL Yes, we're reminded daily of how precious our time together is. To paraphrase Covey (or whomever he quoted) People that matter most must not be at the mercy of things which matter least. Happy holidays, and peace to you in the new year(s) ahead.Tim | |
| Help me with a digital Font end Your digital or video sources are connected to the prepro, analog sources (including DAC outputs from digital sources)to the 2ch pre. The amp (or amp channels) feeding the L/R mains are fed from the main-outs of the 2ch pre, the amp/channels feedi... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? Not with these models exactly, but a very similar set from ProAc (Studio 150 small D'Appolito floorstanders vs Tablette monitors). I liked the floorstanders better than trying to integrate the sub. However, I don't listen to music with much in the... | |
| Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out... Why not hardwire an outboard socket in to the terminations inside the chassis, and not punch the chassis plate at all? | |
| Has anyone purchased a Mitsubishi big screen TV? There are advantages/disadvantages with both. If you fix the red push on the Mitsu (cheap easy fix) the pic is great. You might check the more video-based forums for more info than you could possibly want or use ;-) Email me for suggested sites. | |
| confused about amp Gunbunny,Ishoulda read this thread before I just responded to the 5.3 vs 5.0 thread ... so you decided on the 5.3 or are you vacillating? Anyway , on topic ... what I'd do (and did) is add a good quality 2ch amp and use the receiver as the pre, an... | |
| Atypical Q: Want Advice on Non-Prog DVD w/grt Vid My understanding is that the Panny RP56&91 are GREAT PS but not very good interlaced. The Pioneer DV05/09 and Sony 7000/7700 used are good ideas. I saw a good article somewhere about PS and interlaced output of various players ... I'll see if ... |
