| CES 2004 Best of Show I may be mixing and matching with THE Show, but the consensus in my group of the rooms we heard was- Walker Audio with the Proscenium feeding Viva monoblocks driving Zingali speakers. One of the gang descibed it as sounding like 'sex' - he doesn't... | |
| tube phono stage under $1k? I would suggest that you may get better sound overall by looking for an integrated amp with a phono stage, thereby not having to run your analog thru the receiver at all. You would run the receiver's L/R pre-outs into the IA as an auxiliary input ... | |
| Clamp for Rega Planar 2? Thanks guys! I think I'll head over to ED for a Heavyweight. | |
| DLP, LCD, XVGA projectors, what are they and One drink's too much, and 20 aren't enough. It would be a missive to answer your questions. You might try looking at the FAQ's at more video-oriented sites. Feel free to email me for some suggestions. | |
| CD Player Integration into HT Setup If you are looking for a large significant change, you might try a non-up/oversampling and/or tubed-output DAC. They may or may not be your cup of tea, but you should have no problem hearing a big difference. Buy at the right used price and resell... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Sean,LOL, but as I was reading that post I was thinking it was you (i didn't look at the header). I've always believed you should set the cross a full octave above the -3dB point of your speakers, to avoid just such a 'hole' in the LF response. Of... | |
| Favorite one box C.D.?? Rec (or anyone else with info of course),I've heard some uncomplimentary things about the mechanical reliability of the Audiomeca's - have you heard or experienced any such thing? I almost pulled the trigger on a Mephisto II transport, but backed ... | |
| Where do you draw the line??? OK, here's what I believe:1. I believe diminishing returns applies in all walks of life - including audio.2. I believe 'diminishing' means 'diminishing', not 'non-existent'.3. I believe all of us spend WAY too much energy and resources on our equi... | |
| Suggestions for someone who wants to get in tubes tcco,Yes, you can run your 2-ch sources into the pre, and run the receiver L/R preouts into it also. If the pre doesn't have an HT bypass/unity gain function simply calibrate the HT with the pre's volume control at a known position, and return it ... | |

| Consumer Electronics Show,8-12 Jan. 2004 Las Vegas Ditto much of what Gunbei said. My first was 2002 and I had a similarly great time. Even better than the toucvhing and listening (which is compromised in most rooms) was the accessibility to meet and talk with the designers. Most were very approac... | |
| what are you listening to lately? Alison Krauss - New FavoriteNanci Griffith - Best OfClapton - UnpluggedO Blues Where Art Thou?Collins, Copeland, Cray - Showdown | |
| Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace Springsteen opened the Chapel Hill show last night with a very nice version of 'I Walk The Line'. (BTW, he opened on the 10th with Warren Zevon's 'My Ride's Here') | |
| Speaker / Amp Choices for a Large Room You might try integrating a subwoofer into your setup before resorting to more drastic and expensive alternatives. | |
| Darryl and Darryl ask ... where would you start? Thanks for the response, guys and gals. I admit to subscribing to the 'buy what you love' philosophy - especially in the areas like speakers and amps which don't change much with technology and format 'advances'. I've been a poster and lurker here... |
