| Can I integrate 5Ch Surround with my Stereo setup? Outlier,I agree with SoGood51. He is 100% correct as I use my 2-channel/HT having the ability to listen to music in 2-channel completely unaffected by 5.1 DD. As stated in his previous post, just make sure that wherever you set the volume control ... | |
| VGA-RCA Component Video Cable for Plasma? The component BNC will give a very small advantage over a 15-pin Dsub connection. I don't even believe you will notice a difference on a 42" screen. If you did wish to add another set of components inputs you can. The TH42PWD6UY has open slot arch... | |
| Room treatment questions. Scott,I'd start out by trying out with three Room Lenses. Argent is the company that produces them. They are fairly easy to constuct yourself if you have some extra time and have access to some tools. With the size of your room and speakers, I dou... | |
| best processor for 50/50 ht/2 channel system I would not let video switching dictate your choice over sound quality in a processor. I would highly recommend not to use video switching but to invest in cables and a display that has multiple component inputs. I would think that really the most... | |
| Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money? Instead of an anwser, I have a question. I understand that if one had wood floors or a suspended floor how Sound Anchors would benefit. Is my assumption correct in that if one had a concrete floor under thick pile carpeting or throw rug, that prod... | |
| Questions about DAC's and Processors You would have to use both Toslink and Coax output on your DVD player, one to the Pro Prime II and one to the Casablanca. The Coax output should sound better. What I'd do however is sell off the Pro PrimeII and use the DAC's in the Casablanca for ... | |
| SA-14 vs XA777es I also own an SA-14. I found that break in for SACD took at least 400 hours. Redbooks seemed to take a bit less time. I too am using a bicycle inner tube for isolation and am very happy with the player in general. My only complaint is the CD drawe... | |
| Help with Setting Up REL Sub Jec,It does sound like you are over driving the sub. What model REL do you have, how big is your room and where is it physically positioned in your listening room? The physical position of the sub will make a difference in how hard the sub has to ... | |
| LCD vs. PlasmaTV's Fatparrot,The largest LCD currently available it 40" by Samsung and NEC in a couple of weeks. Samsung makes the glass for both screens. The picture of both panels are stunning. Im my opinion slightly better than plasma but you will pay a huge prem... | |
| amp for thiel cs1.6?? You did not mention the cables that you are using. Thiels are a very revealing speaker. Don't forget to budget cables into the equation. I've used MIT's and currently am using Straightwire. You should be able to find one of the older bigger Paraso... | |
| Help: crossover for Thiels and Velodyne sub? AK,I happen to own a pair of Thiel 22's mated with a REL Stadium III. I've had the Thiels for the last eight years and the REL for almost a year. To my surprise, I'm crossing over the REL at 23hz. I would have never thought that my crossover point... | |
| Mark Levinson: Red Rose Music-anyone heard this? I have this SACD. A very good recording both SACD and Redbook. It has a wide assortment of music or spoken words. If it were a reference recording, it would be perfect because of its variety. I state that it is a very good recording though since p... | |
| REL Subwoofers: Version 3 vs. Version 2 I had the same question when I was trying to decided which sub to get. Here is the conclusion that I came up with. If you plan to use your sub for music and for the LFE in home theater, the difference will be huge. If you are just going to be usin... | |
| Diffusors vs. absorbers room treatment I agree with the above post as far as placement of absorbers. I've got wall treatments on the sides, rear wall and on the ceiling of my listening room. Many experts will say that diffusors should be placed in the rear of the room and are used to e... | |
| Speakers room positioning - diff tricks ? I am a believer of the one-third, one-third rule as a guideline. The listener should also be seated away from the speakers the approximate difference separating the speakers plus 5 to 10%. As the previous post stated, these are starting points as ... |
