| HD-DVD Officially Dead call me topid but i don't understand the ending to the story!! | |
| Aero Capitole as a preamp? Audio Aero just came out with a new Capitole that does not have the preamp section. Maybe they've seen the light as well. | |
| Digital Video Essential DVE Disc Or something else that might work at least it did for a dummy like me and its much easier than trying to figure out Digital Video Essentials. Go to the AVS Forum website. They have threads that talk about settings for specific TVs. Find someone ... | |
| Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system As long as Beerdraft brought it up you may want to audition some PC's first. I just upgraded mine (for a 3rd time) on my CJ preamp and Audio Aero CDP. I'll leave the superlatives to someone else but suffice it to say that it made a SIGNIFICANT imp... | |
| Suggestions for a pre amp with HT passthrough? Two of the more recognizable manufactures, Conrad Johnson and Audio Research both offer HT pass through on their tube preamps from their entry model up to the more costly ones. Ive tried the AR SP16 and currently own the CJ CT6. Both due a nice j... | |
| N802 + Velodyne DD-18??? I had the same quandary with my 805s and whether to get the DD12 or DD15. It all boils down to room size. As it turned out the DD12 was more than sufficient for a 16 x 25 room with 12 cathedral ceilings. | |
| Plinius 8200 Mk1 - supply voltage - advice needed I did the 9100 some time ago and if the 8200 is the same its just a matter of popping the top and switching the wires at a terminal opposite the IEC. The terminals were marked very clearly on the 9100 as to which wires go where for 110 or 220 so ... | |
| Tube Amp. Power ratings Atmosphere, I have a similar question to Ckoffend but with a twist. I am also running tube amps in mono (+ or 70 wpc) with 4ohm (Totem Mani) speakers. The Manis are rated at 85db and also known to be notorious for radical dips in impedance. I... | |
| DVD music concerts I don't have 24 nights, but it made me think of another Clapton DVD that I do have. "One More Car, One More Rider"Excellent Wide-Screen, DTS production if you have that capability. | |
| using the Radio shack SPL meter The + or – 10 db indicates the range that the meter is reading. For example if the meter was set at 90 it would read from 80db to 100db. That’s why you got the same reading of 91 – 92 db whether the meter was set at 90 or 100. So it sounds like yo... | |
| Quad 988 versus Quad 2805 Gmuffley, I dont mean to hijack your thread but I have a question for Mr. Tennis. Ive also considered trying the Quads. Ive auditioned the 2905s, which I liked very much, but Ive never heard the 2805s, 988s, 989s, 57s or 63s. My thought ... | |
| Headphone Amp Recommendation I find Head-fi to be a valuable source for headphone related questions. I've contributed/received information several times and I'm an old fart FWIW. I'm not familiar with either of the amps you mention, but I just purchased a WA 6 from wooaudio.c... | |
| I need a 20 or 25 foot headphone cable I use a 20ft. Stefan AudioArt Equinox cable with my HD 600's. Prior to that I was using a 10 ft Cardas cable with a Grado extension cable. I would try to avoid an extension cable if you can. The weak link is the connectors in the cable. You're muc... | |
| Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's Hey Glukeman:Thanks for the comments. It’s good to be excited about something you’re passionate about. Your post was actually very timely in that I was in the market for a new preamp to replace my Audio Research SP16. I considered DeHavilland but ... | |
| Plinius 9200 or separates? Spend a few hundred bucks and add a 220v outlet if you can. Then convert your 9200 to 220v. Its a simple conversion you can do yourself by popping the lid and switching a wire at the power supply inlet. It was suggested to me by the old Plinius d... |
