| Does anyone have information on the Adcom 2535 I have had a 2535 since '94. It performs very well as center channel and surround amp. 2 of the channels bridge into 200wats, which I run to my center, and use the 60watt channels to my surrounds. | |

| Is there any way to get into tubes for super cheap Check for a Cayin TA-30 integrated. Should be around $5-600. Beautifully built little amp (35watts/channel). | |

| Entry level tube pre with pass thru and remote? How about the TAD-150? Available on auction here regularly for around $800 w/damaged shipping box. Very good reviews here. John | |

| Need your pre-amp advice The Anthem is very highly regarded, and is very similar to the AVM-30, which is considerably more expensive. Check out AVS forums, a lot of threads on this subject. John | |
| Help: How to connect my stuff? #1 will work. What you will need to do is when you select yourYamaha input on the Adcom, set the volume to knob a easy to remember point, such as 12 o'clock. Then you can balance your channels for Dolby, etc. Now whenever you want to watch a movie... | |

| Anyone try center backs this way???????........ Years ago, in a small living room, I had the rear surround speakers up high, but facing toward the ceiling. This was with a DPL setup, but it sounded quite nice. | |

| Help - Internet radio from PC to stereo receiver If your preamp has digital inputs, you can get a sound card for $30 or so with digital outputs. This works very well, I have done it for years.John |
