| new USB cable shuts down the computer My audio store wrote back and said they had a bad batch, but one tested perfectly.I had a bad experience with an old Cardas interconnect years ago. I'm not sure this is good marketing for them. I'm going to end up driving to the store three times ... | |
| Narrowing down to JM Reynaud or VMPS...Help I'm a big fan of Reynaud speakers too...although they are certainly not represented well in the U.S. They have a "wide open" sound and they really sing with Class A and/or tube amps...I've had my Trentes for about three years... With a 100w amp, t... | |

| DV-50 Owners - a question, please Jfrech is right. You need to set the digital out. If I remember correctly, it was set to "two-channel audio out" when I first programmed it.You should hook it up to a TV, because your SACD might be set to "5.1 surround"...I think that was the SACD... | |
| Matching Speakers to an Arcam A75 Plus I just put together a system with DALI floorstanders and an A75 plus... a really nice match ..very deep and wide presentation. I'd caution against a "bright" front end, but if you have a clean, neutral source component(s) (which I'm sure you do), ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc. I'm so glad to find this post! My DV-50 has been in the house about three weeks and it still never misses a chance to make me break out in grins...I'm using the Audioquest Panther RCAs and they seem very well-suited. Admittedly, my player is still... | |
| SACD VS DVD-AUDIO I'll chime in here.. In my experience DVD-A has the edge. I've been using an Esoteric DV-50 for about a month, and the DVD-As are just a hair more engaging and fleshed-out.. The SACD (in my opinion) is a bit..how should I say?... "crispy" at the u... | |

| this should open the floodgates: BEST home theater My, my !!Well, I have to say, in my "defense", my posting was a bit of a red herring... Of course I'm in consultation with both an acoustic engineer and an HT designer... Architecture can be a rewarding life, but success in this field is frequentl... | |

| Review: Revel Performa M-20 Speaker I owned these speakers for awhile and elected to sell them. I must say they have a beautiful mid-range (when beautiful mid-range exists on the recording), and I really appreciate their flat impedance across the frequency spectrum (I have a Pass Al... |
