| Best Sounding Portable CD Players??? The Panasonic works well with my Headroom amp and Senn 600's | |
| directional cable? Some cables like MIT have rectangular boxes built into them, evidently for resistance matching or some other unspoken reasons. Makes sense that these things are directional. Other than that, there is no logical explanation for why a wire would sou... | |
| B&W 302, Paradigm Titans, or PSB Alpha's DM302's are the best value in audio today. I'm using them in a garage system with a NAD7250PE receiver and have also used them with a NAD712, NADL40 receivers, and Audio Refinement Complete integrated (I own six stereo systems, my main rig and the... | |
| HT Gear solved, thanks all who helped! From the Gallo website: "Option 2: Connect center and rear surround channels directly to the receiver and set to small enclosure. Connect the front channels (left and right) to our M1 passive subwoofer and connect the passive subwoofer to the rece... | |
| HT Gear solved, thanks all who helped! http://www.roundsound.com/mps150connecting.htm This link describes how to hook up the sub. Hope there's no "gotchas" | |
| B&O, overpriced artistic piece of audio? B&O, in my experience, are extremely overpriced and have questionable reliability. Yeah, the stuff looks cool alright, but in my mind are simply European-styled Bose. IMHO, you'd take quite a step down changing your current gear for B&0. I... | |
| Cheap Tweak? I'm at a loss to understand why your wife would be involved in your choice of contact cleaner. Perhap I'm one of the fortunate ones, but my wife could care a less what I do with my various audio systems. Probably has a lot to do with ignoring her ... | |
| Records Everywhere - Help! I like the look of vinyl strewn everywhere, I find it has a calming effect. Wife disagrees though... | |

| Shelf Material I've tried just about everything too, I use solid 1" thick oak, seems to give me the best results so far. The Brightstar Audio stuff seems to sound better in my system than the Seismic sinks do. As always, your mileage may vary...Jeff | |
| Audiophile considering HT Okay, so a NADT770 receiver, B&W DM302's for front and rear, B&W ASW1000 sub, B&W CC6 center ought to do the trick. Throw in a DVD player and several miles of speaker cable and I'm all set. From the sounds of things I'll need a spool o... | |
| Audiophile considering HT Sugarbrie, I've very familiar with the B&W speakers, I own 302's and 602's. In fact, I thought the 602's for front, 601's for rears, and then perhaps a B&W sub and center channel made sense. The receiver thing remains a bit of a mystery to... | |
| Neophite needing advice I agree with Sugarbrie's picks, and they are all readily available used, saving you a fair bit of cash. Funny how people, once swung over to Linn, remain Linnies for life. Nothing wrong with Linn, just never did it for me. Jeff | |
| headphone pre-amps Ramstl, I should have been more specific, cuz I did get a good deal on it. I got mine from Kevin at Upscale Audio, a customer of his brought it in on trade, it's as new and the price was right. He advertised it on Audioshopper, I grabbed it while ... | |
| headphone pre-amps I use the Grado headphone amp with my Senn 600's, works great and is reasonably priced at ~$200 |
