| Recommend tube amp for $3.5K used Almost any monoamp by Quicksilver will fill your requirements. Probably the 120-watt V4s will deafen you quite happily. QSs ALWAYS sound good and are quite reliable. . | |
| Mullard CV4004 ...and don't forget the NP GrooveTube 12AX7M, an intended duplicate of a Mullard ECC83. They sure sound good in the frontend of my poweramps. Probably they'll be less expensive than the old ones recommended above.. | |
| Star Sound Sistrum pltfm? About to pull trigger. Why would you want to shoot it?. | |
| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? Jea, those other folk not only don't know why the sound changes the way it does, they don't care, either...which is, IMO, the way it ought to be. What we ought to care about is the quality of the sound, about carefully determining how the sound ha... | |
| Active Crossover Recommendations Peter, I didn't go quite far enough in my comments. I believe that in a subwoofered system, one needs to run the main system as full-range as it and you can stand. With your 988s, I believe you'd increase their power-handling capacity substantiall... | |
| High Definition Dvd? A few observations FWTW:1. Unsound: "Video monitors/projectors that can accept these signals are still rare." I don't know exactly what 'rare' is, but about every TV sold in the last several years will indeed accept hi-def signals.2. Based on my r... | |
| Active Crossover Recommendations Peter, I've fooled around a bit with active crossovers altho with no CURRENT products. I believe:1. You'll find virtually no difference between any 3 adjacent frequencies in your string beginning at 70; they're just too close together. IOW, there'... | |

| Universal DVD player for HT, SACD and DVD-A Oakiris, I don't have a recommendation for a current Universal-Disc Player, but I own and love an absolutely stock Denon 2900, so probably you can't go wrong with the 3910.Do understand that to get 6-channel hi-res sound out of your UDP you'll nee... | |
| If you had $12,000 for speakers and amp Eminent Technology 8s for as little as c. $1200, Quicksilver V4s for $2500 - $3000, an Outlaw 755 or 770 ($1000 - $1700) for the bass modules, and a couple-hundred dollars for the electronic crossover of choice.You'll end up with GREAT sound--huge... | |
| What would u like on sacd? Nothing; I MUCH prefer the sound of DVD-A. LOTS of the SACDs I have, classical music with sometimes much low-level music, are MUCH noisier than ANY DVD-As I have.. | |
| Tickets to CES - Where can I get them? The CESs are business shows, for dealers, distributors, manufacturers. You could ask your favorite dealer if they're going and could get you tickets.Now that I've typed that, I recall that the last day at least used to be open to consumers, but if... | |
| Bi-amping with 2 Rotel RB-1070. Come on, Eldartford, don't equivocate--tell us how you really feel! :-)Miner, you need to send the left-channel signal via 1 IC cable to the left-channel's 2-channel amp. Split the one signal into the 2 inputs with a 1-female-to-2-males adapter av... | |
