| DVP 9000ES Mods? Worth the money? Does any of this help the video look better? | |
| What exactly do ya do about a 15 foot run ? I have BAT equipment. It likes plenty of juice. The suggestion above to run a new dedicated line is a good option. Then the power cord of your choice. You'll notice big differences with AC with the BAT...sounds great, but with a good power cord an... | |
| Are Cheap XLR Balanced Better Or GOOD RCA I'd go balanced. Likely a trade off given your constraints right now. Some XLR cables don't cost more, like Cardas. Depending on what type of sound your're looking for, Cardas Neutral or golden ref might a a great choice. Transparent is another, b... | |
| suggestions for DVD player as transport I'm using a Muse 9 sig as a transport only now into a DCS Delius. The DAC is a big improvement over the digital section in the Muse. And the Muse is pretty highly rated. You could go with a Muse 8/Erato and pick up DVD-A as well. | |
| former BAT vk200 owners-what did you move up to? I went to the VK60. Midrange was incredibly better. Vk200 was a little quieter. Bass a little tighter. Typical solid state vs tube stuff. I'd like to try 2 vk-60s or a vk75se. | |

| AC polarity You can buy a polarity checker at the hardware store for about $5...plugs in and has lights that confirm if it's ok or what's switched... | |
| Improving NTSC on DirecTV I just went from a older sony direct TV (sat 60 I think) reciever to the HDSAT100. The HDTV images are amazing. The super bowl was really cool. However, I could never really watch normal TV before the hdsat 100. It really helps normal sat images. ... | |
| Best Component Video Cable I have both the Transparent high performance and premium component cables. Both are good leaps over the monster I had previously. I have 50ft runs of both going from my Muse 9 Sig (DVD) and Sony HDSAT100 to my Sony VPLVW-10HT. The extra money on T... | |
| Audio Research Rev2 Mk2+Balanced Vk50 SE Here is my opinion. The DCS gear, while outstanding, could use just a touch of soul to it. The ARC gear, again is great, but sometimes falls into this category. The BAT gear, IMO, will give you this "soul". You won't go wrong with either...Depends... | |
| Audio Research Rev2 Mk2+Balanced Vk50 SE I'd pick the one that best matches the rest of your system. Why don't you list it out and I'll (and others hopefully) will give you some advice.I personally own the vk50se, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing for you... | |
| Transparent VS Pure Note IC I can't comment on the pure note. But I own Transparent reference. It's awesome for my system. If you are looking for something ever so slightly rich, with awesome bass and a soaring, open, quiet top end...it's your cable.Great resell and used opp... | |
| Best CD scratch repair/cleaning machine try mikro smooth. I think mapleshade or music direct sells it. should be under $30... | |
| Wadia 861 VS Wadia 270 + 27IX VS Wadia 7 + 9 I haven't heard the 7/9 in years. So, I really can't compare it. The 27/270 is really about the best their is, just a different presentation than the DCS, Levinson or Accuphase gear. The 861 is absolutely one of the best one box players-competetiv... | |
| Wadia 861 VS Wadia 270 + 27IX VS Wadia 7 + 9 Not a lot to say here...other an the 27/270 is about the best you can get...the 861 is a little bit less and the 7/9 just older technology but likely better than anything is it's price range. If you like the Wadia sound, buy the best you can affor... |
