| Amp & Pre Advice for Hales Transcendence 8 Hello,Back in '99 when I worked for a shop that was a Hales dealer we usually had a Meridian 508-24 cd player feeding a Meridian pre-amp/controller into either a Sunfire Signature Grand or Proceed Amp 2 into a pair of Hales T-5's. Both amps could ... | |
| Multi Channel Pre Amp Hi Doug,If an analog multichannel pre-amp will suit your needs, I recommend you check out either the Sony ta-p9000es or the Arcam C30 fitted with the optional multichannel module (note: the current model Arcam C31 does not have multichannel capabi... | |
| Tandberg tape decks I own an NAD Monitor Series 6100 cassette deck built in the late '80's and read somewhere it's basically a "re-branded" Tandberg. Any truth to that? It has some of the features mentioned above such as manual bias trim adjustment (called "play trim... | |
| Nano as travel piece I've been using Sennheiser CX-300 in-ear phones with my 2nd gen ipod Shuffle and they sound great. Easy to drive so they give good battery life from my ipod. They block outside noise fairly well but not as well as my over-the-ear Sony noise-cancel... | |
| Is 1080p via DirecTV Now that you mention it, the "1080p" logo I have been seeing on the program guide does seem to be only for some of the PPV movies. Thanks for your responses.. -jz | |

| trouble finding audio only DSP. You should consider a piece like the Sony EP9ES digital pre-amp/processor from the late '90's.. Excellent performance on decoding Dolby Digital 5.1, comprehensive bass management, volume control to allow connection directly to power amps should yo... | |
| OPPO BDP-83 audio output question Does anyone here know whether the bass management in the BDP-83SE (or Marantz or Denon Blu-ray Universal players, for that matter) is consistent among all the formats it will decode and play? If I decide to buy one I will only use the analog conne... | |
| Who has the oldest bottle of Stylast? I still have my original tiny bottle of Discwasher SC-2 stylus cleaner fluid and stylus brush that I bought sometime in '82. Does that count?Obviously used verrry sparingly! :) | |
| New DAC for Arcam 7SE Hi Gferg, please don't throw the baby out with the bath water! The Alpha 10 is a fine-sounding integrated. When it came out it was considered the best amp that Arcam had ever made up to that point. In professional reviews it's sound and inherent v... | |
| Looking for good quality Bob Seger cds I own the 1999 remasters of Night Moves and 'Live' Bullet in the cardboard mini-album sleeves done by Punch Andrews at Capitol Mastering and the 2001 remaster of Stranger in Town done by Robert Vosgien also at Capitol. They are all standard alumin... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? 'twas the Night Before Christmas on the RCA/Camden label from '68. Featuring narration by the voice of the "Sugarplum Fairy". This childhood classic ALWAYS puts me in the holiday spirit! | |
