What Would you Trade your System FOR?
Hey all,I haven’t even finished my system yet and you want me to consider trading it? HA!! I have the most wonderful woman in the world (my wife of 9 yrs as of December 20) and I have the perfect job for me (bill collecting for Time Warner Cable) ... 
audio stores in Albany, NY
Hello folks,I'm from NYC, Manhattan to be exact and you are much better off staying on the outlying areas then coming into the city. If you thought The Audio Outlet didn't want to deal with you, although I've rather enjoyed going there and have ne... 
Anyone heard the Odyssey monos vs Plinius amps?
Keep the Plinius!!!!! 
B&W N805 vs Revel M20
Hey Gustavog,I bought the 1.3MkIIs because in an A-B comparison between them and the M-20s, I found the Dyns smoother in the highs (silk dome vs. aluminum dome tweeter) and they have a deeper and broader soundstage then the M-20. I found the M-20s... 
B&W N805 vs Revel M20
Hey Gustavog,I've since sold my M-20s and bought the Dynaudio 1.3MkIIs. But before I let them go I was using the Plinius SA-250MkIV to drive them. This amp can drive a truck if hooked up right.....John 
B&W N805 vs Revel M20
Hey Gustavog,I've owned the M-20s and they need power. I had them hooked up to a Krell KAV-500 with the very same 100 WPC and up to about medium sound levels they were only good. After that, at higher volume levels, the soundstage would collapse. ... 
Review: Dynaudio Contour 1.8 mkII Speaker
Hello Carlman,I believe what you were hearing was the Bryston amp and not the 1.8's. I've heard the Bryston 3BST and 4BST. Although they are quite respectable amps, I found them a bit rough and edgy in the high frequencies. As for your choice of t... 
Metronome any Good?
Hey Platsolos,I've had the CD2V Signiture in my system for about 6 months and I find it quite satisfying. It is very smooth and throws a deep soundstage. I've heard the Cary, although for a short listen, and I was not pleased with the sound. Of co... 
B&W VS Dynaudio .........
Hey Damon,I've got my Dynaudio 1.3MkII's driven by a Plinius SA-250 MkIV and the sound is magic. I plan to move the 1.3's to rear ch duty and purchasing the 3.0's for the fronts. I'v heard the 3.0's with the same amp and they are a match made in h... 
B&W VS Dynaudio .........
Hey 2001impala,I've heard that the Dyn' 3.0's sound a little better overall than the 3.3's. Just my .02.......John 
Question 5000 for amp, proc'r & speakers for HT
Hello Nikkidanjo,I would agree wholeheartedly with your suggestion of the pre/amp seperates. Doesn't Rotel have a current model pre/pro with DTS-ES? The speakers I would recommend are the Dynaudio 1.3MkII for the L&R fronts and the 1.1's for t... 
Where does your user name come from?
My user name is my initials. I know, what's so note worthy about that. Well when I was signing up for A'gon I ment to use the name Stereojunky but I put the name and initials in the wrong places and so I'm now known by my initials on A'gon. I know... 
Best Concert DVD
Hello All,I would like to recommend Metallicas' "S&M" concert DVD. The band plays w/ Michael Kamen conducting The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. I'm a Metallica fan so my opinion is a bit biased but I think, if you give it a shot, regardles... 
Video Calibration?
Hello Jondon,I purchased a Mitsubishi WT-46809 and used the Video Essentials dvd. The effect of my DIY calibration was OK. Then, after having burned in the screen for about 100 hrs, I called my local ISF certified tech. He spent about 2.5-3 hrs. w... 
Digital Front End.. help please
Hey Dennis_the_menace,I just purchased the Metronome CD2V Signiture and I love it. It does not have the reputation that some of the afore mentioned "usual suspects", as I refer to them, but it is a solid player. It has a tube output stage and thro...
