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... 
Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2
Hey Dlp600,I can't agree w/Kthomas more, especially since it's the same way I've done my set up. 
Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2
Hello Dlp600,I, just as you did, bought the HTS1, used, as the center peice to my system. I've upgraded amps from Krell(KAV-500) to the Plinius SA-250mkIV and Aragon 8008x3b combo. I've upgraded spkers twice from B&W to Revel to Dynaudio. I al... 
looking for a better DVD player
What's up folks, Flemke, I understand that some Sony products are highly regarded and all, but my point was the mid-fi stigma that Sony and Pioneer share. I would not feel comfortable having a Sony heading up my system no matter how good it's supp...

Hey Kthomas,That is exactly what I had in mind but I thought the tube pre would bring something more to the mix. I'm considering trading up to the HTS3 7.1. It has the anolog pass through. Will that be all that is necessary for what I have in mind... 
Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11
Hey Jimmymac,The Dynaudio 1.3 MkII come w/foam plugs for the portholes that help w/bookshelf mounting. I have not tried them w/the plugs so I do not personally know what affect they have on the overall sound. I would guess that Dynaudio would not ... 
Best power for 10,000
Hey Thsalmon,Everyone has neglected to mention the Plinius SA-250 MkIV, 250 watts of very slightly laid back but sweet sound. More than capable of driving any spkr. And some of the best bass control and slam out there. Check it out.....John 
Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11
Hey Jimmymac,I have to agree w/Rmml about giving the MkII's room to breath and plenty of juice. I have mine 69 1/4" from the back wall and 42 3/4" from the side walls in my 22'x13'x9' room. I'm also driving them w/a Plinius SA-250 MkIV. I've never...

want to upgrade music performance in HT syst.
Hello again folks,As you can see I'm monitoring this closely, it has become an obsession. To address Kirk. How would I go about getting the DVD players dac out of the loop and using it just as a transport? My room is 22'x 13'x 9' and it is a sunke... 
want to upgrade music performance in HT syst.
Hello folks,Thanks for the responses. It is hard to put my finger on just what it is that's missing. I get, what I feel, is decent bass and the high end is crisp and extended w/out being harsh or tizzy. But I think there is still room for improvem...
