Jan 08, 2004	Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Hey Y'all,The Plinius, as I stated earlier in this thread, would be a wonderful choice but I would not sell the Sim Audio W5 short. I've heard this amp a few times driving Dynaudio 1.3 MkIIs and SEs and this amp paired up very well and did not str...
Dec 20, 2003	REL sub setup Hey Y'all,Eagle, I'm 100% sure you do not need to change the mode selector for H/T to music if you are using both the Nutrik cable and an RCA connection simultaneously. The only thing youre doing by changing the mode is adding/subtracting the ABC...
Dec 20, 2003	REL sub setup Hey Y'all,I've read the manual and on page five it explains the functions of the mode selector. I have my subs set to 4, meaning the phase is set to 180' and I have the LFE signal by-passing the ABC filter in the subs because I have my processor h...
Dec 19, 2003	Add another sub or go with F30's? Hey Y'all,I have about the same room set up as you, Garyb6, and I have two Strata IIIs. They are just what the doctor ordered. My room is 22'L x 12.5'w x 9'h and the back of the room, opposite the system, is open to the foyer. I've gone through th...
Dec 19, 2003	REL sub setup Hey Ultraviolet,I have two Strata IIIs and I've never noticed a switch from high pass and low pass. I've been running them for almost a year without having to touch them, except, of course, for the occasional adjusting of the crossover after chang...
Dec 16, 2003	What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes? Hey Phil,Stan's cables extend the range of the speakers noticeably and lower the noise floor considerably. They also provide the most musical bass I've heard VS the cables I mentioned earlier. The high end is very sweet, not tizzy or bright, with ...
Dec 15, 2003	What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes? Hey Phil,Yes, it is very difficult to contact Stan but it has certainly been worth the effort to me. I can tell you from word of mouth from a gentleman in the business that handles the JMR cables regularly, they do not compare to the Stan Warren c...
Dec 11, 2003	What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes? Hey Y'all,I'm very pleased that both of you gentlemen are enjoying your Trentes. I had a friend over the house about two weeks ago and he was impressed with the Trentes. He is a planar guy and considers point source speakers slow and lumbering. He...
Dec 04, 2003	Help me find a new HDTV...... for $3500 Hey Y'all,I too, like Eddaytona, have just taken delivery of my Samsung 50" DLP and it is, without question, the best picture I've had in my living room. I had the Mitsubishi 46809 and I upgraded to the Sony 50XBR-800 LCD. The latter I had for abo...
Nov 07, 2003	Good Scene to test surrounds Hello Captain,I've recently been partial to "XXX" with Vin Diesel. The opening scene where the guy shoots the bolt, off screen, into the wood door and repels down has shaken people out of there seat more then once. Also, when he steals the senator...
Nov 06, 2003	Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Hello Russellrcncom,In that price range I would recommend the Plinius SA-250MkIV. I purchased mine about two years ago at about that price range and I cannot think of another amp that I would want, for the price. If I'm not mistaken, there is a co...
Nov 01, 2003	Interconnects and Home Theater? Hey Y'all, I've upgraded my ICs and speaker cables slowly as I've gotten my system together. I've found that, yes, the most important cables are the front three but I also noticed that when I matched the rear channel ICs with the fronts and center...
Oct 29, 2003	Parasound JC-1 with B&W Nautilus speakers? Hey Y'all,Tfee, I hope you will keep us posted on the changes you hear as the amps settle. I'm thinking about the JC-1s and I'm trying to gather as much info as I can. I would also like to hear from someone who has had experience with both the JC-...
Sep 27, 2003	Good power conditioner overview in TAS Hey Y'all,Labtec, I really appreciate your input and suggestions. As for putting in a 240v line and a substation in the attic, I would definitely consider it, except for one thing. I live in an apartment. I do know that once I get myself into a ho...
Sep 26, 2003	Good power conditioner overview in TAS Hey Y'all,Avnut, the BPT has done a wonderful job for the audio part of my HT set up. It has provided a better soundstage and a deeper, blacker background. It has also added a bit more punch and liveliness to the bass. The one thing it seems to co...
