Definitive SuperCube Trinity
The Trinity is a monster sub, and I do not think Def Tech is exaggerating it's output. FWIW the sub wasn't designed for HT use, it was designed to reproduce pipe organs in the Trinity church in NYC which switched to an electric pipe organ after 9/... 
Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2?
I powered mine up this morning to check it out, I do appreciate a low level fan noise when on, but it has never been noticeable at usual movie listening levels. 
Power Conditioning, Torus, Audience or David Gray?
I think you mean Richard Gray, I would add PurePower to the list, they are regenerators with battery backup and are the best I've found, oh and I no longer fear turning my system on during lightning storms with it in my system! 
Equipment: To Hide or not to Hide
I keep mine in the same room proudly displayed. Not only do you get to look at it and have easy access for changing movies and music, you often can get by with shorter wires. 
Anyone catch Robin Trower on tour?
No, couldn't have been, I was driving my Dad's 1976 Cadillac Coupe De Vile (older by then) and I was a senior in HS, so it was late 1984 or early 1985, so no more than 24 years ago..... God I am getting old! 
Anyone catch Robin Trower on tour?
Davetherave,Roy Buchanan's suicide has always bothered me in a way. reportedly his suicide note was about how unknown he was and how he never got the fame he deserved (OK, he was tanked when he wrote it and killed himself but...) and that has alwa... 
Anyone catch Robin Trower on tour?
I used to live in wayne, but nnpot since the mid late 80's, now I am in Florida, which seems to be where everyone from the Tristate area ends up... 
Anyone catch Robin Trower on tour?
Saw him some 20 yrs ago with RoyBuchanan warming up for him. Up to that point I'd never heard of Roy but he actually blew RT off the stage, it was at the old Capital Theater in Passaic,NJ, never forget that show! 
Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)?
Diofan,What price point are you looking at?Low point, Def Tech Mythos ST's can put out 110+ dB in my 16x25 room with vaulted ceilings ad be very listenable to at that volume (though not for long if you want to keep your hearing).One speaker I am t... 
biwire terminations
I would personally prefer spades on both ends, I like the solidity of the spade connector over bananas (though bananas are much easier to swap out) and depending on which amp you end up with you may have two pairs of binding posts for the spades.T... 
Silliest audiophile equipment of all time?
I have to agree with Timrhu, the teleportation tweak is just so flippin' silly I can't imagine anyone has actually paid for it!Most of the gear Machina Dynamics makes seems silly to me, but I see their stuff in place from time to time, so someone ... 
Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers
What about the Def Tech Mythos ST's? $4K new (retail) and go to like 14 Hz and will do 110+dB's with low powered amps? I think you should go listen to them, they are a true giant killer. 
Wasting money using Esoteric DV50s as Transport?
Nhollis,I am almost certain these are in the DAC portion, so I highly suspect they would do nothing to the digital output. I will try it on mine via the digital and see soon. 
Wasting money using Esoteric DV50s as Transport?
If you are talking about the RDOT and FIR I believe you would miss them with the digital output but their is a slight possibility I'm wrong. 
Wasting money using Esoteric DV50s as Transport?
I have a DV-50s, and it is a great transport, both for DVD's and CD's. The 's' designation gives you the DVI-D output, but it is only in 480p, so good thing you have the DVDO system for video as it does a great job correcting for other units de-in...
