halogen lighting?
I have the answer your looking for! We just finished remodling the den, which is where the audio & projection systems are located. My electrician promised me that the low voltage lighting (12 volt) he would put in wouldn't make any sound. Well... 
Opinions: USED 200- 300 wpc amp with remote on/off
Hi Sean:Sorry it took so long to respond (tax season!). Anyhow, the speaker in question is a Cello Amati. What I've decided to do is to utilize a couple of old Kenwood L-07's (mono-blocks) that have been collecting dust for the past several years.... 
Dedicated Lines - specific questions
Thanks for the info guys! VERY HELPFULL. Any suggestions where to purchase the THHN wire? Ken G. 
Albertporter only needs 50
Hello Albert:I hope I'm not too late... I just read this post about the treated recepticles and it's quite timely as I recently picked up 5 Hubble HBL8300W's (not installed yet) and was planning to have the electrician out next week to run 5 dedic... 
high end progressive scan dvd player
I use a Camelot Roundtable and love it. Besides being a top-notch progressive DVD player, its CD playing ability is even better! After comparing the sound quality of an older NAD transport (but a very good one) with digital out into a Theta TLC to... 
Surround Sound Processors SSP : I give up
Many thanks to all who gave their opinions! I concluded (after much consideration)that purchasing a reciever in the $1000 - $1500 range that had pre-outs so that I could utilize all of my existing "big" amps was really a waste of most of the unit,... 
CD direct to amp vs active preamp
Well, here I go with my 2 cents... I have a complete Cello system (Mark Levinson's last "cost no object" company that went out of business and is now being resurrected). Instead of using an active preamp, Cello or otherwise, I use a Cello passive ... 
Rationalizing the Mark Levinson ML-40
Before buying the new ML, you may want to wait for the new Viola piece. Tom Colangelo, the head designer for (the former) Cello, has just showed his new multi channel preamp at CES. From what I understand, the unit will retail for about $20K. It w... 
Planar center channel w/conventional speakers
Your best bet is to always use the same manufacturers speakers for the front L&R as the center. The idea here is to present a coherent sound all the way from left to right (it's even better to use the same speakers for the surrounds). Mixing b... 
Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru?
The Cal Audio Labs SSP-2500 does. 
HT Preamp INTEGRATED with 2 channel PRE?????
Seth has the right idea. I have gone even one step further by using a passive attenuator (instead of an active preamp) with multipal inputs, one of which is connected to the front left & front right outputs of a Cal Audio SSP-2500 surround pro... 
What is causing the hum?
Hate to be another "me tooer", but thanks Steve - that was a great explanation. 
CAL CL-2500 DVD/CD
Just purchased a Cemelot Roundtable and love it! The sound quality (for CD's) is excellent. 
Cello Duet 350?
This (like all Cello equipment) is a killer amp! I purchased one used about a year ago and have been delighted. The detail and transparency is truely amazing. With 350 watts per channel, this will most likely satisfy any power requirements. I woul... 
Krell HTS vs. Proceed AVP
Being in the market to purchase a pre/pro, I have a listened to both units within the past week. I found the Proceed to be FAR BETTER sounding than the Krell (I don't know how Krell manages to stay in business - maybe it's the blue light!). The Pr...
