| Best preamp/processor for audio and home theater? Rogerwalk - I have the MC-1 and am about to trade it in on the MC-12, so I don't have any direct experience yet with the MC-12. However, if you can afford to go that route, I doubt you'll find it lacks compared to anything shy of a dedicated very ... | |
| Using a two channel pre-amp with a HT processor. Mark - You should be able to do what you're suggesting with any two channel preamp as long as you're willing to find a pre-set volume level on the preamp that "passes through" the signal at in balance with the channels fed directly by the processo... | |
| B W 804 for Home Theater Assuming you like the basic Nautilus sound, you'll love the combination and it will suit you well. To get the HT slam you want, you'll definitely need a properly mated sub, but there's more to it than that. You want proper articulation so dialogue... | |
| Best Integrated 50wpc under 600 used I'd buy a Linn Majik integrated amp - compact, flexible and great sounding - you can definitely find one used for $500-550. -Kirk | |
| New Transport Approach There is a company named Lansonic who is doing just what you describe - a disk-based audio component. It's got an ethernet interface on the back-end, audio-component interface (digital and analog) to feed a stereo system. It looks just like a serv... | |
| Audio Recession It's a great time to be a buyer for any luxury item right now - there are definitely signs everywhere that luxury items, including audio gear, are in a buyer's market. There have been many pieces listed here and other places over the past six mont... | |
| Massage therapist looking for stereo for office When I read the initial post the first time, I was thinking it was for only two rooms, but it's for three. I doubt either the Linn Classik or the NAD L-40 (an excellent recommendation as well, especially since it could be purchased new within the ... | |
| Massage therapist looking for stereo for office A used Linn Classik with a pair of decent bookshelf speakers, a long list of which can be had for around $300 new. The Classik should be less that $1k, so she should be able to do it within budget. My only question would be if the Classik supports... | |
| Lexicon MC 12 The full product manual is available as a PDF file on the lexicon website - looking at that may answer many or all of your questions.The MC-12 does have analog pass-through, so I would guess it would make your KRC preamp redundant. It has video sw... | |
| The infamous The most relevant aspect of answering the question is understanding what a person's goal is. There are obviously a lot of people on this site (and with the audiophile passion) who are significantly more involved in the pursuit than I am - they pla... | |
| Internet purchase of Big-Screen TV Thanks for all the feedback. The set I really want is the Pioneer PRO-610 which, unfortunately, is very pricey compared to competitive models from Mitsubishi and Sony. It can be had for about $4600 + shipping from a number of sources online, and s... | |
| Krell KAV-1500 Vs. KAV-200a The KAV-1500 has been discontinued, while the KAV-200 is current. You've probably seen pictures, but they're styled differently. The KAV-1500 only had a production run of about 9 months, which is pretty short even for Krell. The local shop here, w... | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon I saw that article along with another that stated that some chip maker was coming out with very low-cost SACD chip sets - ie, Discmans with SACD capability. More publishers' support coupled with getting the price down to the "normal" CD price, in ... | |
| CD Clubs -Press their own CD's? That's interesting - I'd never heard that. I buy a lot of music from both, especially BMG, and haven't had any problem with sound quality or durability - they look and sound just like normal CDs. The BMG ones do usually say "manufactured for BMG..... | |
| Music you might have missed Jeff - I agree with you on The Tragically Hip, except I usually recommend Fully, Completely as the CD that'll spur somebody to buy the whole collection.Jeff Saphin - ThisThe only CD he's put out, it's a rock album that reminds me of Bowie in a lot... |
