| Life without a remote It can no longer be done. We have evolved too far beyond the caveman days of no remote. | |
| Which Universal Remote to Use? Wow Chadnliz, glad you mentioned that about the Harmony 1000. I have a friend putting in a multi room system and I was going to use that with the RF extender for the Dining/Kitchen section remote. Now I think I will look at someething else.thx. | |
| Sub-woofer/ Source for MAgnepan MG 1.6s I think it depends on the amp running the Maggies, that determines how much, and the quality of your bass response. Almost, or some would say more, important, is the room and the speaker placement in that room.I always have used a sub with mine. T... | |
| Which Universal Remote to Use? I have the Harmony 890 in my bedroom now and the Harmony One running my main system. My wife definitely likes the 890 better, I like the Harmony One. The 890, as with the 880 has some charging problems with the cradle/remote batter contact design,... | |
| Quad 2805 reliablity? Distance from wall needed? I have known several guys with Quads and they have all had problems when they first got them, then never again. The problem always, or almost always seems to be from trying to play the speaker too loudly. They just don't go that loud. You can't ge... | |

| Accuphase A50v and Magneplanar 3.6 I have had similar experiences with my Maggie 3.6r's. I tried a big McIntosh (501's), some big tubes (Antique Sound Labs Hurricanes), Parasound JC-1's (great) some Krell's and Brystons, but always I came back to the realization that you need LOTS ... | |
| Preamp comparison- need help It's not exactly the same but I have a Cary SLP-98p and I love it. I have had several Audio Research preamp, none of the newer models, and liked them, very, very much. Extremely smoooooooooth, great build quality. I think the Cary is comparable, b... | |
| Amp upgrade for 2 Ce Sig II Rogue Cronus, nice....... Your in the UK, try to get your hands on one of the Musical Fidelity or Electocopiant amps, they make some great models. Sorry I can't remember which one it is, but a buddy of mine in France has and EC amp they he runs, t... | |
| Netflix and Tivo to stream internet movies to Tivo I am calling it again, Blu Ray is going to be our LaserDisk, downloaded HD movies are coming, and will be here before you know it. I may buy a PS3 though since it does play SACD. | |
| MMG 3.6 ON 13' X 18' ROOM I agree they may be a bit too big for your room, I don't think they would breath well. The 1.6qr's could be a bit too large for that space as well. But, the MMG could be absolutely perfect. If you want to try Maggies I think this is a pefect way t... | |
| what is the weakest link in my audio chain Kimber Kable 8tc speaker cables, and a PS Audio Quintet power conditioner. I love the Paradigms, I'm sure the set up sounds great. Mix in a Project Debut III turntable with the built in phono-pre next, you will love it. | |
| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? For Drobo, if you get the Droboshare and make it a network storage resource, as I have done, you have redundant storage and backup, no worries about failing drives, and you don't need it in the same room as your audio gear. No noise, no data loss,... |
