| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? if your collection is that big you really need a Raid system with multiple drives, or what is actually easier is a Drobo with multiple drives that make it nearly impossible to lose your data, and can give you up to 3TB of storage with backup. | |
| Best multi-channel 5/7 power amp for Home Theater I love the Parasound that that you have, I don't really think you are going to get a huge leap forward with anything newer, unless you went way up in price. I think the 2205 sounds every bit as good as the A51 they make, and better than almost any... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? with the music you love, and the very cool Rogue that you have "postulatin'" tunes, a pair of vintage Klipchorns would rock out. My fav speakers for rock music, that that from a guy who always has Maggie's. | |
| Speaker for MC-501 I had the 501's a few years ago and they were not a good match with my speakers, a buddy had the JL Labs Utopias, and they now reside at his house. There were, and are, a perfect match. | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? OK, I'm still going to save this thread and come back to it in 2010 when I think we will all be discussing what our download speeds are, and how good are the DAC's we use to decode our AppleLossless/WAV/FLAC files (and vinyl still of course), and ... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ vs Martin Logan Depth they are different, the Vandersteen is a music only, don't really do much to help with LFE effects no matter how you hook it up. Martin logan is excellent on movies and music, but not as musical, but it's a toss up.I think the Velodyne DD15 is the... | |
| Power conditioner best pure conditioners I have used are the Richard Gray stuff, I have an APC S15 and PS Audio Duet (big 550w monoblocks). the APC was/is fine, and very flexible all alone, but the monoblocks pulled so much power I had to get something to supplemen... | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? Playstation 3 Plays SACD?? Is that right?? | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost 30 - 35K for a "near reference system"???? Spoken like a true retailer. | |
| New speakers From your list, Totem Hawks. Excellent. | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? why store a disc, which has mechanical playback problems, by the very fact that it has to be played back, when you can access the same file on a hard drive?? I completely disagree with the cost of storage. Nothing in the tech world has fallen in p... | |
| 2ch Preamp Recomendations the AES/Cary preamp is killer.Parasound P3 is a killer too. | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? OK, BluRay is better, but I don't see a big enough difference to change from DVD's, especially since I see BluRay as the 8-track of this decade. It's a stop gap. Anyone who has an AppleTV and has downloaded HD movies that I have talked to has the ... | |
| used vs "Giant Killer" Gear takes a while to break in, so a lot of times you buy something from someone, especially if they trade out of it within 1 yr, that is just starting to sound it's best. Someone who may know more please corret me, but as far as speakers go, ther... | |
| Magnepan MG-1 sonically challenged? I come from the opposite side of the this story. The first Maggie's I heard, and bought were 1.6qr's, then I heard the older models. The newer models are better, but I don't think it's a quantum leap in sound, more a refinement. I bought a pair of... |
