| Power Cables which take the soundstage back Your right, it's Magic. They build most of those cables at Hogwarts. | |
| New speakers needed on a budget Definitive Techology BP 7004's can be had used for that. Bi-polar with built in subs, I have had these in a system, driven by a receiver not a high end power amp, and they were fantastic. When ever I have friends who want a reasonably priced HT se... | |
| DAC's ? why would you want an older DAC, there is no upside in that? Since DAC's are 95% technology, and prices have really fallen, I would suggest you get a new one and take advantage of that.Some very reasonably priced ones are: MHDT Labs Paradisea, Cam... | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back It's your money, and you can certainly spend it on whatever you wish. The contention of a large percentage of the respondents on this string is that if the power is conditioned prior to going to the amplifier or other main transformer circuit, as ... | |
| Best Remakes Of All Time Some songs shouldn't be remade, including "Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters" And "Just Like Heaven" sacrelidge!!! | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back Shellie, I think you are missing the point of TP's post. Read up the string, it's sarcasism, lampooning those who try to justify buying ridiculously priced cables that go from an expensive power conditioner to a beautifully designed circuit, and s... | |
| Best Remakes Of All Time I'm a huge Who fan, but Elton John's cover of "Pinball Wizard" is better than their version.Elton again on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"every song Shelby Lynne covers on Just a Little Lovin' is better than any other version that I have heard.I a... | |
| decent RF universal control system There are lot's of Haters on the Harmony 900 on CNET. I am surprised, I have not used one yet, but if the 890 is still available that's a great remote. I love mine, I use it for the bedroom and game room. I have a One for my listening area. | |
| Ribbon tweeters...out of favor these days? still lots of us with Magnepan's, don't think think they are getting any less popular in the Audiophile community | |
| Dedicated CD player vs. Universal Player Sorry, Cambridge DacMagic, or an MHDT Labs Paradisea | |
| Dedicated CD player vs. Universal Player I would suggest an outboard DAC too. I think the technology for DAC's has moved ahead quite a bit in the last 5 yrs. A dac can be used for a computer based digital system as well, allowing you to eliminate the discs altogether. Don't spend money o... | |
| decent RF universal control system I second the Harmony 890, but the newer Harmony 900 is supposed to be even better. I second staying away from IR repeaters, they can be a pain in the rear. | |

| Cary SLI-80 universal remote compatability? I don't know that you can find a halfway decent universal remote for less than $100. Especially if you expect it to have commands of fairly esoteric equipment such as Cary, available in the Data base.Try to find a used Logitech on eBay or if you h... | |
| Can you COMBINE Magnepan speakers that sounds cool, I think you could do it easily with an active crossover network. Now getting the settings on the crossover could be tough. |
