| Apple TV vs Wadia 170i? AppleTV, a lot more to it. | |
| Anyone use a DVD player as a front end? I had a modded out Denon 5910ci for a while and I liked it very much for red book CD. That said, it really didn't sound any better than the Oppo I now have which goes through a Bel Canto DAC3. So I agree that the DAC makes the biggest difference. ... | |
| Salvaging worn cd's... DiscDoctor works great. In only a few cases, where my kids have just scratched the DVD too much, did it not completely rehabilitate a disc. | |
| Anyone using battery backup I have an APC S15 which has battery backup for my gear, except the power amps which pulled so much power I put them on a seperate PS Audio Duet.The APC has been great, really cleaned up my system from the day I put it in. Like Kennyt we have terri... | |
| WHAT'S THE BEST SOLID STATE PREAMP FOR $3000 ?? I vote for the ARC LS-10, Bryston second place. | |
| Sound for my new theater? Go back to the Maggies system, much improved sound quality. I am a fan of Def Tech, but hey are not in the same league with the Maggies. | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? Ghosthouse, really none of the others sound anything like "Girl in the Other Room", but I like the others as well. If you like this album try Madeline Peyroux "Careless Love" and Shelby Lynne "Just a Little Lovin". | |
| Looking for a universal remote Prpixel, Troy wants the image on the AppleTV to be on the TV screen if I understand his question, so that's not a problem. AppleTV does that anyway, so he does not need that capability on his remote. I believe. | |
| VPI Aries 3 versus McIntosc MT10 turnta Looked back at your Rig, way cool by the way, and with that gear I would definitely go with the VPI. Love the Mac Preamp/Amps together with Dynamic Speakers, I bet the sound is sublime. Enjoy. | |
| VPI Aries 3 versus McIntosc MT10 turnta I have a Clearaudio so I should be biased to that side, but this is not a contest. I have never really liked the McIntosh, sounds slow and muddy to me, the VPI is stellar especially in that level. I have never heard the extended table, but that so... | |
| Looking for a universal remote Harmony 890, easy to program, easy to use, excellent RF capability. | |
| how much power do you need two drive magnpan1.6s I am late to this, but with all of the different amps I have used with Maggies, the higher the power the better. I had a Parasound a21 with my 1.6's when I had them and I thought I was in heaven, until on a suggestion I bought an Innersound ESL (n... | |
| Speaker recommendations for death metal... The second JBL's, no question. Massive SLAM. | |
| VPI Periphery Ring With Clearaudio Performance I got the TTWeights ring, man I am really glad I didn't spend $1200 on the Clearaudio one. This is really great. | |
| New Mac Mini vs. old as music server I had(have still) a MacMini and since it was so cheap I bought an AppleTV, it's easier to use than the MacMini as a media server. |
