Help with SF Line1 relay trigger
Well, here's the instructions. Unfortunately I still need it dummied down a little;For the trigger output, you would have to build a small circuit using an external 12V supply (even an AC adapter):On the Line 1 connection, the tip and ring are con... 
Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening
Thanks Dan...I got the pre with HT pass-thru, and am debating between a receiver for HT or stay with complete seperates. I am very much into 2 channel, so a receiver I'm sure would keep me happy for HT, yet thinking about DVDA and SACD, 2 formats ... 
Help with SF Line1 relay trigger
Thanks for the replies: Here is what I got back from SF/Anthem;"Unfortunately the Line 1 uses an outdated triggering scheme that needs an external power supply - all the connection does is complete a circuit when the Line 1 is turned on. Let me kn... 
I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH
LOL @ Clueless & Tsrart. Too funny. Luckily I only suffer from Farleyitis. Not that i own any, but always seem to watch them on tv.Tsrart's advise is right on...move the speakers up and in if possible. I'd personally sell the tv, but then agai... 
Replacement tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE?
I've used RCA tubes in the rear most bank and was very happy. They were relatively inexpensive, and came very close to what I got from Telefunken. Also tried Amprex (not sure what flavor amprex, but I bought them new for $45) and didn't notice a d... 
Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening
DK, don't know what your budget is, but check out Anthem's AVM new pre pro, Proceed Pre/Pro v.2 or Tag's Pre/Pro. I went the reverse order, and have just 2 channel and now looking for HT stuff. May go with a reciever to save $$; especially since I... 
Subwoofer for Both Music and HT
Sounds Like Sugar is all over this question, and I'm sure knows more about subs than I do, however just to through out another suggestion, the Paradigm Servo 15 is a very high regarded sub. Velodyne is also a great sub maker, but I think that it i... 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?
all good choices but pale when compared to David Gray's Lead Me Upstairs 
Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening
You may need to adjust the speaker volume within the menu system of the denon (if the denon has that feature). It would be where the denon generates white noise and you tune the volume. The external amp may have more power than the denon, and ther... 
Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening
Scott,I'd go with your second thought...put the money into an amp, and use your denon as a pre amp. If you are that skewed towards 2-channel, I'd spend all your budget on a 2 channel amp, and let the denon push the rest of the speakers for HT (the... 
Am I nuts or what?
Most common reason for digital sounding so bad...poor mixing or mastering. Also, the transfer to cd; there are just so many steps one can screw up to make a bad sounding cd. I can understand one's love for vinyl (I'm still digital, but moved to tu... 
Klipsch speakers
My 2 brothers bought KG 5.5s and IMO they sounded great overall. I felt they lacked low end, yet were used in an HT environment with a sub, so in that role worked great. Very efficient speakers. For dedicated 2 channel listening, I think they are ... 
Norah Jones LP from classicrecords.com arrived
i just love Norah!! 
Tube Preamp with PS Audio P300
I have heard some negative things about certain equipment being run through the PS Audio. With something as expensive as a BAT pre, I'd email BAT and ask them directly. 
Sound Proofing 101
What I did:This will help cut down on the bass, but is more of a solution to help tweek the sound interactions in the room, but...Buy 1/4 inch plexiglass and I drilled some hole to attach my screw and nuts that I attached wire hangers to to hang l...
