Which works/sounds best, PS audio 300 or PwrCo 400
Look into placing a "Voltage Stabilizer" in between the wall and the PSA. CinePro makes one, as well as countless others. I mention CinePro because I just bought a PowerPro 20 and am very impressed with its performance and build quality.Maybe even... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
I didn't read all the replys, so I'm not sure if anyone answered the original question...In my research I have found the new Anthem AVM20, Tag McLaren AVR32 or the Proceed Pre/Pro would merge the best of both worlds. Good Luck.m- 
Is there a better amp than this...
Don't know the speakers well, but I bet Bi-Amped Marantz mono Blocks would make the speakers sing. Other then that, you can pick up Anthem Amp2 used for $1Kish and it is a great amp!!!! 
Which is better, Lex. DC 1 or Theta Casanova
I am switching from a Lexicon DC1 to Anthem AVM20 or Tag AVR32...I can't believe how the DC1 gets knocked for 2-channel. I am trying to get an A/B comparison done, and am eager to hear the difference, cause I liked my DC1 in 2-channel. Granted my ... 
Whats the deal with CD players?
No reason this should piss people off...you can only hear what you can hear, but people have to understand, hearing is a subjective sense...like most things in this world. I would ask this: are you using the digital outs to digital ins, or are you... 
Dedicated AC lines???
I am using the PSAudio Power Port, and it seems like it made an improvement in the dynamics of my system, however the more I learn about electricity, the more I believe it's best to stick with high quality copper like in the FIMs. I would buy a FI... 
Tubes with Gold pins have issues in some sockets?
thanks guys:)Never know what to believe sometimes unless you've had experience. This forum really rocks. "Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear..." -Lou Reed: "Last Great American Whale" 
Version of Paradigm Mini-Montiors?
look at Paradigms Website...all shown are v.2. 
Name 3 classic mini-monitors worth keeping- Why?
I hear (and thinking of buying) Tylo speakers are great products. I've been talking to Ty and he is a great guy to work with...honest and helpful. I hope his speakers are as good as I hear people say they are. 
Multi-channel amp questions
sorry...to answer your question, the Horn Tweeter is the trademark of Klipsch...its just different technology used to re-create the highs in audio. I find it to be incredible if you listen to Frank Sinatra or big band music, as well as home theate... 
Multi-channel amp questions
Tim summed it up...I'm not knocking Boston, but there are better name brands out there. Klipsch are good speakers, and I have had lots of experience with them, but I am not a fan of Klipsch in terms of audio reproduction. I feel they excell in HT.... 
Multi-channel amp questions
I'd recommend trying new main speakers. A good efficent speaker would be a better upgrade then adding more power to a so-so speaker. Try Paradigm speakers as a cost effective choice. Klipsch are pretty good, or Definitive Technology.If you do go w... 
Do power conditioners really help?
If your not going to spend at least $1000, I'd say put the $$$ in dedicated power lines (20 amp) and maybe pick up some after market power cords. If/when you decide to spend the money, I'd look at the folowing:*Cinepro (expensive, but I am now a b... 
Cable Fetish: Exotic, Warm and Romantic
I like my TransParent Music Link Plus cables...certainly NOT TransParent's top of the line, and I would actually like to hear some feedback on them, as well as an A/B with Cardas Cables. You can get them used for $150...might be worth a try. 
amp blowing up
Biggest drawback of turning on/off in the "wrong" order is the pops one may hear in the speakers. I imagine this does cause damage, and over time will cause the speaker to die before its time. This scares me since I just sold my Monster 5000 which...
