| NAD 3155 Pops when turned off That's normal for older NADs. Have to just live with it. Just make sure the volume control is at 0 and should not pose any problems for the speakers. | |
| Speakers for Bryston I previously used a BP26/3bsst to drive Aerials (6 and 7b). Great combo. | |
| Conrad Johnson ET3, Mystere CA21 or Prima Luna Pre The Mystere and Prima Luna Dialogue line are 'essentially' the same. The PL prologue series is a step down for sure.I've heard both the Mystere and Prima Luna products - very nice I must say, although probably 'average' at their price point. I hav... | |
| looking for a good tubed dac Eastern Electric MiniMax DAC. Nothing comes close for the money | |
| Monster Home Theater Power Center? I used to have an old API wedge conditioner which seemed worse than plugging directly into the wall when I dug it out of the closet recently. Sold it and got a PS audio duet. Much better.... The quintet costs a little more if you have more than 2 ... | |
| Thoughts about the new MacMini & Lion OS I've been running Lion with iTunes and PureMusic for a few hours now. No problems - sound quality unchanged as far as I can tell. | |
| Thoughts about the new MacMini & Lion OS I just downloaded Lion to my iMac. I don't see any obvious impact with iTunes 4 which downloads also.But there may be something lurking below the surface? | |

| Advice for friend putting together a surround sys. Have a look at the NAD T747 (around $600) and a Totem Dreamcatcher set ( 5 speakers and sub). Would be great for music also.Alternatively, you could piece together a set of speakers used, as long as the front 3 match. Too many choices to even begi... | |
| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... Typically it makes sense to go with speakers first - agreed.However, depending on your situation (ie., when your amp is already outclassed), might make sense to deviate from the rule, especially if you are not planning on starting over from scratc... | |
| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... Roger, I think you are looking at speakers that outclass your HT receiver, by a lot.Personally, I'd be inclined to upgrade your HT receiver first, then decide on a speaker upgrade if necessary. Speaker choice is a personal thing, but whatever you ... | |
| Killer Kitchen System under $800 or so? My wife is using a Teac Reference mini all in one (CD, Internet radio, integrated) in her office that costs about $500 . Quite impressive for the price. A cheap used DAC and a pair of speakers and you are ready to go. | |
| Sub woofer that excels at the mid bass wanted I'm using a Velodyne Optimum 8 and crossing over at 100hz. Works very well for me. | |
| tv as a pre-amp? In practise it will work. In all likelihood it will sound terrible as the pre-amp in the TV is likely worth about $1.50. ANY outboard pre-amp will be much better.But give it a shot and see what happens - it won't hurt anything. |
