| Rock albums that sound good on your system? The regular albums are great, but the XRCD2 versions of "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits and "Hell Freezes Over" by Eagles are truly outstanding. Other great regular cds are SuperTramp's "Crime of the Century", "who's Next" (mentioned above), "B... | |
| Proceed PMDT v. Cary, EMC1, Capitole, Muse Thalia An MDT should sound great throught the CasaNova. I'm using mine through a Proceed AVP for both HT and great hifi. | |
| Best way to organize 6000 albums? You need to watch the movie: High Fidelity. The lead character owns a record store and has several ideas of how to arrange his albums. Its a hoot. | |
| Do CD-R's play on your player? If no, why not? I'll try an audio CR-R and also a CD-RW. I've even bought a "production" CD-r (I assume) of the Buckingham Nicks album. It looks like a regular CD with orignial graphics on the cd and jewel case. All of them cause the PMDT to say "no disc" on the ... | |
| which direction do this cable go? Iv'e heard that when in doubt the signal should flow in the direction of the lettering on the cable. I agree with Tigger, it will settle into which ever direction you use. | |
| Proceed AVP vs. Sim Attraction vs. Theta Casa Nova Rap,I might not have been clear: When the system comes from the factory, it is set to "everything reset to defaults on power off, including all inputs". You must turn this feature "off" and then it will always keep your settings (as you would expe... | |
| Why don't DVD players -TV monitors upgrade PCord The high end dvd players have iec connectors (e.g.Proceed). My Pioneer Elite RPTV just had a hard wired lamp cord .... bummer. So, I took the back off, unsoldered the cord and soldered an IEC female connector in its place and used a good PC. I rea... | |
| Anyone Using Kimber Bifocal-X or Xl on Classe/B&W? I tried BiFocal XL with my Pass amp and Revel speakers and was very disappointed. It surely wasn't an expectation issue since I had liked the simple twisted models for my cheaper applications in the past and was very impressed with the constructio... | |
| Stupid question about Revel speakers At first there were only Ultima models so people didn't mention that part of the names, just Studios or Gems and Salons. Now there is the cheaper Performa line as well and people are using the whole name. (not that it matters since none of the nam... | |
| Replace Velodyne HGS-18s with Revel B-15s? I have the Ultima system with studios, voice, and embraces. They are wonderful. The timbre matching between everything is seamless. I had a Velodyne HGS12 (not comparable to the -18) and bought the ultima LE-1 + 2 subs. Its beyond my expectations.... | |
| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Geeze, I would hate to think what my Revel speakers would cost if Madrigal spent as much on marketing as Bose!!!! Look at how expensive those pitiful sounding Bose systems are! I remember sitting in the Bose HT suite at CES a few years ago. They a... | |
| Proceed AVP vs. Sim Attraction vs. Theta Casa Nova I have an AVP and love it. My friend could not afford one at the time so we got him a Casa Nova. I don't recommend it. It was so difficult and non-intuitive to use, with a horrible remote control. btw; If you do get a Casa Nova, the factory defaul... | |
| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? I've had Revel Studios for over a year, and they have never sounded fatiging, even listening for hours at a time. | |
| Revel Salons or Studios? I'm using Studios in a 20x25x9 room and wish it was twice as big to really get to listen to them. | |
| How much power needed for Revel Studios? I'm powering them with a Pass Labs Aleph 4 (100w/ch, 8 ohms) and they sound wonderful. I would blow up my room (20x25ft) before distortion. The vt200 ought to be more than enough power. You might consider the Pass amp before going to tubes. The Al... |
