| Best 5 engineered rock albums? Mine are all original releases.... although not necessarily the first time this artist has recorded these songs. | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? I assume you mean audiophile quality recordings:Chris Isaak - Baja SessionsDire Straits - Brothers in ArmsEagles - Hell Freezes Over (also truly outstanding on DVD)Fleetwood Mac - the Dance (also excellent on DVD)Roy Orbison - Black and White Nigh... | |
| Recs for HT upgrade? Todd,I would caution you on the Theta CasaNova. I helped a friend buy one here on AudiogoN since he could not afford and AVP. It sounds great, but is very difficult to program and use, including a very poor remote control. It is a very complex unit. | |
| Recs for HT upgrade? I love my Proceed AVP processor, which is upgradable. It is 8 channels, all 24/96 and programmable for any format. The L,R,and C are balanced. The companion piece is the Proceed MDT transport which offers a very special progressive scan upsampler,... | |
| Input Level for analog signals on Proceed AVP? I have an AVP and only use the digital inputs. Why don't you try the digital connection and just use the Meridian as a transport? I think you are using the digital to analog circuits in your cd player, then the analog to digital on the AVP and the... | |
| Shakti Stone/Online Near Pentium CPU's I have not tried this, but having been in the computer industry for 25 years I know that most everything on your motherboard, especially the CPU is clocked. Even if the Shakti stone could improve the performance of the circuitry, someone would hav... | |
| BEST REAR PROJECTION HDTV?? I think thats wonderful that the store will match your internet quote!! Now you're getting somewhere.... I would be surprised if the Elite isn't as bright or detailed. Got to wonder if it needed a little adjustment. I actually have my "sharpness" ... | |
| Revel Gem/ B&W 802 There are gems available under $5000 all the time, with some pairs going for $3700. When I owned mine, I already had a subwoofer which helped, but I think you would be surprised at how much bass you get from them. Their clarity is absolutely super... | |
| Revel Gem/ B&W 802 The Gems sound more natural and transparent. I have a friend who replaced his 802's with Gems and loves them. | |
| BEST REAR PROJECTION HDTV?? I think the Pioneer Elite is still considered the best, although the Platinum series Mistubishi is close. There is someone here on AudiogoN usually selling brand new Elites for wholesale prices. | |
| I need help with DTS Your DVD player needs to be able to recognize and pass the DTS signal through. It doesn't need to be able to decode it because you have a receiver that will decode it. Some of the earlier DVD players did not pass DTS properly. You always want to u... | |
| Exchange Krell KAV-250a for a Pass Labs X-350? Dale,Ok, you got me there.... I didn't realize the Silverline was a different product line. I've owned other NAD products in the past (cd player, amp, receiver) and found them to be good values, but not "high-end". now I know something new. | |
| Exchange Krell KAV-250a for a Pass Labs X-350? I agree with Gregm: the Pass is probably the better sounding amp, and IMO, if its available to you for the ease of a swap, I'd do it. However, I'd guess you'll notice a bigger difference by upgrading your preamp. NAD is ok but not in the same leag... | |
| B&W 802 or REVEL STUDIO/KRELL FBP-200C I'm running my Studios with a Pass Labs Aleph 4 amp (100w/ch) and they constantly amaze me at how natural they sound. Revel claims the Studios are very neutral. | |
