| End of Snell Acoustics? Despite their demise, I'm strongly tempted to get a pair of Snell B's to replace my thiel 2.3's. Do any of you Snell guys have any experience with the B's? I need a strong corner speaker, and those things are huge..any thoughts would be appreciated.. | |
| Best Processor around 1500.00 The Cary Cinema 11 (not 11a) is selling in that range, and is considered to be excellent. Good choice 'til the bugs drop off the newer players with the latest codecs...or, for just about $700, you can get a Cary cinema 6, which has great sound and... | |
| Best Blu-Ray for 7.1 Analog I have a deposit down on an 09FD. My dealer gave me a shiny new brochure with some great pictures, including a breakdown of the analogue audio board and separate analogue audio power supply. I have a Cary cinema 6 prepro, which has two sets of 7.1... | |
| Universal Remote for Dummies Thanks Wireless for the website. I'm going to spend some time there. And the Theatermaster reminds me of the remote which came with my old Acurus ACT 3..the ergonomics, I mean. I think the EAD rc2000 remote is a marantz, actually. Greg Noble at EA... | |
| Magnepans and cats, do they mix? Claws alone are not the only problem. the rear paws can dent a driver very nicely when a feline hops up on top of a non-maggie type speaker like my thiels..I've sent two drivers back to be repaired, so maggie owners are not alone. I'm on my way to... | |
| How did you get into vinyl? In the early 80's, which was also the early days of cd's, I ran onto a little publication called "the absolute sound", which was big on vinyl and anti "digital" in every form. I sent an AR turntable to Memphis to have it modded by the Underground ... | |
| Audiogon "Recordings to Die for" a complete summary Charley Haden & Pat Methany,"Beyond the Missouri Sky"; Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers; blue note 4003-"Moanin'" Charles Mingus, "Ah Uhm". And John Prine: anything. | |
| The AR turntable Ditto Armstrod..I am waiting for an AR AX rebuilt/modded by Dave at Vinylnirvana.com ; if you already have a nice the ar tt, he's the Go To guy. | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it ER, I meant XA. that's AR XA.. | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it OK, I rested for awhile and then snapped and bought a modded AR AX from david at vinylnirvana.com. He's adding a Rega 250 arm and Ortofon OM 30 cartridge. Now I'll see if I can find some vinyl, and join you guys for awhile. Just like an alcoholic,... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it I'm stepping back from the precipice for awhile. Whew. That was close. You guys are fascinating. Thanks for the shared experience and excellent advice. I can't believe I generated such a long thread. I'll start another one when I fall off. thanks ... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Indeed they are. I had an AES djh signature pre, which matched up nicely with the thiels. Of course, I couldn't stand prosperity, and traded it back to upscale audio for a Cary cinema 6, which I sold after I finally bit on an EAD Ovation +, which ... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it So for $5,000, I can get a cd player that'll stay with a $1500 TT...? | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Some of these turntables you guys have posted here would never make it through an airport metal detector..bomb scare!... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Well, I like the czccbl (sounds like a polish name I once tried to pronounce in Chicago and got the door slammed in my face)approach. I can get a great AR mod, do the memory lane thing, buy some old jazz records, and then jump off the vinyl cliff ... |
