| Bah Humbug-Bad Christmas Music Add Josh Groban to the list. It takes him ten minutes to sing what most artists can sing in five! | |

| Good DACs for Apple Airport Express? Or receivers? I plan to run a similar setup for my office. I've spent countless hours looking and researching for some older quality gear that I can use for an inexpensive office system. My conclusion is that an older HT receiver is really quite a value when yo... | |
| Is new better than old? I think it depends on your goals and intent.I'm discovering that old is just fine and a bargain too. I picked up a pair of Boston Acoustics A-40s to use in my office. When I re-foamed the drivers, I noticed the drivers were dated 1984. The re-foam... | |
| Passive radiators, ext crossovers & subwoofers Thanks everyone for your responses. This has been helpful. | |
| What are we really trying to replicate? For me, it isn't about the volume, it's about the clarity and accuracy. Live un-amplified sound has a physical characteristic to it. My ideal system would be the one that best replicates this physical presence. Hence I look for dynamics, vocals, p... | |
| Multi zone amps Are you looking for an integrated amp or do you already have a preamp?I noticed that the LM1 is rated at 8 ohms but I'm puzzled by the "(minimum 3 ohms)" phrase in the spec sheet. If these speakers occasionally dip down to 3 ohms, that will be a p... | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Once again, I say thanks to the experts who are willing to take the time to educate the rest of us. I haven't read the links in detail yet, but I surely will. I have a NAD C162/C272 preamp/amp combo driving a pair of Aerial Acoustics Model 7s. I h... | |

| Recommend me a DAC for 300 I suggest considering Monarchy Audio. Might be over your $300 budget but giving Mr. Poon a call is definitely worth the time.FWIW - I'm using a Monarchy Audio M-22A with the NAD 162/272 combo. I should disclose that the DAC I have has been upgrade... | |
| What should I upgrade first? I thought I would follow up with regards to my purchases. I ended up purchasing the Oppo 980H and a stand alone DAC from Monarchy, an upgraded M-22. The Oppo improved the simplicity of my system by allowing one unit to play all forms of CDs/DVDs. ... | |
| Speakers and TT for NAD 3020 Micro-Budget System? A mint NAD 3020 for $40 is a good find!I recently picked up a pair of Polk Model 7s that I saw on CL. I have them paired with a NAD 3125 and I like the combination quite well, especially considering the price. In my opinion, the model 7s are suffi... | |
| A/B speaker switching - advantage? Speaker load may be a problem for the amp which could adversely affect it's performance. Read the fine print to make sure your amp can handle the speaker load you plan on giving it. | |
| Upgrading Home Theater speakers. Need some help. Perhaps you could consider the MK 150thx system (formerly Miller & Kreisel). See www.mksoundsystem.comMy home theater system is comprised of S100Bs and S85s. Aside from being a satisfied customer, I have no affiliation with M&K or MKSound. | |
| Moving to Europe, mixing 220 and 110 powered units The cycle rate (60 vs 50) could be a factor that even the converter may not resolve.I'm no expert but that is a question I would ask of an expert. Perhaps one of the electrical engineers could answer this question for you. |
