| Outstanding 5.1 pre/pro with comp. video switch'g I use a denon 3805 and it is awesome. I know it is a receiver but they can be had for about $600 and it does 7.1 dolby ex dts etc.... You could use the 2805 since you do not need the amps. | |
| Center channel distance you said you have a hdtv is it a tube? or crt or lcd? if it is a crt you can mostlikely put it close, if it is a lcd doesn't matter if it is a tube they are teh most sensitive. also depends on the size of the magnet on the speaker and you can put ... | |
| Can a simple DIY volume knob replace a pre-amp? I know most of the better pre amps don't use a volume pot or know because it effects the sound as stated above. The better way to do this is with a multiposition slide switch and a bunch of resisters. This is what AR does int he sp-16 pre amp. Mos... | |
| Power Cords All depends on the equipnment. But for analog equipnment and tube stuff I have found benifits for my solid state recever didn't help much. | |
| center channel speakers --- low height If you have to toe toe your speakers something is wrong. If your speakers are decent and set up right they should image fine to produce a phantom center. If you have to start playing with position your soundstage is not correct. When you play a cd... | |
| Rumor - Vandersteen 5 Upgrade Price Increase are they changing the 5A or just raising the price. | |
| center channel speakers --- low height You need your center to match your mains. This would be a major mistake if it didn't. Matching the sourounds is even better but now as important. | |
| XLR or RCA for Odyssey Stratos amp I can't answer your question but I would wire XLR that way if you ever upgrade you are ready. | |
| Theater color Never herd green was best but anything dark and flat should be fine. dark burgandy is the most popular think or real theorthers blue I have also seen. never seen green might be nice though. | |
| Parasound JC1 and Vandersteen? I have 5a and am running kimber grate for the mids and high although I think I am going to switch to audioquest. every vandersteen I have herd with the audioquest just seems to be a grate match. The sky is even used in the crossover you are using.... | |
| Parasound JC1 and Vandersteen? Which vandersteen? | |
| Problem with AC and how to solve it Some sort of regenerator is worth it. Solves all sorts of issues and just makes things sound better. If you can hear the noise 10' away just think about the stuff you can't hear that is effecting sound. Ps audio seems to be the most popular. | |
| Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000 How about a Asteix Clyspo if you can get your hands on one, just read some reviews. Or I also like the better AR. | |
| buyer beware of late Yea got burned once. It's hard to tell this guy sold a bunch of small stuff and I was the one that bought something big. I really with Audiogon would list the cost or approximate cost of things you bought and sold or just what the item is so you c... | |
| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? This is a tuff question because the best updgrade is alwas the weekest link in the system. For some it is speakes for me it was my pre amp I went from a ARsp16 toa asteix clyspo. What a difference. |
