| HRT Streamer+ Art:To quickly summarize my opinion on it without trying to be overly negative (and honestly, I thought it was a really great product for $150 - there's no question if I was shopping in that price range I'd be impressed), I found it to be a little... | |
| HRT music streamer +II 24 bit anyone? No, I mean I bought the Music Streamer II for $149, since everywhere has the Music Streamer II+ in limited availability or for pre-order only (even that web site you pointed out says limited availability.) Anyway, I just bought it to try out. Whil... | |
| HRT music streamer +II 24 bit anyone? I've just bought the II to try out since the II+ wasn't available. Everywhere I've seen it listed says "pre-order" only right now. | |
| Adcom 585 Be Mono? I don't believe you can do that. The only thing I can possibly think of is bi-amp'ing with a pair of 585's (not that I'd recommend it, but..)Using a pair of RCA splitters coming off your pre-amp, you plug in two sets of RCA cables for each channel... | |
| HRT Streamer+ I just bought the HRT Music Streamer II (since the II+ is not out yet) for the fun of it. Honestly, I wanted to see what all the hype is about using a Mac Mini as a music server with iTunes (w/Apple Lossless). Well, for the price, it's a pretty am... | |
| "New" AP Virgo spk: Improved or Diminished ?? Do a search in the archives for "Virgo", and you should find quite a bit of information on them. There were also quite a few responses to your previous post regarding these speakers in Dec. 2001. In addition, since then I've read a lot of comparis... | |
| Are you a D.I.Y? Yes, I'm definitely a DIYer. I've done quite a few projects over the past several years. Anything as simple as adding network card and more memory to my Tivo to much more difficult projects such as installing an LC Audio ZAPfilter Mk. II/LClock XO... | |
| getting a little obsessed with my first purchase You could come VERY close to your price range and have a killer setup with a pair of GR Research Paradox 1's and an Adire Rava Subwoofer. It's a great combination that would give you a full range frequency response. The imaging should be excellent... | |
| How to fix B&W 800's? I suggest you just call B&W @ (978)664-2870. Just ask for the service department. They can tell you if the drivers are available or not. Perhaps even consult a tech. for you on a possible replacement if they don't have any. I actually needed t... | |
| GRANITE 657 CDP anybody heard it? Trelja- Give the #657 an audition, I feel it is in an entirely different league than the #650 that you need to re-audition it. I listened to the output stage for the #650 just for fun one day, and I quickly switched back. The difference is that dr... | |
| GRANITE 657 CDP anybody heard it? I actually bought a Granite Audio #657 Tube output CD Player the end of last year just after it came out. I originally passed on the opportunity to buy one of the first #650's, and I'm glad I did as the tube output stage is much much better. The #... | |
| Shipping Egglestons without boxes I do a lot of shipping of large computer equipment/racks throughout the year for my company. The only way I know of to prevent damage is use a DEDICATED truck from a commercial freight division such as Mayflower, North American, Allied, etc. (make... | |
| Audio Physic's "New" Virgo---Better?? How So?? I have to agree that the Virgo III is definitely better than the original Virgo. I think there is a lot to be said for the new ring radiator tweeter they use now. In addition, I found the mids to be very smooth and detailed.All the reports of bein... | |
| Verity's Fidelio vs Coincident's Total Eclipse I have to agree with the previous post that the Audio Physic Avanti III were much better than the Fidelio's. I haven't heard the Coincidents, so I can't comment. I also ended up buying the Audio Physic Avanti III's.The Coincident's have one advant... | |
| Bryston BP1.5 Best Phono Stage Under 2000? I would also recommend the Sonic Froniters Phono 1. I ended up buying one over the Audio Research PH3. Not that the Audio Research isn't a great unit (it is and should also be a consideration), but I personally liked the Sonic Frontiers unit bette... |
