Next time you play the "CD" you don't have to burn it again. Its already on the hard-drive.Here's a like to a mod'd one available now on AudiogoN:http... | |
| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? Jeff,HT bypass is not required, it is just a bit more convenient. You can do the same thing using an integrated without HT bypass. You simply use an unused set of inputs, i.e. AUX, tuner, etc. and connect the L&R front pre-outs from the receiv... | |
| Continuation Best Small budget speakers for girlfr Pedrillo,Did you ever mention what amp would be driving them? If you don't already own an amp, any of the actives start making even more sense. Also, if she has space limitations you really need to decide if rear ported speakers are even appropria... | |

| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Hey Cincinnati Audiophiles,Are you planning to attend the AKfest 2008 in Detroit? For those who don't know, AKfest is a small audio show that is gaining quite a bit of recognition. This year the Fest has moved to a new location at the Embassy Suit... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Scot,Welcome aboard! BTW, you are not unique in thinking there are no other audiophiles in Cincinnati! Had it not been for stumbling upon this thread a few years ago, I would not have met even half of the audiophiles I now know.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Best Small budget speakers for girlfriend Pedrillo,Where would she be placing the speakers? On a shelf, on a stand? I think some of the recommendations (including mine) would not be good if she plans to place the speakers on a shelf or inside of a wall unit. You mentioned that her living ... | |
| Best Small budget speakers for girlfriend Pedrillo,The Oppo players have remote controlled variable volume control. So, the smallest, most simple system is the Oppo connected directly to a pair of power/active monitors. I'm using this setup with a pair of Quad 12L Actives, but they are re... | |
| HT Receiver recommendation Stuart,I wouldn't necessarily recommend a used HT receiver unless you really need to stay within a budget or you can find a very recent vintage receiver on the used market. The new receivers have HDMI input/output, auto-calibration (including room... | |
| 1970's Jan,Cool for you! I really hope you enjoy them. I do often, including listening to the live record via my iPod shuffle when I travel. I always get off the plane in a good mood....Happy listening,TIC | |
| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? Jeff,If you plan to have a combo 2-channel/HT system and demand good 2-channel sound (I think you do since you are investing in the N803s), the first step is ALWAYS build a great 2-channel system first. That said, you can get a high quality integr... | |
| Receiver with Audyssey I've owned various Sony ES, Pioneer, Denon, B&K and Onkyo HT receivers over the last several years. I currently own the Onkyo TX-SR703 (2 versions back predecessor to the current TX-SR705) and think it is fantastic. My father-in-law just bough... | |
| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular Johnk,I couldn't agree more. Lots of baby steps toward hi-eff/medium-hi eff. many of which are not horn designs. Some of these designs are so good for the price that people are jumping on the bandwagon as it is an inexpensive starting point into t... | |
| 1970's Jan,A lot of The Tubes stuff has been rereleased in the last couple of years.The live record "What do you want from Live!" is a CLASSIC! It sounds great and it is really a lot of fun, especially if you experienced the real thing and have a visual ... |
