TAD-803 2 way speaker review
Wow Azstereo! You seem to be a "one man marketing department" for e-Ticket Cables as about half of all of you post are touting that brand. And a guy comes along suggesting he is thrilled with a $129 speaker purchase and you call him a shill......W... 
Why so much music for sale?
Jond may be onto something! Have you heard of the automobile SPL competition where they just play a tone and test for max SPL inside the car? The systems aren't even designed to play music.Enjoy,TIC 
Why so much music for sale?
Music was an old "flavor or the month". Folks are ditching their old music to buy gasoline so they can listen for free on their car radios.....Enjoy,TIC 
How to use stand alone pre-amp with HT?
Jack,I'm not really familiar with any of the components you currently own, but I can tell you how to implement a system using a dedicated pre-amp integrated into your HT.You would not want to use the tape loop of the Arcam. First, acquire a pre-am... 
Good Preamp with Digital Input
Mike, By nature, a pre-amp would generally not include a digital input. Typically a pre-amp is an analog device and a digital input would indicate that you need a DAC inside the pre-amp.There are some all digital preamps that have digital inputs, ... 
Why shouldn't I bi-wire Wilson Watt/Puppies 6
" I don't want to have to wait to talk to Wilson on Tues before playing some tunes! "Why wait? Just connect one run of your Nordost cables and cap of the other set to insure you don't shot something out. Then talk to Wilson when you get a chance.E... 
How come DAC and Cable dont mix?
Chad,The TW box outputs Dolby Digital 2.0, 2.1 or 5.1. This is not compatable with a DAC that requires PCM input.I've tried several different STBs from TW and none of them are configurable for PCM. Sorry, but it ain't gonna work!TIC 
Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars
LKdog,For bi-amping, you will either need another amp with the same sensitivity as the A300, or you would need an active crossover of some kind that would allow you to match the volume from the two amps.I'm not a bi-ammping expert, but I do know t... 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
Hammer,Changing your system to make great recordings sound OK and poor recording sound OK is possible. It is a compromise that many audiophiles are willing to make in order to enjoy more of there music collection.I have never had the Krell, B&... 
What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?
Steve,I didn't even know there was such a thing as slow mode. So, unfortunately, I don't know. I sold the Sony a couple of years ago.Oh, and you did not mod it. It was mod'd by one of the mod'rs popular on this site, but will remain nameless!TIC 
What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?
Gm,I wasn't trying to imply that anyone else's setup should behave as mine did. I was just stating that the Sony DVP-S7700 that was mentioned several times did not work well in my setup. The two dedicated players I owned at that same time were bot... 
What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?
I had a Sony DVP-S7700 that was mod'd specifically for Transport duties. Personally, the Cary CD-308 and Theta Miles that I owned at the same time smoked the mod'd Sony when used as a transport. In my system the Sony made my digital front end soun...

What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?
Warner,I don't think there is necessarily a technical reason why a DVD player or a changer is an inferior transport. Typically I think the reason is simple economics.Obviously a DVD player and/or a changer has more complexity than a dedicated CD p...
