| Input on DVD players Ken,The Sony and the Onkyo are great players, however you would be paying top dollar for functionality you can't use.The Sony is know for it's excellent SACD playback when connected with a Sony Digital Receiver via its iLink connection. This creat... | |
| advice re stand mounted speakers MrT,I haven't hear the NHT3, but I have never heard another NHT speaker that I would describe as meeting your requirement.I have a pair of original Reference 3A MM DeCapos that sound like what you desire. The highs from the silk done tweeter are e... | |
| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa Elevick,You totally missed the point of a combo system when you said "They end up processing music through a mediocre receiver and then run it on a really nice 2 channel rig-it degrades the sound.".In the system I described there is ZERO possibili... | |
| Intergrated or Solid State Whats The Difference ? Hap,To get back to this thread, simply go to "mypage" link at the very top of any AudiogoN page. Once you sign-in using your user name and password, you will see a link under tools called "forum Threads". Click on that and you will get a list of t... | |
| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa The setup Bdgregory describes is a good option. I participated in the thread that he referenced and agree that it is a good way of doing things, especially if your priority is a "no compromise" 2-channel system, but one that will also do HT.I call... | |
| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa I think a Linar model 10 multi-channel integrated amp and a quality universal player would be a cool setup.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Use a seperate DAC with a Sony SCD-C2000ES I have seen the 2000ES listed at OadeBrothers as a mod candidate and I think I have seen mention of TRL (tube research labs) performing mods on that model. I'm sure there are others around too.I would suggest that you create a new post asking "who... | |
| Intergrated or Solid State Whats The Difference ? Hap,Keep reading, it will start making sense to you in a while. Concerning your questions:An integrated amp is a pre-amp and a power amp built in one chassis. A solid state amp uses transistors for amplification and a tube amp uses tubes for that ... | |
| Use a seperate DAC with a Sony SCD-C2000ES mj,The problem with adding a DAC is that it will only work on regular redbook CDs, not SACD. One of the benefits of the Sony SCD-C2000ES is that it has pretty good SACD performance.You might want to consider having the Sony mod'd if you desire bet... | |
| HDTV & current DVD players - What do WE do? DB,In your post you specifically mention the Oppo Player, HDTV and component video. Here are my thoughts on this combination:The Oppo is supposed to have the best picture quality of any DVD player ever tested by "Secrets of Home Theater" when conn... | |

| Any good $100 DVD players. Ken,I've read lots of good things about the 3 that Usblues mentioned. I think all 3 have been replaced by newer models though.I have a Sony DVP-NS775V that is not bad. It also has the benefit of SACD playback if you have any desire to try that for... | |
| You too can own your own record/stereo shop I like your story! It seems that your booth fullfills a few needs. You get first dibs on the stuff, you make a little money, you get to enjoy your hobby and might even meet some interesting people. However, beware of the old trap! Most people I kn... | |
| Single play or multi play digital players. Ken,I think there are two factors that contribute to the idea that "more sought out players are single play units".First, at the same price point, it would seem that more attention and dollars are paid to sonics in a single play unit because there... | |
| Point me in the right direction Bigken,If the Onkyo is still working, there is no reason why you can't still use it. You can simply buy a DVD player and connect it via L&R RCA analog outputs to any of the available inputs on the Onkyo (like CD). You would need to go into the... |
