| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa The systems recommended by Jamesw20 and Fplanner2000 are variations on the "combo system" that I recommended. My recommendation uses a receiver for HT processing and powering the center and surrounds. James recommendation uses a quality processor ... | |
| 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... | |

| 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.

| 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 I think all 3 have been replaced by newer models though.I have a Sony DVP-NS775V that is not bad.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... |
