HELP I need Speaker Recommendation? w/set up
Considering it is a business and will have foot traffic, I would suggest you get a speaker that can be wall mounted. Many bookshelf type speakers are made to have mounting hardware attached to the back, so you could go that route. Or you could go ... 
LCD TV's Digital toslink Out
Steve, it probably will not work. The issue is that the hi-res channels are probably outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 or even DD2.0 and not a stereo PCM digital signal used by your DAC.If you can configure your TV to only output PCM, that would solve ... 
Tivoli Radio???
I have a tivoli PAL and think it is great. It is the portable battery powered version of the Tivoli radio. Although it only has a single speaker, you can use it as a seperate tuner in a stereo system as the mini-output is stereo. The tuner is much... 
Phono preamp and Turntable
Used Basis 1400 with the stock arm (I think it is a modified Rega RB-250) and a decent cartridge. They seem to sell for about $1200-1600 used for the full package, minus a phono pre-amp. That would leave you $400-$800 for the phono pre-amp of your... 
Choosing speakers for room w/ obstructing sofas
Maybe one of the omni-directional speakers would be a good fit. They supposedly fill a room with sound and are not supposed to be room dependant. Many of them seem to have an upward firing woofer/mid-woofer.I saw an ad today for the Morel Chorus a... 
Can the RA Opus 21 rock better than a Wadia?
Hi Raymond,I haven't heard the Wadia's so I can't really compare them, but I have owned a couple of Resolution Audio Opus 21's so I can provide an opinion of it.The RA Opus 21 is a very good CD player IMHO. I've owned 5 or 6 different high-end CD ... 
Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less
Earnrg,I wasn't really referring to studio monitors. I was using the term "monitor" instead of stand-mount or bookshelf speaker.Currently my speakers are Reference 3A MM DeCapo. They sound very good in my nearfield setup. I've also used many other... 
Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less
Nsgarch,I agree with you! If you can keep your system to a nearfield setup, you can build a great sounding system for WAY under $10,000. Heck, I'll bet you can build a great sounding system for under $3000 if you buy used.I have a nearfield setup ... 
VCR for analog TV as well as HDTV
Eldartford,I haven't heard of anyone recording Audio on a stereo VHS tape since about 1987. It was a popular concept back then....Enjoy,TIC 
VCR for analog TV as well as HDTV
Nshashidhar is correct. There are hi-Def VCRs too. However, they are expensive. The ones I usually see are about $400-$500. I did just recently see one on closeout at Circuit City for $100 open box. It might be worth a look.TIC

HD Upsampling DVD Players
Teo,I can't answer specifically if an upsampling CD player will have better video quality than the TVs scaler. However, I'm guessing that the Upsampling DVD player will be better if configured properly.The Oppo 971 is $199 direct from Oppo and it ... 
VCR for analog TV as well as HDTV
They will all work. I have never seen a flat panel TV that did not include either a coax connection or an composite video connection that would support a VCR. However, you will likely not be thrilled with the video quality of VHS when watched on a... 
Nice looking - for living room?
24phun,Personally, I don't think you need a pre-amp if you get a quality CD player that was really designed to work well connected directly to an amp. The Resolution Audio Opus 21 really sounds great connected directly to an amp and the added tran... 
Nice looking - for living room?
You have lots of options, but you will first need to decide on the speaker in order to determine what kind of amplification you need. For instance, there are lots of great amplifiers that are nearly invisible, like the Redwine Clari-T or Scott Nix...
