| 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 | |
| A tip for Panasonic PT-AE700 owners Excellent information for someone that owns this model. If you want to get this message out to a broader audience, you may want to post this info on the projector forum at www.AVSforum.com.Thanks,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... | |
| Advice on Arcam South,I've owned the Arcam Alpha 9 and Alpha 10. I liked the 10 much more than the 9, but the 9 was certainly adequate. Unfortunately I can't tell how the Alphas will work with Epos since I've never heard the combo.At the used price of around $500... | |
| Best DVD Player for Under $200 Doug,Thanks for setting the record straight about Oppo's picture quality vs. those expensive players.Oppo was out of stock, but my father-in-law just received his brand new one yesterday, so a "ship-load" must have arrived from China last week.I'l... | |
| Multi channel preamps For 5.1 pre-amp, check out the Margules Daleth from Margules Audio's Magenta line.Another interesting multi-channel option could be the Linar Model 10 5.1 channel Integrated Amp. I would love to hear one of these!Enjoy,TIC |
