| "Commercial" plasma screens the real deal for HT? The street price on the Commercial version of the Panasonic EDTV plasma has dropped below $1500 and I've seen it as low as $1249, plus $249 for shipping from a web-vendor. That is a stellar price on this unit!Enjoy,TIC | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Ebkesq,That's funny. I've been truely surprised at some of the Muzak remakes. It makes me wonder who is doing the selection process. Enjoy,TIC | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Where do you guys live that anything by The Bottle Rockets is considered a "hit". I like both of the songs your guys mentioned and I bought that CD based on airplay on my local public radio station, but it was far from a hit.I seriously doubt that... | |
| Best pre-owned subs below $1k? Kitchener,You might just want to check out the subs from NHT. I own the SubOne(i) and I think it is terrrific in my room for either movies or music (although I don't use it with my 2-channel system, just the HT system).The one I have is a front fi... | |
| 12yr old NAD receiver or new? I agree with Sean. However, if you really want something new, I could make a great recommendation.The Sharp SD-EX111 is a small "all-in-one" executive type unit. It has a tuner and CD player built-in as well as a 2-channel "Digital Amplifier". The... | |
| How does "HT Direct" work on Musical Fidelity A5? With any HT system, the various different speakers (5.1, 6.1, etc.) need to be "calibrated" to a pre-defined level. You do this by outputting a test tone on the HT receiver and increasing/decreasing the volume for a particular speaker so it matche... | |
| "Commercial" plasma screens the real deal for HT? Beheme,I own the consumer version of the current Panasonic 42" EDTV Plasma. I really like it. The commercial version has the same picture quality, but loses the table stand, speakers, hi-def tuner and cable tv tuner. If you don't need those featur... | |
| How does "HT Direct" work on Musical Fidelity A5? If the A5 is an integrated amp, you simply use the A5 to power your main L&R speakers and as the pre-amp for your music source. You then connect the L&R main pre-outs from the receiver into the A5s HT/processor input. When you listen to 2-... | |
| Advice on Cary CD Players or other options. Hey Kid,When I sold my Cary CD-308, I went with a Quad 99 CDP. It is a very good sounding player and cost the same as the CD-308. I prefer it over the CD-308 as it is a bit more analog sounding and it has 6 digital inputs, so you can add digital s... | |
| Is the Denon DVD-2910 a Good DVD Player??? Another one that has gotten good reviews is the Sony DVP-NS975. It is also supposed to be a credible SACD player. It did very well in the "secrets Shootout".Go to www.ecoustics.com to read all available reviews of all audio/video components. Selec... | |
| Economy amps from Channel, Nixon, etc? Cdc,The CIaudio VMB-1's are a lot more expensive than the Samson at $999 direct from Dusty. The SN amps are a bit less expensive, but a far cry more than $189.I'm not a betting man, but I would guess that the Samson sounds more like the Adcom than... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Well, my Reference 3A MM DeCapos have been in my system longer than any other component and I don't actively look at speaker ads with any kind of intent, so I guess they qualify.I was luck enough to buy a perfect pair about 3 years ago for $1000. ... | |
| Economy amps from Channel, Nixon, etc? I have the Channel Islands VMB-1 mono-blocks and they are really good sounding amps. I have owned amps that cost twice as much but didn't sound nearly as good to my ears.I was tempted last week by a pair of Scott Nixon mono-blocks that showed up h... | |
| Variable output cd players John,I've owned several players with varible output. I like this setup as it allows me to afford a much better player because I'm not spending big-bucks on a quality pre-amp.I've owned all of these:Theta Miles (no longer sold)Resolution Audio Opus... | |
| Best Budget system? $500-$750 tops Jh2os,If you are looking for a pair of really inexpensive speakers, I see that BestBuy has the Athena AS-B1 on sale for $119/pr. right now. I just bought a pair. Out of the box they are unoffensive and show some promise. I know this line of speake... |
