| High speed internet via electrical power lines Ed,It is already in use here in Cincinnati. We have a provider of BroadBand over PowerLines and it actually works very well. It was not offered as a trial or a pilot. It is full fledged, ongoing business AFAIK.I don't know how it may affect audio ... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? Hummm,I don't think I want to tell this crowd! They may snap it up before I see it.I'm currently looking for one CD that I own on vinyl (no TT at the moment). It was a semi-popular release in 1985, but went OOP on CD. I've seen 3 examples sell on ... | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers Tpk123,You mentioned "older" amps, but the two Monarchy amps that you mentioned are still current products. You don't mention what speaker you will be using. The Monarchy Audio SM-70 or SM-70 Pro are only about 25-30 watts/channel in stereo mode. ... | |
| Moved from 2 channel to Home Theatre - Regrets? Hey Jack,I own the Quad 99 CDP and run it direct into a pair of Channel Islands VMB-1 monoblock amps and run a pair of Reference 3A MM DeCapo monitors. In the same room and on the same lowboy audio rack I have a multi-channel HT system consisting ... | |
| Sony S7700, S7000, or ??? best low cost transport? Audioengr,My 7700 was mod'd by one of the mod'rs mentioned in your post. It did not have bybees as far as I know. I bought it used, verified the mods with the original mod'r, but I did not pop the top on the unit to look around. Also, that was mor... | |
| What is PRaT Pace, Rhythm and timingI have heard it described as the ability of a system to make you want to tap your foot to the music. This does make sense to me as I've heard the same recording on different systems where one system had me struggling to list... | |
| Marantz 6000 OSE direct to amp? You could try something like an in-line 10db attenuator from Rothwell. It would lower the volume across the entire range of your volume control.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Help with a new TV please Swampwalker,You are correct, a good input signal is critical. I recently traded my old Scientific Atlanta Digital CATV set top box for a new unit from PACE. The PACE box provides a much better picture for me. SD looks good. I stretch it via "just ... | |
| Am I crazy - tube pre-amp with receiver?? The Cayin (TAD) does not have amp inputs. When used with an external pre-amp, you simply connect the pre-amp L&R outputs to one of the inputs on the Cayin (like the aux. input). The "pre-amp" section of the Cayin is actually passive and only h... | |
| Help with a new TV please Jon,I don't think you are going to be able to do this considering your budget. However, if you can spend a bit more, you can do pretty well. Personally, I had a similar space vs. picture quality dilemma and I chose the EDTV 42" Panasonic Plasma. I... | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? Tim...Smart man! If you are happy, don't mess with it. I agree that you may get some bang for buck replacing your CD player, however, I wouldn't just jump on anything. Decide on units you are interested in trying and wait for one to come along at ... | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? I'm in the camp of both Panderso and Muzikat. I have spent a lot of time and money to arrive at a moderately expensive system that is more enjoyable than my previously more expensive systems.I think the investment of time will likely bring bigger ... | |
| Am I crazy - tube pre-amp with receiver?? If the HK receiver has pre-outs AND power-ins and these two can be disconnected, you could use a tube pre-amp and connect the R&L outputs of the pre-amp to the R&L power-ins of the receiver. This would be the desired setup you seek, but I ... | |
| How Screwed Am I? You have received some good advice above. Even though I previously answered that , yes, what you propose will work, I would also suggest, as some of the previous posters did, that you simply spend your budgeted dollars a a pair of different speake... |
