| Epos els 3 vs Triangle Titus $300 range new/used.. I've never heard the Epos, so I can't comment on them, although I would be comfortable recommending them on reputation alone at the sub-$300 range NIB.I have owned the original Triangle Titus and I thought it was a great speaker. IT worked well wi... | |
| DVI hookup going directly to TV and not thru amp There is absolutely zero reason (other than convenience) to run a video signal through the receiver. It only causes you to spend twice as much money on cables (requires 2 instead of 1).Run the video signal directly to the TV and simply use the TV ... | |
| Can you help with music selection? Eva Cassidy's "Live at Blues Alley" is a remarkable record. For me, Eva's live record is the cream of the crop and is actually the only one I listen to regularly.Interestingly, I can say the same about Patricia Barber's Live "Companion" set. It is... | |
| Digital Inputs on McCormack Preamps? In general, a pre-amp, by nature is a 2-channel ANALOG device. To have a digital input, it would be a combo unit, ie pre-amp/DAC or a multi-channel preamp/processor. There are plenty of pre/pros out there and there are some good combo pre-amp/DACs... | |
| Universal Digital Player With Digital Inputs? Eldartford,What would make this player illegal? I can't see how using the digital output from a computer sound card connected to the input of a universal player would cause any legal issues for anyone. Lots of high end CD players have digital inpu... | |
| Can I use an 'Integrated Amp' as just an Amp? Joshl,Which Arcam Integrated do you own? Many of the Arcams have an HT bypass/processor loop, which when engaged passes the signal through without being affected by the pre-amp circuit at all.Also, some integrated amps have passive pre-amps and yo... | |
| why hook your dvd-video to your receiver? Elevick,I don't have any sources passing through my receiver (or any of my last 5 HT receivers) and I can see OSD just fine. I simply use a cheap composite or s-video cable from my receiver's video out to the TV. Why send sources through the recei... | |
| why hook your dvd-video to your receiver? Sure there's a reason-so you can spend twice as much money on interconnect cables!!!!But seriously, the only reason for running your video cables through the receiver is to simplify video switching. If you don't have an issue with choosing the inp... | |
| Best Budget Integrated Hands down I've owned the Bryston B-60R and a Plinius 8200 mkI as well as Arcam Alpha 9 and Alpha 10, Anthem Integrated 1 and Integrated 2. Currently I'm using a Cayin TA-30 tube integrated. If you can get away with 35 watt/channel of tube amplification, the... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 42 ot Triangle Titus with Rotel You may also want to consider the pair of JM Reynaud Twin MK II's that showed up on A-goN for $395 this morning. I've never heard them, but they have a good reputation and at that price, you could always re-sell for little/no loss. BTW, I don't kn... | |
| Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark Sk1,I really like John Hiatt (and the other artist you saw last night!) Sounds like a great show. BTW, I would pay good money to see that one!For Hiatt, look no further that his "The Best of John Hiatt". Unlike some "best of" collections, this 199... | |
| under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist? dylan,If you are "just truely curious", do some homework on the Athena Line. I was shock when I saw that they got picked up by BB. They are a very well reviewed speaker and are very inexpensive. This line has been carried by AudioAdvisor for a cou... | |
| Sony S7700, S7000, or ??? best low cost transport? I agree with the previous posters. I owned 2 different 7700's. one stock and one specifically modified for transport duty by a well know modder. Neither of them approached the performance of a Theta Miles or Cary CD-308 when used with the same ext... | |
| live dvd/v concerts James Taylor-Live at the Beacon Theater Very Nice!!!TIC | |
| great little speakers What will you be using for amplification? Why do I ask? Well, for a speaker that is EXCELLENT and will work well with almost any amplifier, check out the Reference 3A MM DeCapo. It has relatively high effeciency and it has a very simple crossover.... |
