| Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s Hey Ben,TIC here again. I had a pair of the ASL Wave 8s. They didn't really do it for me. That said, for $200 or less used, I would still try a pair if you had speakers that are about 92db eff. or more. Heck, for $200 you can try them and resell t... | |
| Suggestions for toslink cable? OK guys, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. The Wireworld and the Sound Professionals cables are the ones that get all the press at AudioAsylum. There is a review of both as mentioned in a previous post.However, there is a guy on e-Bay that sells t... | |
| CDP with volume control I have owned a Theta Miles (balanced version-twice as many DAC chips as RCA only version) and the Cary Audio CD-308. I ran both directly into a plethora of amplifiers. Both worked great.Currently I have the Cary CD-308 running directly into a pair... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I've been playing Jimmy Smith's "Dot.Com Blues" a lot lately. Man, that Hammond B3 Organ just fills up the room with sound!!! Also, great guest artist on this one, including Etta James, Dr. John, Keb' Mo, Taj Mahal and BB King. This is a great Jaz... | |
| Sony 9000ES vs. Sony 999ES vs. Denon DVD-2900.... I have owned the Denon 2800 mkI and the Sony DVP-S9000ES. If your goal is to have a universal player for high def. digital audio AND redbook CD playback, you may want to look elsewhere IMHO. Of course, it depends on you system and how "resolving" ... | |
| Review: Arcam Alpha 9 int Amplifier I owned an Alpha 9 for a while. Nice piece, especially for $500 from a dealer!You can use Nordost Z-plug bananas on the Arcams because the Z-plug is hollow and fits nicely over the center protrusion. The z-plugs are available from any Nordost deal... | |
| Norh SE9 or Jolida tube intergrated..... FYI, The SE9 is NOT a SET amp. I believe it is a single ended amp running in Pentode mode (SEP). This had been discussed at length on the HarmonicDiscord Site.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Would this be an upgrade? Jim,I have owned the balanced version of the Theta Miles and the Sony DVP-S9000ES. I agree that the Theta was far superior to the Sony for redbook playback. I also used the Sony with a very good DAC and Digital cable (Birdland Odeon Lite, Nordost ... | |
| A new ploy for fraud? I have read thes EXACT scam posted by someone else on another forum.I'm fairly sure that this is a scam and you will be left holding the bag! For a $90 sale, I'd look elsewhere.TIC | |
| cdp to amp I have owned a Theta Miles (balanced version) and a Cary CD-308 and run/ran both directly to my amps. For me, it is a benefit. You save a ton-o-cash by not needing a pre-amp or extra interconnect cables. I don't notice any lack of dynamics IMS. I ... | |
| HSU vs. ADIRE vs.Pinnacle SUBS I have owned the Baby Boomer and the VT-2. I sold the VT-2 and kept the BabyBoomer. I liked the HSU, but the size and esthetic qualities of the Pinnacle were FAR superior to the HSU and the Pinnacle gave up very little in the performance departmen... | |

| Scott/Dynaco TUbe Amps...... I currently own several tube amps and if I were in the market for an inexpensive tube amp, I would buy an Anthem Integrated 1. It is a 25 watt/ch. tube integrated amps using EL-84 output tubes. It has a tube based pre-amp section also.I recently b... | |
| How to combine 2ch int amp with HT Konstantin,Correct, if you use an Integrated amp with no HT bypass/Processor loop, you will need to set the volume of the integrated to the "calibrated" level each time you want to use HT. Not as bad as it sounds. Simply set the volume to a pre-de... | |
| How to combine 2ch int amp with HT Duddley is correct, and I have run several different integrated/HT combo systems over the years. Here are some other nice integrated amps that have HT bypass/Processor loop. BTW, I've owned all of them!Arcam Alpha 10Anthem Integrated 1Anthem Integ... |
