| Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO? Well, I listen almost exclusively to "Listener Supported" radio stations. Some are college stations, some not. I hear a lot of great music. I've heard ALL of the artist you mentioned on WNKU (Northern Kentucky University). We have 3 good public ra... | |
| Triangle speaker- comments I have owned the Triangle Titus xs ($495 list) and it was an excellent speaker. It was incredible at the $400 I paid. It can be bright with the wrong associated equipment, but with the right stuff it is very good. Triangle sells several speakers i... | |
| 2ch Preamp w / processor loop/ surround processor I bought a cheap used Denon AVR-3300 to use via the processor loop of a long line of integrated amps (Anthem Int.2, Arcam Alpha 9&10, Plinius 8200). I use it for digital processing, bass management and to power the center and rear surrounds. I... | |
| Help with budget DVD/CD player I've owned the following: Sony DVP-S7700, RCA 5223P, Technics DVD-A10 and Pioneer DV-440. I've had a difficult time settling on the features I've wanted. I had found the video quality to be nearly identical in most of them, with the Technics being... | |

| Does component video switching hurt picture? Quality component video cables are expensive. If you use switching, you must buy 2 cables. Most people with mid-high level HT systems already have a universal remote with macros. Just hook the DVD player directly to the TV with a good component vi... | |
| Looking for a gadget The Monarchy DIP will convert toslink to coax or "balanced" digital output. Also reclocks and reduces jitter. Does what you want AND improves the performance of your digital front end.TIC | |
| Small balanced monoblocks Look into the Monarchy Audios. There are 3 or 4 models that are all pysically very small. I had a pair of SM-70's running in fully balanced mode and I couldn't believe how good they were. I paid $700 for the pair used in perfect condition. For mor... | |
| What self powered speakers of my PC? The only $100 speaker I've seen that interest me is possibly the Monsoon flat panels. I haven't heard them, but I've heard ABOUT them. Here's a link:http://www.monsoonpower.com/index_mmedia.htmThree different models from $99-$199 each with a sub i... | |
| New Toshiba DVD player? and $499 is WAY too much. Check www.pricescan.com . They list several retailers that sell it for under $250. Nice unit with progessive scan, DVD-A and HDCD. Thers are some "consumer reviews" listed at www.audioreview.com. See the reviews at this U... | |
| Tyler Acoustic Reference Monitor, what amp? sub? I have used a pair of Monarchy Audio SM-70's with my Taylo Reference Monitors. These were the most "tubelike" solid state amps I've heard. The compact size could allow you to place the amps behind your speaker stands. Highly recommended and availa... | |
| Need Detail/ Resolution with Impact and Weak Bass Save yourself a ton-o-money and get the Triangle Titus xs(old version) or 202 (new tweeter). They list for $495, sometimes are discounted to $450 and you can resale them quickly for nearly $400 on this site! They are very fast (electrostatic like)... | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC Adam,I believe the volume control is out of the circuit when set to 0db. There is an audible click when the volume is turned up to 0. I am under the impression that a relay is engaged/dis-engaged taking the volume control out of the circuit.I don'... | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC How about Monarchy Audio Model 22c or Model 33(DAC and multi-input pre-amp in one box). The Monarchy has balanced outputs and both units have an analog volume control, so you can skip a seperate pre-amp. I bought, then mistakenly sold a perfect us... | |
| Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's You may need more power than the Bryston can muster. It is a fine sounding integrated (I previously owned one), but, I fear it won't do so well with the usually power hungry B&W's.I now have the Plinius 8200 and it is really nice. It has plent... |
