| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor Did you do any listening comparison's of the MC-8 versus other Prepro options before you purchased it?I did indeed. As I mentioned, I owned a Rotel RSP-1068 prior to the Lex (and a Rotel RSX-1055 receiver prior to that). The Lex is quieter and les... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor Hi Flrnlamb - I understand that you don't care for the Lexicon processors, and that's absolutely OK. Let's separate personal opinion from fact though.A quick Google search finds numerous e-zine and print magazine profession reviews which describe ... | |
| Anyone have a scratch repair tip for black compone Black enamel paint carefully applied with a fingernail-polish brush. The goal is to use the paint to fill the scratch, nothing more. Gently buff when dry. It won't make the scratch disappear (nothing will), but if you do a good job on matching and... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor I respectfully disagree with Flrnlamb's opinion.I had a Rotel RSP-1068. It was a very nice unit - easy to work with, with some reasonably flexible features. Sounded decent too. I sold it to buy a Lexicon MC-8, which was a HUGE jump in functionalit... | |
| DTS/DD - 80's, 90's,,,,today I also take reviews with a grain of salt. I have never purchased based on someone's review, only on my own experiences. If I can't demo an item in my system prior to purchase, I won't buy it.I can tell you that my personal experience with the Deno... | |

| Lexicon RT-20 or McIntosh MVP861? The Lexicon RT-20 is a repackaged Marantz DV9500 with an AES/EBU digital port added. The McIntosh MVP861 is a repackaged Denon DVD-2900 with a balanced analog output stage and beefed-up power supply.The Lexicon is a very good DVD-V player, a very ... | |
| Sony SCD-1 vs Musical Fidelity Tri Vista I directly compared both players in my system three years ago. My experience matches up quite well with Chuck's - compared to the TriVista, the SCD-1 was somewhat clinical. I also noted a slight touch of steeliness on strings with the SCD-1 compar... | |
| Vandersteen VCC-1 center and the 2WQ subwoofer I had a VCC-1. I borrowed my dealer's VCC-5 for a long weekend, and installed it in place of the VCC-1. I took the dealer's VCC-5 back on Tuesday morning, and placed an order for a VCC-5. The VCC-5 is amazing. The amount of additional detail and c... | |
| Does the balanced output of the Sony SCD-1 invert Ghostrider45 has the definitive answer. This was corrected in the later version which by the way is denoted with an uppercase 'R' on the front panel just below the lower right corner of the display window.No, and no.The SCD-1 was NEVER sold in Nor... | |
| Vandersteen VCC-1 center and the 2WQ subwoofer I agree with Mikej - if you're looking for more bass extension from the center channel, get the VCC-5. The problem with adding a sub to the center channel is that you tend to get dialog intelligiblity problems - the opposite of "open." The VCC-5 g... | |
| Anyone with Vandersteen and Bryston? I use Brystons with Vandersteen 2ce Signatures in my HT. I have Vandersteen 5As in my downstairs system.I do not and would not use Brystons with the 5As. The Brystons are decent amps, but they are not the last word in transparency and subtlety. Th... | |
| Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies Setting the front speakers to "large" sends full-range bass. Many movies with low-frequency effects have them mixed into the fronts as well as (or even instead of) the .1 LFE channel.I have a full Vandersteen HT setup, and tried using stereo 2WQs ... | |
