| Anyone Watching Hi Def Cable TV on a Projector? My cable HD picture on a 100" screen is soooo much better than my standard def stations that I rarely watch SD anymore.

| Marigo Apparition 5.8 vs Audioquest EagleEye I've tried dozens of digitals and the Marigo 5.8 is right up there with the best, second only to the Stealth Sextet IMS. Great air. Detailed, but never etched or harsh. Wonderful sense of ease. Lets the music through.I've used the Audioquest Hawk ... | |
| what do you put under your sub? Depends on your floor (and what you're trying to achieve). If you have a suspended wood floor, and you want to hear the sub's bass output, not the room and floor rattling, use something that isolates. The Auralex SubDude is a nice option. A cheap,... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? All good suggestions....I've used a couple Power Strips that come with an integrated power cord--the ESP Essence and the Ensemble Power Point. Both are good, with the ESP a bit fuller in the bass and the Ensemble a bit geared to the mids. I like t... | |
| Looking for a non-powered sub The VBT (TBI) Magellan passive subs are small, attractive and very quick and tuneful, and should mate well with your Maggies. Put one in your corner, or for even better response use one beside each speaker.If you want to move, more air, I've also ... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix A couple more possibilities:1) Consider stereo subs. IMO, even at low X-over points, stereo subs create more realism. See the 6moons article: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/vbt/magellan82.htmlAlso, consider a pair of VBT/TBI subs as an option.... | |
| Recommended HDMI DVD players for music and movies. I've seen the Oppo and was pretty impressed with its picture . However, I ended up with a Sony 975, as it's upsampling through HDMI was in the same ballpark, and it's additionally quite good with CDs for the price---and also plays SACDs as a bonus... | |
| What happens when the Wife cleans the audio room Last year our cleaning person moved my speakers and damaged the midrange and woofer on one of them. I've replaced the mid (for $165) but the woofer is out of production and I still haven't been able to find a replacement. In the meantime, it's bei... | |
| 2nd Rowland Model 1 to improve my Aerial 10Ts? Tough choices...the Aerials' impedence dips a bit low in the bass, so you'll likely get more punch and control with better ease and dynamics with another Model 1. I owned a pair some years back with Apogee Duetta Sigs and they were fantastic bridg... | |
| What CD Transport with TacT DAC ? Cables seem to be somewhat system/user dependent, but I can tell you some of my favorites.I'm presently using a balanced Stealth Sextet AES/EBU and a HT Cyberlight RCA, which are the best I've used in my system. Both present a great sense of ease ... | |
| "Warm" sounding digital interconncect I agree about the CRL/FIM. I used their Digital and presently use their Speaker cable, and it may be what you're looking for. It is warm, smooth and full through the mids with good detail, PRAT and slam.Another I really like is the Sonoran Plateau... | |
| What CD Transport with TacT DAC ? The Tact doesn't require anything special in a transport. From the Tact website:"Lower sampling rate formats such as CD and DAT are upsampled with the highest quality sample rate converter at the input so that DA conversion can take place at 192 k... | |
| The Latest Room Correction Equipment/Trends I might be able to provide a point of reference for you. Though I haven't heard them both in my system, a friend of mine has a similar system to mine (both using line arrays with digital amplification) and is using a DEQX, while I'm using Tact equ... | |
| Modern Day Good Transport KidIf you got a Genesis Lens, you could run both your Sony (as transport) and the Airport Express through it--it'll improve them both. You wouldn't need as expensive a cable from the transport to the Lens--use your better cable from the Lens to DA... |
