| Great sounding CDs out there... The Other Ones "The Strange Remain" is an exceptionally good-sounding recording, especially since it was done live. This one is an HDCD disc, as are all of the Grateful Dead albums.For that matter, GD's "American Beauty" and "Terrapin Station" are... | |
| Berning ZH-270 & Joule Electra LA-100 MK3 speaker Ooops! I hit the Submit button a little too soon. I just wanted to add that I am driving my Ref. 3s with a Butler TDB-5150 - 5-channel, 150 watts/ch. tube/MOSFET hybrid and the combo sounds excellent. Not quite as good as Dave's, but really quite ... | |
| Berning ZH-270 & Joule Electra LA-100 MK3 speaker You should probably look at the Gallo Reference 3.0/3.1/3.5 speakers - VERY fast, incredible imaging, excellent integration of drivers, and a reasonably small footprint.The Gallos love high-current amps, the Berning would seem to be a very good ch... | |

Also, the Paradigm Studio 40s are very well thought of and might be in your price range if purchased used...The PSB line also gets high marks from all reviewers. Again, look for used here on Audiog... | |
| Subwoofer isnt woofing anymore As the previous message said, try changing the input. If you're using a singel RCA cable from your Sub out in your source component, try disconnecting that and using the speaker-level connection. Or vice-versa.If it then works, you know you have a... | |
| Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static Something else you might try - place a Bounce dryer sheet next to your RCM. Then, while touching the edge of the newly-cleaned record, use your other hand to touch the Bounce sheet.I know that dryer sheets work wonders at eliminating static build-... | |
| Building a Music Server that will play all formats Rather than buy a desktop box, why not consider a nice laptop? Simply install Foobar2000 as the DLNA Server and some of its many plug-ins and you're good to go. Foobar2000 will play back virtually every file format and it does so quite well...-RW- | |
| any laptop has spdif output? My Toshiba laptop (A505-S6980) has an S/PDIF output. All of the Toshibas in that line (A505-S69xx) have this output. This laptop also has an HDMI output making for a very high-quality connection to an external monitor...-RW- | |
| New Salk Loudspeaker- Soundscape JR Wow, SnoPro, you *do* have a very nice system! Looks like the room has been properly treated, too. I bet those HT-3s sound terrific being dirven by that Spectron Musician. Good on ya, lad!-RW- | |
| Ripping Reference Recordings HRX Discs Try EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It can pretty much handle any WAV file...-RW- | |
| Conversion of Coax to HDMI Sorry, my last post was incorrect, it only handles the audio portion.Here are 2 devices, one of them does what you want to do. They each cost $158:http://www.ambery.com/anvitodvcowi.htmlhttp://www.ambery.com/cocatvtodvih.html-RW- | |

| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources I ahve an Emotiva UMC-1 preprocessor ($699 brand new with 5 year warranty) and it does a very good jo of synthesizing multi-channel from 2-channel sources. Just engage either Dolby PLIIx (Music or Movie) or DTS:NEO6 and have at it. Both of these c... | |
| need new seperates on a budget You should look at the Emotiva offerings. An XPA-5 power amp ($899, 200 watts/ch.) mated to a UMC-1 Preprocessor would gige ypu a whale of a good and powerful system for $1600. Or, you could substitue one of their UPA-5 amps (125 watts/ch.)and sav... | |
| Pre/Power Amp pairing recommendation An interesting fact, the Butler Monad A-100 monoblock amps have 1 Farad (that's 1 Million microFarads!!!) capacitance. Now THAT is overkill!-RW- |
