| From Kef's to ?? You're not gonna find much out there for under $500. I would recommend that you wait until you can build up enough funds so that $1,000 - $1,500 is within your capabilities. Then you could find some nice used Gallo Reference 3.1s that will really ... | |
| Anyone go without power conditioning Our power here - Washington, DC - is quite clean and very stable. All my components are dead silent with no input, even at max volume. I see no need to spend money on a power conditioner here...-RW- | |
| What to do????? Go look at the Emotiva.com UMC-1 - a $3k processor for $699...-RW- | |
| Quality Budget RCA Interconnects Check out these guys, especially their "expensive" cables (eKs):http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?Category=RCA%20Interconnects-RW- | |
| Denon 3910..What next ? Since you want to get a universal why not consider the soon-to-be-released Oppo BD-83? I went from a 3910 to an Oppo DV-983 and was quite pleased with its picture and sound qualities. The BD-83 is supposed to match and surpass the 983 and also giv... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus Let us know where you live and perhaps a kind, elderly audiophile will come to your rescue - 4 ears are better than two...-RW- | |

| How do I copy music to USB flash drive? Use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) to snag the files from the CD and store them on the USB drive. If you have an Oppo 983 or similar DVD player, just pop the USB stick into it and play away...-RW- | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Barry, here are some links to the outriggers (I bought the "economical" ones, I'm a well-known skinflint)http://www.soundocity.com/economical_products.htmlhttp://www.soundocity.com/Gallo%20Reference%203.1.jpg-RW- | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Wow, $5800 clams per pair - almost double the price of the 3.1s. They would have to sound INCREDIBLY superior to make them worth that money. And I'm not too keen on the base/outriggers, they look cheesy IMHO. I already have outriggers on my 3.1s, ... | |
| Mcintosh xrt20 or Gallo 3.1?? I have to think getting replacement parts for these long out of production speakers could be an issue.I used to sell Mac gear back in the late 70s - early 80s and let's just say that McIntosh had much more success when they stuck with electronics.... | |
| Sub DIY vs mass produced? Damn, Shadorne, this one FINE woof woof. 80 lbs. - whoa! $1800, WHOA! Looks like it's worth it, though...Viggen, whne you get ready to replace that receiver, go take a look at the Emotiva UMC-1 or XMC-1 pre-processors. Killer units for not much mo... | |
| How much home AC voltage variance is too much? Anything within a 5% variance is normal - 114 - 126 volts. FWIW, my power here usually stays within a +- 2 volt variance, 118 - 122 volts. I am just outside of Washington, DC. The power company is PEPCO, Potomac Electric Power Company.-RW- | |
