| Dell purchase I have one word.... MacintoshI've been more impressed with them. True, I am die hard mac fan, but my job requires me to use both mac and Dell burners. Actually, the mac is a dvd burner as well. (if you get the upgraded one) | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? I haven't heard them recently, but I have met the guy that makes them. I live in the same town they are made. He does have a weird naming philosiphy. That is the kind of guy he is. His name is Kevin Blair. He used to show his stuff in the local hi... | |
| How long do you keep a component? That's easy. For me, it's speakers. I've had 4 different pairs in less than a year. I surprise myself if I hang on to any speakers more than four monts. I'm kind of new to high end. Only been involved about seriously for about 3 years. Next in lin... | |
| Used 750-1000 CD Player Advise Maybe look into Rega stuff. Denon made the 1650 AR that was an excellent player, you can pick it up used for about $450. Hope this helps | |
| Speaker cable suggestions Thanks for the help everyone. As for length, I was thinking about 8'. I was upgrading with the midbass first and then making my way up the chain. I have to start somewhere. I'm finding that 50 Hz is being overamplified in my system and I wasn't su... | |
| Speaker cable suggestions Actually right now I am using the straightwire for the run to the midbass and some cheap soncace 14awg for the run to the tweeter. I figured I would move the straightwire to the tweeter and by more quality cable to run to the midbass. Should I get... | |
| Speaker cable suggestions My system isn't exactly ultra high end, so I was thinking like 100-150 bucks. Perhaps the low end Transparent cable? I don't have much experience with it though. | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? both, tubed pre section and solid state amp section | |
| Do I connect video out thru receiver or to TV? Optical cable is used to send 5.1 or more channels of sound, not for picture. Atleast that I have seen before. Typical video transfer cables are composite (RCA), S-video, and component (Red,Green, and Blue Cables). A better connection would be dir... | |
| Level Restrictions? I have noticed the same thing, Raguirre. The level I want is slightly too loud for night time, but not so bad during the day. Thankfully I don't have annoying neighbors with cheap "home theaters in a box" to deal with. My real problem is that I do... | |
| What is the best tube integrated amp with remote Anthem makes a nice integrated with a tubed pre amp section. It might not be as nice as the Rouge or the Audio Research, but I've been happy with it. The only downfall (it may be a big one) is that the remote only allows control of the volume in V... | |
| Speakers for Rega system I heard an all rega system with Meadowlark Kestrals and was very impressed. | |
| Average age of audiophiles I'm 23 now, but I wouldn't say I walk into shops and buy their most expensive gear. I started with high end probably about the age of 18. In just a few months, I'm out of college and in the real world where I can hopefully make real buy and better... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? Trickle down is the key. Remember when B&W came out with the Nautilus speaker? Then they trickled that technology down to their 800 series, and I see it is even now into the 600 series (I think). I let the big boys blow all their money on top ... | |
| personal experiences with quaility preamps... I had an anthem Pre 2L for a while. It does a great job with most everything I threw at it. You can pick up a used one for about 650. As far as amps go, anthem makes some nice ones that compliment the pre. Check out their website. Also, I've had p... |
