| Recommend a good DVD Player for McIntosh HT System Check the latest Denon 5910... all the formats plus some kind of great video technology found only in expensive video scalers, hdmi with upconversion etc. Seems like a superb value. | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo I owned a DD-12 in a room 18x20x8 with one wall of sliding glass doors. Quite the sub but I replaced it with a DD-18. No comparison (nor should there be because of the cost). The 18" sub is just super with anything I use it for... movies or stereo... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem I've B&W CDM9nt's. With a Velodyne DD-12 it was a nice improvement in bass. However, with the DD-18 I moved up to, it is now astonising. What that sub adds to the soundstage is amazing and that is just for vinyl. My system is pretty modest and... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Interesting post 4 sure... I'd also call Larry at Hollywood Sound (you can find him here at a-gon). My dealings with him have been right on the mark... not too much or too little for my more modest system. And what I wound up with still astounds m... | |
| Anthem processors: AVM20 v. AVM30 v. D1 in late but... good stuff on the Anthem product. My slant is on the Velodyne. I had a DD-12, which at the time I got it I thought it was totally awesome and I thought I'd died and went to subwoofer heaven. HOWEVER, I upgraded it to a DD-18 recentl... | |
| How much does your system retail for? 15,700 is as far as I wanted to count before even thinking about the cables they are hooked up with. Modest compared to many. Seeing that total, more then I thought. Real problem is... I'm not done with it! | |
| Do higher end tuners pull in more stations Eldartford & 4yanx make an interesting comment... what's the sense in spending MegaBuck$$ for a quality tuner to pick-up stations that the bean counters control and supply with the least expensive broadcast equipment they can get away with? I ... | |
| VPI Scout ... move to Scoutmaster or even further A somewhat mixed bag of e-pions, all of which appreciated. To upgrade the Scout would cost at least a grand to scoutmaster status without any motor control (why don't motors just do what they are supposed to??) and then perhaps the Ginko thing add... | |
| ebay vs audiogon Depends on how simple you want your life to be. If you've an item that is well regarded and price it right, on A-gon its gon rather quickly without hassle and big seller fees other then the cost of the ad. With E-bay, the only way you can be sure ... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll Now that 'research' thing should already be done way ahead of time so that should some ad come up, you can act right then. I didn't mean to imply if you find something to then research it... you'd probably be too late to get it. I do agree the bes... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll If the price is fair AND you really want it, you better jump on it and buy immediately. In the past, my tendancy is to always try to get a little better of a price BUT that has backfired many times. A realistic price from a verifiable source is go... | |
| Subwoofer Isolation, what do you think... I can't believe the great information and knowledge I've be able to learn from with my original question. This 'forum' thing is truly incredible place to find out answers to things. I say that with all sincerity. I'm even going to dig out some of ... | |
| Wife approval factor? WAF factor is a serious as it gets... so glad Accorddude's Mom like's his speakers. And getting a smooch from the GF is great (of course when your dating so much is easy to do if there might be a ring in sight) but us married people have extreamly... | |
| Subwoofer Isolation, what do you think... Barry from Bright Star... will your NODES support the 120lbs of weight? | |
| Subwoofer Isolation, what do you think... WAF factors dictate putting a 25lb bag-o-shot on top of our beautiful piano gloss black BIG HONKER will only land me in the doghouse so thats out. This thing weighs in at 120lbs... it ain't moving. Hell, if it was only a bit bigger I could use it ... |
