| Xbox 360 w/Blueray will debut in Q3. wow...that is surprising since there's no way Microsoft wanted to back a Sony standard. Microsoft must have realized they have no choice with hd-dvd being dumped. I'm in the same boat as you--I've got a 360 and love it. To top it off I've never be... | |
| Yamaha or Denon ? Just to provide a counter opinion....I've had a yamaha reciever since the middle of 2002. I'm actually listening to it right now while watching a dvd. This has been rock solid for me. The sound is good and the product has been extremely reliable--... | |
| XLR cable with RCA output Like many others, I'm also using the cardas adapters between amp and pre-amp. In my case, it's modwright swl9.0 se pre --> cardas adapters --> acoustic zen matrix ii interconnects --> nuforce ref 9 v2 se amps.The cardas product is very go... | |
| American/European Made Products? Hi Wader,It's great that you are looking for US made gear.One sub company you may want to check out is Velodyne. They build (and service) many of their products in Morgan Hill, CA.-Sam | |
| Vienna Acoustics setup questions wow I can't believe the deal you got on your Beethovens...and I think I need a drink after considering how much more I spent ;)As others have said, the speakers do image well so you can get away with no center channel for a while if you can dial t... | |
| Enlightened Audio designs HI Texron--That's a tough Q to answer--it will depend on the rest of your system and of course your ears. Also consider how long you'll keep the unit. If you feel that this DAC will be with you for a long time and survive upgrades in other areas t... | |
| Enlightened Audio designs Hey Texron,I've been using EAD DACs for a few years, first with their DSP-1000 and now with their DSP-7000 unit. They are really good stuff, just hard to find.I haven't heard your music hall, but I can tell you that the DSP-7000 is still an excell... | |
| Can you test my internet radio station please Hi Synthfreek,I just saw the thread and hit the link--this is really cool! I'm going to do like like darkj and will bookmark and keep checking back. Congrats on getting the site running! :)-Sam | |
| DAC Noob - seeking suggestions Hi Alath,You may want to take a look at a used DSP-1000. I've got one of these are they are great (as are the high end EAD DACs) for the money. I've had mine for a few years so I can't remember the exact price I paid, but believe it was in the $25... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs KAV-150a vs Outlaw Audio vs ? HI Philhh--let us know how you like it once it arrives...it's always cool to see how things end up. -Sam | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs KAV-150a vs Outlaw Audio vs ? Hi Phil,I can't comment on anything other than the Krell integrated--I've had one for about 2 years now and have used it to drive Thiel PCS and Vienna Acoustics Beethoven speakers. In both cases, it's done an incredible job. That is one quality pi... | |
| Why are LCDs more popular than plasma? I like LCDs for two main reasons...the first is that my TV gets used for video games, so there is no worry of burn in vs. plasmas. The second is power consumption--in my experience LCDs suck down a lot less juice.-Sam | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? a couple mustangs: 96GT and a 66 with a 289 4bbl engine. Also have a saturn wagon with a killer factory stereo ;) | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours This is both good reading and good venting ;)I second the vote for ads that state something like "if you are reading this then you already know how great this is. Nothing else needs to be said." I love reading those and then seeing that the ad has... | |
| Discounts vs. Agon listings Like Tarsando said, if you buy used you don't know what conidition it's in until it's your problem. If you get new, it's a known commodity. Plus you'll get any applicable warranty with it. You may also want to consider if you can build a lasting r... |
