| need suggestions - transport for EVS Millenium Dac Tom, i also liked the Pearl with the Mill II. It is also a decent cosmetic match if things of that nature matter to you or your "better half". In terms of having a hum, yes, that was me. I ended up sending that DAC back to Ric as an outright retur... | |
| Dedicated outlets vs Power Conditioner I think that Rat Shack used to offer some type of voltage monitoring device that was designed to be plugged in at all times. Had an LCD display that was easily visible and was housed in a little "project box" type cabinet. Anyone know of something... | |
| Passive preamp and biamping So long as you can easily attain the listening level that you are seeking and it is clean, don't worry about where the volume control is set. If you had to turn an active preamp up to that level all the time, i might be slightly concerned. With a ... | |
| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas Lance, i did something similar with a lady friend of mine in the past. She was looking for a system and had been looking at "rack systems". She was about ready to buy, but needed another week to come up with the rest of the money. Trying to steer ... | |
| Movies with... I can't remember the tv series, but i specifically remember one where someone owned large e-stat's. Later in the show ( several episodes or even the next season ), they had a pair of Cerwin-Vega's !!!! From one extreme, to the other... Sean> | |
| need suggestions - transport for EVS Millenium Dac While the Pioneer DVD 440 might work fine as a transport, this is one of the newer units that supposedly has the "bad dac's" in it. As such, you might want to shop around for another model that would offer slightly greater versatility as an "all i... | |
| Dedicated outlets vs Power Conditioner Bob speaks wisely because Bob speaks from experience. Much like Sugar, he has "felt the heat" from lightning strikes / surges first hand. Ask him about the $4K amp that went "bye-bye" last summer....Glen, out of curiosity, do you or other members ... | |
| An act of audio love Tim, you are NO fun. I bet you even "tarp" your gear when making "home movies" : )Just look at it this way Derrick, it's good exercise. If you keep this up, you might be able to give Jack LaLane a run for his money when he's 102 : ) Sean> | |
| Is McIntosh still a good choice? Personally, i might look at Mac for tubed gear but definitely not SS power amps. I do not agree with their design philosophy of using output transformers for SS amps. There are as many or more technical reasons for NOT doing that as there are for ... | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? That is a personal decision. ANY unit can be improved upon by thoughtful and careful modifications and parts upgrades. You are best off to start with a unit that you like and go from there. Since the Rega can also be improved upon ( like any other... | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? To be COMPLETELY honest in this, i may have somewhat embellished what Stan told him. I specifically remember that the owner told me THREE times within the same phone conversaton that Stan told him the DVD would not have the same amount or quality ... | |
| Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it?? Regardless of how good the speakers are ( and i'm sure that they are quite good ), you REALLY do need to consider their size if going into a smaller room. Larger speakers require more room to breath and focus. While they might be a great deal that... | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? All i can say is "WHATEVER". Since some of you seem to think you know what took place better than the guy that was involved in the conversation and transaction, i'll let you believe what you want to. In the meantime, PLEASE get YOUR facts straight... | |
| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas I almost forgot one VERY important thing. Buy Bose. Everybody likes Bose and it may gain her some respect from her friends. After all, it is QUITE impressive : ) Sean> | |
| TAS new look-the end is near? I agree about putting some of the folks from Audio to work. I liked some of the features of that mag ( Auricle and the testing procedures ) but also thought that it had deteriorated to a shell of what it formerly was. Sean> |
