| Any audio gifts for Christmas? I think that slingshot has us all beat by a longshot !!! Congratulatons !!! Let's hope that she's a "quiet one" and a sound sleeper. You can worry about what Convent you enroll her in later : ) Sean> | |
| Solid core vs multistranded digital interconnect. Solid core wires are typically preferred in any electrical installation, especially those dealing with RF. For the record, digital data is an RF signal.The only reason that stranded wire is so common is that it is far more flexible and less prone ... | |
| Who is going to the CES show? No offense RCLAD, but i would have to question the sanity of anyone that posts their cell phone number on the internet. That is asking just a bit much.... As to attending CES, i keep saying i'm going "next year". As is the case this year, i'll be ... | |
| Any audio gifts for Christmas? If "gifts" count as items you've bought for yourself within a week or two of Christmas, count me in : )Snagged a new DVD/CD player along with a new VCR for the bedroom system ( much to my girlfriends delight ), a DAC for the computer room system, ... | |
| Outboard Processor Question? Kelly, i think that the Sony's use a Toslink. There is a guy on AA that uses a Sony megachanger with a CAL Sigma II DAC. I know this because i sold him the CAL ( i bought a dozen or so and got a good deal on them ). He swapped a tube in the Sigma ... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Thanks Bear. The Magnat's were the ones that i was thinking of but couldn't remember the name. I'm still looking for the address, but the guy had several pairs of various models, some still sealed in the box. I remember seeing some stuff about the... | |
| Large room making me apprehensive.... Sure, the Avant-Garde's should work fine. Horns were my other suggestion, but most "audiophiles" are VERY "anti-horn" and don't consider them "hi-fi". To those people, all i can say is that they have never experienced a GOOD horn based system. To ... | |
| Question about cassette player settings If i remember correctly, Audio magazine did a test using a referernce quality cassette deck to see which tape types performed best. I think the machine in question was a Nak 1000. As one might expect, the Nakamichi brand tapes of various formulati... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? While i've never heard a Plasma tweeter, i've been told by others that i trust that there are NO other options once you've experienced them first-hand. Their speed is unmatched by any type of driver based on a physical material. In specific, the H... | |
| 2 channel home theatre? Just going to larger full range speakers with REAL amplification makes for a WORLD of a difference. You will not regret taking this simple step forward. Sean> | |
| ....expanding from car audio into home...need help If you want something "decent" without going bonkers on price, i would look into either a Denon or Yamaha DTS capable receiver. As to what features, how much power, etc... that you want, that will dictate the price that you end up having to pay. I... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? One more thing: Your "better" preamp might simply present a load that most digital components feel "comfortable" with. As such, they can all perform at peak or near peak performance, making the differences less noticeable. Some would say that this... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? Mike aka Awdeeofyle brings up some interesting points along with all of the others. To further extend Mike's comments, i will say that there is a LOT more to building a "killer" system than just having "killer components" regardless of price. I ( ... | |
| Lowering the Brad, some components tie chassis ground and board ground together and others don't. I have always thought that they should be seperate and isolated, as this provides some type of shielding to the circuitry courtesy of the metal case. Obviously, t... | |
| would it be a huge mistake? Thanks for posting the info that you did RCampbell. It is info like this derived from first hand experience that makes these sites SO worthwhile. This is not to say that the info that others with first hand experience posted is less important, but... |
