Long Live 2 Channel audio......???
Long live what sounds best to you! I've got good equipment for both... for me. Krell and Aerial speakers, incl 10Ts. And I do know how to set up 2 ch! 5 ch is a bitch, and I don't think I will ever have it set up right. Well, maybe after some room... 
Should I ad a Krell KCT pre to my HTS
Samski I won't disagree with Tbonephile's response. I have an HTS with FPBc amps, and I may or may not get a KCT. Tbone has a good point concerning tube preamps, and I may go that way with one having an ht passthrough. If you have Krell cast amp(s... 
Maximum cable length
Cornfedboy, what you did seems rather interesting. Did moving your speakers further out from the wall give you any sonic enhancement? That's what I do with my Aerial 10Ts. The choice of Cardas neutral reference balanced interconnects was a great c... 
Blue-tac or spikes?
Why not use Sorbothane cut from a sheet? I should think that would be better than a mousepad for vibration, and it will not damage the wood. IMHO, when it's possible to directly secure the speaker to the stand by hardware, that's preferable for so... 
$6k, Big screen TV or projector??
Jefgeorge, Your negative comments concerning "women" visiting this site is quite offensive. I take it that your response are to my questions. I take what you say as an unacceptable attack. Wake up... The folks on this site are, for the most part, ... 
$6k, Big screen TV or projector??
I think the points of one's true interest are significant. However, some pragmatism is involved. No question that the projectors need virtually total darkness. Now here are my questions. I know that an RP can be ok with ambient light. Just how muc... 
How to integrate 2 preamps w/1 amp+spks?
From a post I saved from AudioAsylum: In Reply to: Re: Need Help:How can I connect a pre to Theta Casanova posted by Joly on November 04, 1999 at 22:11:12: Joly, Are you attempting to add a dedicated 2 channel preamp where you would use the that u... 
Best Budget HDCD D/A Converter?
C'mon guys, you knows dacs don't all sound the same. I'd suggest that Jedisqueezer first try some out in his setup at home. All the suggestions are good, but it's a bit on the personal side. 
Spectral digital components
I don't have them, but I've spent a lot of time listening to them. I can only suggest that you listen to a full, properly setup Spectral system. You will be amazed! 
Lexicon DC-1 or Theta Casa Nova
Kgb540: Accepted. I actually like the look of the OLD Mac equipment. Chromed with the tube glow... nice. I had a room mate while an undergrad at UCSD with an all Mac system that he got when he served in Nam. I did like the sound. I've just been in... 
Aerial 8B vs Aerial 7B
Emmett: I am really curious to know about the electronics that were used when you listned to the 7Bs. I've heard them sound different with varying electronics, with the highest quality yielding the best. Room acoustics are an issue as well. I reca...

Now I know why there's duplicate posts. Sorry people. 
Lexicon DC-1 or Theta Casa Nova
Aga's on the right path. I had a dealer that wanted to sell me an MC1 and a SimAudio pre that had the HT passthrough. Here's a post from another board explaining connections: Posted by Michael on November 05, 1999 at 07:45:21: In Reply to: Re: Nee...

Jdtuner: For interesting Lexicon chat you get to the SMR forum (#3) via . Other forums are useful too. Kgb540: Welcome to hi end audio. We don't need to flame each other. Mac amps are fine if you like the sound of them. Most of us are here to shar...
