| Classe IR jacks in/out Still not working, still open to input. Thanks anyone and everyone... | |
| New Focal.JMlab Electra speakers Thanks for the info. My dealer's website words it as if the Profiles are replacing the Electras. Thank god that's not true, I think the Profiles are ugly.Those Electras do look very promising, but I've yet to hear or see them...thanks for the look... | |
| New Focal.JMlab Electra speakers Where did you get that info? The new Electra line is called "Profile" and is already appearing in some stores.They have a new tweeter and redesigned cabinet. The Electra 907 and 937 Be models were only made in limited numbers, of about 500 or so, ... | |
| DVD lens cleaner.Which one to use? You should never have to do this unless something is sitting right on the lens. The only thing I would recommend is a can of compressed air to blow stuff off. Never use anything else, especially anything that makes contact with the lens, like brus... | |
| analog video vs digital video In general, a "direct" analog signal will always beat a "direct" digital signal because of fewer conversions in the signal path. I don't think that's what you're asking, however. Both can be terrific if done correctly, but generally, the fewer con... | |
| Duty free or not? There are always customs or brokerage fees; I have not paid any duty on electronics(don't think there is any) but here in Canada, we do have to pay taxes on the purchase. Taxes are usually based on the insured value, but being in the States, you m... | |
| What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb? Hi Kincade:DO NOT leave your Aragon amps on all the time. I don't know if anyone else can attest to the same sort of experience, but I didn't pay much attention when I first had my 8002, so I left it on all the time. Aragon amps tend to be havily ... | |
| What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb? I don't know why many seem to think the new Aragon amps are not as good as the old. Internally, they're all still the same; only the outer cosmetics are different. Having owned both(still have an 8002 and 8008BB), the Acurus products don't have an... | |
| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? Bombaywalla is incorrect-JmLabs speakers are time AND phase correct. They design the structure of their speakers and their crossovers with that in mind. Don't forget that it all depends on listing distance and height of the listener relative to th... | |
| new Classe Delta line Hello everyone. I saw the new Delta series at the Montreal HiFI show this year, and most of them had prices on them. In general, prices have shot up by about 50-100% depending on the product. I personally don't like the look of them that much; I t... | |
| MIT cables MIT cables are excellent, and roll off nothing. Imaging is wonderfule with these cables as well, but they require a hell of a lot of time to break in. I started a few years back with MIT-T2's, and now have all Shotgun stuff running through my JMLa... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Hell, there isn't a live performance I'd pay a million for. Great sense of humour here, though! | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's This is a good topic, but it's bound to become personal. I didn't see anything offensive towards women in Carl's comments. Carl always tends to ruffle a few feathers, but I also know that he's big enough to appologize when he realizes that he has ... | |
| Bi-amp cable question The only pre-amps that I'm aware of with two pairs of RCA outs are from Aragon. I don't know why manufacturers don't do this more often. The Aragon Aurum also has one pair of balanced outs. I'd like to know of any others that do this. It's a conve... | |
| Best Budget HDCD D/A Converter? The Aragon D2A2 is an excellent budget DAC, if you can find one. Better than the above, in my opinion(I haven't heard the Camelot gear). Good luck... |
