| TV only recommendation Unless you have a tilt mount, for the ideal viewing angle, TV should be mounted such that the center of the screen is at the eye level. | |
| BAT VK-55SE vs. BAT VK-60SE They are not good match for the Monolith III. Those early MLs like a lot of current. You will do better with solid states. | |
| Another DAC question @Mhedges, There are DTS CDs. I have a few of them but I haven't seen any new title being released for quite some time.@Monterey, No. It won't work. You need to connect the digital out of the CDP directly to the DSP-A1 for it to decode DTS signal u... | |

| can i improve my system with a better cd player? I am a little confused. You mentioned playing DTS CD and DSP-A1. Would that be the Yamaha DSP-A1? And are you using the CD player as a transport and let the DSP-A1 do all the decoding? If my assumption is correct. You don't really need something w... | |
| $1000 upgrade. Opinions? Don't do anything right now. Wait until you moved and use the money to treat the new room.I know it is very tempting to change equipment because it is easy - buy something, hook it in, instant gratification. But if you want to get the best sound f... | |
| Best Cables for around $500 Let me suggest a slightly different approach. Rather than looking for a $500 cable, get a pair of Mogami Gold Studio XLR (less than $100 for a 6 foot pair) and than borrow some $500 cables and compare them. Make sure you invite some friends over t... | |
| computer audio question Different DACs can sound very different. How different will depend on what DAC you are using and what replacement you are getting.Different software players can sound different too and in some cases, they sound more different from one another than... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? ML 36 doesn't support anything other than red book (i.e. no 24/96K hi res). Don't know if it is important to you.Digital technology has been improving greatly over the past few years. I think for the price of an used ML 36, there are many excellen... | |
| Good CD for testing bass response For the purpose of speaker placement I recommend Ray Brown Superbass 2. To show off bass dynamic to your friends or to test a speaker's bass producing capability, I would use track 1 (Poem of Drum) of the Master of Chinese Percussion CD. | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? Here is what I think. A pair of 7 costs about $28K more than a pair of 5A. Is the 7 "better" than the 5A? That can only be answered by you because at this level, "better" usually comes down to what you like "better". But if I were in your position... | |
| Amps Using the 211 Tube Please do not put a blanket statement on the sound of a particular tube. 211 can sound very different depending on the operating point and the output transformer one chooses. | |
| Please help, single input, multiple outputs I assume you want all the speakers active at the same time rather than switching speakers. If that is your goal, you can get a RCA distributor amp which will split a single RCA input into multiple RCA outputs. You than connect the outputs into the... | |
| Vandersteen 5As...first impressions Jeffrey, I wouldn't touch the crossover if I were you. IMHO, randomly replacing parts isn't a sound engineering method. I am sure Richard Vandersteen knows much more about his speaker design than you or I do. | |
| Vandersteen 5As...first impressions Great purchase. Congrats.I just want to add that it looks like you bought a used pair. You might want to check the date on the batteries in both the external and the internal crossovers. If you are not sure how old the batteries are, replace them.... |
