| Proceed AVP2 If you need service, George Meyer TV and Stereo serviced my AVP2+6 and PDT3 a several years ago. I've recently recieved a promotional email from them. The entire service experience was outstanding and the components are operating flawlessly. They... | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? Allot of great comments here and many positive reviews out there on the OP’s current speakers. Jaybird, installing active crossovers in your current speakers may be a very rewarding project. I have 3-way, 8-ohm cabinets with very stiff cones and s... | |
| Questions never stop ever, it seems. My front speakers amps are connected with XLR-type analog connections from my preamp. The sub is connected to the extra RCA-type L and R analog outputs from the same preamp. The front cabinet's roll-off in the mid-30Hz range. A SVS Ultra sub is se... | |

This assures the digital signal is only converted once by the DAC’s in your integrated preamp/amps component.Clean all connections f... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Always buy the best quality recordings and performances. Most musicians have their ups and downs. Using Amazon reviews, I sort newer artists chronologically from first release to last. I read customer ratings, listen to top examples to see if agr... | |

| Who Here is Vertical Bi-Amping? I’m using a Rane 23B 3-way stereo Active Crossover with balanced inputs and outputs. Each speakers crossover frequency and volume control are adjustable with rotary dials. For example, I bought SEAS Millennium tweeters with a max low XO point on t... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Many great ones listed here...A new one to me was Melody Gardot’s CD “My One and Only Thrill”. Every song is nice and she wrote most. She’s very articulate and usually waits to the end of each phrase to use her vibrato. Here she is in the tub sing... | |
| Shopping at Goodwill anyone? 10 years ago, I bought my first matched separates, a Tandberg tuner, amp and pro that appeared in 3 nearby pre-owned shops. This perfect match hooked me on component matching. Browsing on Audiogon and there, I eventually went all matched Proceed/L... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Enjoying Creamy Telecaster Blues by Kenneth St. King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgCwxZ4H9T8&index=1&list=RDYgCwxZ4H9T8 | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. I added two lights with in-line dimmers to a distant 20 amp outlet that also powers my system. With the lamp dimmers on, it significantly raised a multi-amplifiers operating temperature and added a soft grain in the separately powered mids and twe... | |

| Recommnedations for moderately price balanced IC's, and adaptors to an RCA end Mogami Gold 2534 analog cables are available with mixed RCA/XLR connecters. I use all XLR cables to connect 3-way active stereo crossovers, processor and amps. I’ve used 2534 cables with mixed connectors from a pro to amps. The signal transition ... | |
| Has anyone connected their favorite transport through the OPPO 105 for comparison ? Thanks rhljazz, "It works fine as a transport. However, I find my old Sony ES is marginally better sonically and light years ahead ergonomically.”I plan to keep my processor connected to sound check different configurations with familiar recordin... | |
| Has anyone connected their favorite transport through the OPPO 105 for comparison ? Thank you Cooper52,Both ideas are excellent and I hope the second is most applicable in my situation.
