| Getting New Panasonic ST30 Plasma TV Get a HDMI from Monoprice if you are using one, you will get a better picture. I use a much more expensive one which is better still but Monoprice is a great bargain. Conditioners can often make a difference,I had my 50" Panasonic on my Tice Power... | |
| Basic Question fAbout a Preamp for Monoblock Amps Unless you run your subs from the speaker outputs as I do. Also you can use Y connectors as I did when I bi amped. | |
| Musical Fidelity remote codes for universal remote The best bet would be one of Phillips according to past experience with other hi fi units. I have a Nuvista M3 and a Kw line stage but haven't had [or wanted] to use a universal remote. I get most of my exercise looking for the three or four I use... | |
| IC between Lamm pre and McIntosh amp? I recommend these highly; I have sold and used VDH cables in my own system since the early 90s. They don't get as much ink in the US as in Europe but are first rate cables; these are the ones I use currently. I have nothing to do with this sale. h... | |
| KEF Reference 201/2 and Vintage Pioneer SX-1250??? It really lends weight to your opinion when you term anyone who disagrees with you an idiot. That is, unless you are still in the 7th grade. | |
| KEF Reference 201/2 and Vintage Pioneer SX-1250??? I had a 1250; warm would not come to mind in describing its sound. The HIFICRITIC review of the 201/2 was not terribly favorable; they felt it was technically good but not too involving. | |
| Musical Fidelity old vs new I have a NuVista M3 and it is very good. | |
| Dual Subs set up advice I use speaker level in on my RELs. | |
| Flip flopped orchestra? I remember this question being ask years ago and the answer then was that sometimes the musicians were arranged in this manner. Or the channels could have been switched in the recording process or in your system. No way to tell. | |
| P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile? You have grasp my position perfectly; nothing is exactly what I want from every component in my system. Just the music and nothing else; the best one is the one that adds or subtracts the least. As I have upgraded my system I find it harder and ha... | |
| P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile? Mine certainly helps; I was using a Balanced Power Technology power strip with a Oyaide GPX PC and the Quintet was a noticeable improvement. Exactly how is a longer cord an improvement? I use a one meter Python Helix from the wall to my Shunyata H... | |
| Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load The large Musical Fidelity amps are stable into 2 ohms and have a lot of power. My NuVista was rated at 275 watts at 8 ohms but in tests delivered , I believe, 860 watts at 2 ohms. The other 3 later models are all more powerful than mine. All can ... | |
| Gamut M250i & D3i -- superb. Their speakers are very good also. | |
| Anyone compare budget phono oft recomended? HIFICRITIC does comparison tests and in a recent issue tested the Lehmann Black Cube Statement, which got a rating of 37 on their scale, the Musical Fidelity V-LPS, which got 34 [higher with upgraded PS] , and the Sutherland 20/20, which scored 40... | |
| Gyrodec Best Tonearm I currently use a Graham 2.2 and a Jelco 750, both of which should work well with the Gyrodec but there are many, many good arms out there. You might consider upgrading the arm cable if you haven't already dome it. |
