| difference between Sony SCD 1 and SCD 777ES According to Stereophile, they are sonically the same and the only difference is the outputs.I own the SCD-1 and I will say that the SCD-1 is more attractive. That's gotta be worth a couple of grand, right?-IMO | |
| Silver Speaker Wire Recommendations? You might even consider a silver / copper blend like Harmonic Tech Pro 9's or Acoustic Zen's Satoris. Not only are they both quite detailed and sweet, but their pricing is even sweeter.For a used 10 ft pair you are looking in the $500 to 900 range. | |
| Best Subwoofer for 1500- 2500???? That is a decent price range for new subs and you could even cut the price in half going used.Perhaps the most musical sub for this price break is the Bag End Infrasub 18 inch subwoofer sells new for $1600 or used for $800. I've had in my house fo... | |
| Safely combining 2ch. and HT. I would recommend that you focus all efforts first on the best 2 channel system you can muster and then add a nice dvd player (check out a used Sony DVP s9000es DVD/SACD/CD unit for about $700) and a musical subwoofer. With that approach, you will... | |
| Best used 2 channel preamp for 2500.00. Check out odyssey stratos at odysseyaudio.com. Read the reviews (including TAS' golden ear award) you find there and then order a monoblock pair for $2k. You should notice the power rating, the speed, etc.. Not to mention the 30 day money back gua... | |
| SUBWOOFER FOR MUSIC At the $800 to $1500 used price range, I would recommend the Bag End Infrasub 18" subwoofer first. Extremely tight and musical sub that faithfully reproduces down to 8Hz. Not many subs out there can even go down to 20Hz much less 8Hz. You can find... | |
| Looking for a cd source for my system. The Sony SCD-1 is a very nice unit. | |
| Long Video or Long Audio?? Definitely choose the shorter audio cable runs. You will also save $$ on cabling. | |
| Speakers to match Audio Refinement Complete? Congratulations on your purchase. I understand that the ARC is quite a little amp and comes extremely highly rated by several reviewers.I'd really like to know what you guys think of the A.R.C. after you've had it a while.-John | |
| What is vibration isolation for? Don't you realize there are over 400,000 earthquakes a year around the world and getting worse every year? They say (whoever 'they' are) the world is constantly shaking!!!!Although the above is supposedly true, the vibrations you are concerned abo... | |
| help with spade connectors If the size difference is not great, you could try spreading them out with a pair of pliers and perhaps a screwdriver. Just be slow and methodical and bend just enough to fit the post.Otherwise, you may want to take them to a local audio shop to s... | |
| Acoustic Zen I've owned a pair of used AZ Satori shotguns (dual cables) bi-wired speaker cables for a couple of months about a year ago.IMO, they were no better than Harmonic Technology's Pro 9 speaker cables. Robert Lee of AZ used to be Harmonic Tech's chief ... | |
| Which worse- long I/C of speaker run I agree with SDcampbell. If the interconnect runs need to be long, you are most likely better served if you are using opportunity for signal loss. | |
| AC Power cords, which components 1st...? I have several audio grade outlets but have not a/b compared them (too much hassle). And I don't really put a lot of stock in them but it's such an inexpensive upgrade it doesn't hurt to have them. What I have discovered though, is that most any c... | |
| Which Amp Would You Buy Check out the odyssey stratos amp for $995 and their reviews at odysseyaudio.com. Received TAS golden ear award last year.In your research, you should not find one negative comment to be found about this amp. It is supposedly powerful and fast. |
