| How to arrange my speakers? You're speakers are on the best wall and your room dimensions are pretty good but an extra foot or two to make it 13.5' x 18 would be even better.Go to cardas.com and look for golden room optimal speaker placement type stuff.My room is 12.5 by 18.... | |
| Difference bewteen McCormack DNA-2 & DNA-1 ?? There is also the DNA-2 LAE (Limited Anniversary Edition) which according to one reviewer IAR's Peter Moncrief labeled the best solid state amp made in 1998/1999. It is supposedly head and shoulders over the DNA-2 Deluxe and standard DNA-2. Same p... | |
| What Would You Do? Bwhite, thanks for the kind words.The main reasons why I do and will continue to suggest the Odyssey Stratos include:1. Upon research(without hearing them), I came this close ---> 2. International Audio Review reviewed this amp and about 20 oth... | |
| Sim Audio or Bryston 7b's? I was using the Moon W-5 for my Aerial 10T's. A very inefficient speaker.Again, I believe you should give serious consideration to the Odyssey Stratos amps for the Phase Tech speakers and for the Aerial 7b's in the future.For $995, they are suppos... | |
| Sim Audio or Bryston 7b's? I used to own the SimAudio Moon W-5. A wonderful amp that will reproduce micro-dynamics like few can. Powerful and even a touch of sweetness which is rare for a solid state. Definitely seemed like more power than it's stated 190wpc.However, it see... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS Cost of doing business, my hiney. What is this, a new form of taxation? I will add a few of you jokers to my list of people whom NOT to do business with. And yes it is illegal for merchants to charge anybody more for the use of a creditcard than i... | |
| Thoughts for a system for 5000 Amplifier: One of the very best ss amps is the Odyssey Stratos for $995. check out the reviews at odysseyaudio.com.Preamp: look at Odyssey's Tempest preamp for $995 also.CD player: Sony DVP s9000es. Excellent for SACD/cd/dvd at $800.Speakers: A pa... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS Yes, it is illogical and greedy to charge extra for PayPal or for a credit card. I too will not buy from somebody who charges me for PayPal.It is a matter of convenience and security for both buyer and seller. Therefore, if anything, both parties ... | |
| Toshiba 9200 or Sone 9000 for DVD HT Aside from the 'killer blue light', the Sony s9000es is really a well built product with first rate picture and excellent sonics for the money.I've not listened to the Toshiba 9200 but I used to own the 5901. It was nice but the Sony was simply be... | |
| Where do I go from here? You may want to research the Avantegarde Uno's. A beatiful speaker that is extremely efficient needing very little wattage to drive them. | |
| Audio and HT - Finding Balance Focus on two-channel first and foremost. Once satisfied, add a subwoofer and tv (Plasma, or front projection would be best to keep things clean). If your pre has two sets of main outs then one set can go to the sub and the other to the amp.I belie... | |
| Aerial 10T replacement? I believe the 20T' retail will be around $20k.I'm curious about the 30T that I heard about around 9 months ago but haven't heard about since. | |
| Dedicated Power Lines - How to? I did most of the 3 dedicated lines and circuits myself. I also added PS Audio Power Port outlets and lifted the ground on each line.It's well worth it.-IMO | |
| Best CD player I'd recommend a new or used Sony SCD-1. A very nice unit both sonically and it's fit'n finish.Is it the best? No, but what is? But it can't be too far away.I'm using Harmonic Technology Pro Silway Mk II interconnects.-IMO (because some think I'm t... | |
| What Would You Do? I am more convinced that it would be too easy to find an amp superior sonically to the Mac. :)IMO |
