| HTPC - What is it that I need? I would advocate putting the most money into the hard drive space and video card(s). Then allocate money for the processor and memory. And get a case that's going to be expandable enough to add additional drives as they come.Expecting to get 10+ y... | |
| New to High Definition media. You are correct in that DVI cables only carry video information, whereas HDMI transmits digital video and audio signals. You can think of DVI as a "subset" of HDMI.Get a cable (however long you need) with an HDMI connection on one end and a DVI on... | |
| Remote not in line with seating position Some remotes (such as some by Universal Remote) can be used with RF units that can achieve just what you're describing. This allows the A/V equipment to sit in a closet, for instance, and still be controllable.Michael | |
| IYO, Best speaker for rock music under $1k If you've got the amp for it, I'd suggest PSB Stratus Gold's (or possibly Silver's, but the bronze is too lean for rock).Michael | |
| best small room 2 channel set up for under $2ooo Do the speakers actually have to go onto a bookshelf? If so, you need to consider positioning and such, and there are relatively few small speakers that will sound good on an actual bookshelf.If, on the other hand, what you're looking for is small... | |
| Good entry level cd? Used Music Hall CD-25.Michael | |
| Which way to go to built a music server?? I use option #2, using a Squeezebox that's hard-wired to my house's ethernet network. I use a Linux server that runs the Slimserver software, and make backups to an NAS. One major advantage to the Squeezebox/Transporter route is that the software ... | |
| Tube Pre, budget $1K? You might consider relaxing your requirement for a phono stage, because you can add an external phono preamp for a couple hundred dollars and buy yourself much more flexibility.I've owned several tube preamps under $1000. IMHO, the Marsh P2000t is... | |
| Tubes for Cal Audio Labs Alpha Processor I've also never had any problem with tubes in my Alpha.For sound, the best I've encountered so far are Sylvania 5751's.Michael | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? Outlier, if you're planning on going the Squeezebox route, that's another argument for staying with iTunes. It's not the only way to use the Squeezebox (I personally use the Perl-based server software on my Linux box), but its server software can ... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? I second Sfar' suggestion; you can also control-click a song and the "Convert to ..." option will be one of your choices.What exactly is the problem using iTunes for large libraries? And why would you want to convert everything to WAV? We've had e... | |
| Best Componet rack for large Tube Amps Boltz sells modular component racks that are built like a tank. I think they are rated for at least 350 lbs. Just get the 14" spacing between shelves to provided adequate breathing room for your tube amps.Another option is Michael Green Justarack.... | |
| How can I use a external amp for center channel? I take it that you've already tried hooking up the center channel speaker to your receiver, rather than through an external amp? If not, that's something you could try for free, and see if it works OK for you.Michael | |
| Looking for a entry level audiophile turntable I'll be the 3rd to chime in about the KAB Technics. It's a fantastic bang for the buck, built like a tank, and easy to set up and configure. I have no real desire to spend more money on a turntable now that I have one. It sounds great to me.Michael | |
| Man Cave or No? I have both, although as a single guy I guess both of the rooms could be considered to be my "man cave". The true man cave is for the 2 channel system, and the HT sits in the living room.Michael |
