| Source for Shipping Boxes? PS: Even your local U-Haul may have the same materials. My Allied Van Lines place had a small "showroom" at their main office because a lot of people will pack their own to save money. | |
| Source for Shipping Boxes? You can also check with your local branch of a major moving company. Since they pack to move just about anything including appliances, they have great materials. I have bought boxes from my local Allied Van Lines. They even took VISA. | |
| High End Components - How long do they last? If you are not adverse to replacing parts that wear out, and assuming you can get them, then they last forever. I know someone who just replaced the FET's on his old Conrad Johnson stuff. The replacement FET's came from CJ. | |
| Better processor or bettet center channel speaker That surround processor if not up to the HTM but it is still a decent one. If you do not like the sound, then maybe you need to look at your amp. | |
| Stan Warren email? Stan only does eMail when he wants information. He won't respond to you even if you could find his address (not likely). He will talk to you on the phone as long as you want; sometimes more than an hour if he feels like talking. Take notes! Stan i... | |
| Looking for a gadget How much would a tech charge to remove the toslink and replace it with an RCA interface? It is basically labor, the parts are peanuts. $40 to $60 ??? | |
| I can't believe there is no difference I agree that you may need a more revealing system to notice the difference. I am sure there is a difference good or bad. I recently compared in my home a stock MSB link DAC and one tweeked by Stan Warren. I could tell the difference, small but wor... | |
| Sounds good but to laid back Different more lively cables maybe??? | |
| need help on minimal analog set-up Rats, I now only think the Anthem Pre-1L and Pre-2L have the built in headphone amp. The original Pre-1 does not. Still the 1L and 2L are great pre's for the price, but will need a separate phono stage/preamp. | |
| how to best a/b cables I find quick switches back and forth do not work for me. I like to listen to a long passage of music, then switch and replay with the other cables. It takes many switches back and forth to really get a good handle on the all the differences betwee... | |
| need help on minimal analog set-up I believe the discontinued Anthem Pre-1 by Sonic Frontiers has phono and a headphone amp. Used probably +/- $500. | |
| High power tube integrated? Conrad Johnson makes one model CAV-50 ($2495 list, $1600 used). On the cheap end is one by AMC ($1000 list, $500 used mint). | |
| Cambridge CD500se as good as Planet 2000?? The Rega is different, a little more laid back. A friend was able to demo both players in his home and bought the Rega. The D500SE is still a very good $400 player. | |
| Integrated amp into Lightspeed? I run an integrated into a conditioner in one system and also a HT receiver in another which is also an integrated. There is an improvement in both, so it is worth it. Many of the better conditioners do not limit dynamics. There are even thoses fo... | |
| Buy now or wait for a better dvd player. 250 What player do you have now? How old? You could stock up on DVDs movies instead. Newer players have progressive scan, but that may end up being a doubed edge sword. Some plasma projectors and TV's with some type of scaler or line doubler technolog... |
