| question about BOSE reputation I think the Bose system is an HT system with CD/Tuner built-in. Se let's see... All Brand New.. 2 Pairs of B&W DM302 at $250 each; a CC-3 Center $180; with a HSU VTF-2 Sub $500. That's $1180... Add a Stan Warren modified Pioneer DVD player $50... | |
| TUBE....Starting with Power or Preamp ? I would start with a tube preamp. For around $550 to $650 used, a Conrad Johson PV-10 is hard to beat. The PV-10AL is line stage only; the PV-10A has phono. There is also the original PV-10 (with no A or AL) which has phono also. | |
| Where s the bass? I also recommend you try a REL subwoofer. They are designed to fill in the bottom, without affecting the sound made by your main speakers. | |
| Help with DAC follow up If you send the Aiwa CD changer to Stan Warren in Oregon, he will make it a great transport for about $200. Search old threads for his phone number, I don't have it handy. | |
| I am curious about line conditioners. The PS Audio stuff is very nice. Just be sure you want to afford the 500 watts of power it uses (the smallest model). I assume the bigger ones draw even more power. | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" No JH, just having a little fun. Remember that is was once proven scientifically that it is impossible to travel at faster than the speed sound. The cables used all "measure" the same, but that only means they are the same for the things measured.... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Measurement proves nothing. Let's have John measure a group of tenors singing a line of music. Human vocal cords are made of the exact same material. If all the tenors sing all the right notes, the sound will "measure" the same on John's equipment... | |
| Sub Connection Help I also recommend you check out the REL subs. The verson III of most models have controls to fine tune the crossover in 2Hz increments. Very easy to set up and integrate. | |
| I am curious about line conditioners. PS: I recommend you get a conditioner with dedicated Digital AC inputs. The Video will perform best with digital AC conditioning from my experience. | |
| I am curious about line conditioners. I also found the biggest improvement was in the quality of the video in every respect. I also experienced something similar to Elizabeth. For fun I connected my Vansevers Reference conditioner from my audio system to the Video system and found the... | |
| Does sub cable also have to be high end? Have not tried a new sub cable yet, but I found a big improvment replacing the stock power cord on my REL. | |
| Subwoofer Question PS: In most cases (not all) I find it hard to integrate a sub putting it on a midpoint away from the corners. Some will disagree with this, however may subs were designed to be put in the corner, so try the corner for a while and play around with ... | |
| High Quality FM Tuner - Advice Don't skimp $$$ on the cables. You would be wasting your money with a high end tuner and so so cables, IMHO. | |
| Subwoofer Question Try putting it in one corner behind one of the satellites. Try the right corner first. | |
| Party At Albertporter s Cones? I had hoped they were ice cream cones! I promise not to drip on the LPs. |
