| Favorite Audio Ad I remember the ad Tubegroover mentions. It get my vote too. It is actually bad marketing. We remember the woman, not the product. Mr. Wipple was not pretty, but we all remember the product. That's good marketing. | |
| Best Roof Mounted FM Antenna I have one of those $20 Radio Shack roof FM antennas that I've had since 1980. They do work very well !! I do not currently use it because the TV antenna allows me to use a TV in that room as well. There are lots of stations around DC even without... | |
| VANDERSTEEN SUB V2W? There is a model 2Wq that is optimized for 2 channel. I am not sure how they differ otherwise. I think the 2Wq has a contour control to help integrate the sub with the room and the main speakers for 2 Channel. Check their website for more informat... | |
| DDD CD Recordings If you are looking for sources you can start with TowerRecords.com or even Amazon.com --- For rare finds and imports try CDChoice.com I am not sure if you can tell if they are DDD though. There is lots of used stuff on eBay. | |
| DDD CD Recordings Ditto to the above. DDD just mean all Digital. The first D is for Digital Recorded, 2nd D for Digital Mix, and 3rd D is for the final format on the CD. "A" is analog and includes all pre-digital recording put on CD and some artists who still recor... | |
| B W Subwoofer ASW-2000 vs. ASW-2500 See your other thread under Home Theater for my post. | |
| B W Subwoofer ASW-2000 vs. ASW-2500 Check the reviews at audioreview.com; Also take a look at the REL Q201E. It is really small and really shines with music and HT. It lists for $1595 and is a steal at that price. Ambrosia Audio has a demo for $1276. | |
| Reasonably priced 2K Phono Preamp? I have a Conrad Johnson Motif Phono Stage. They are used only. Sold for over $2K new. I see used ones a lot for $600 to $740. Model is MC-11 I think. Is "Reasonably" priced $2K an Oxy-moron ??? | |
| Best Roof Mounted FM Antenna I have a roof mounted antenna in my attic crawl space. It is just a TV antenna. For your information, I believe the FM band is between VHF TV channels 6 and 7. Because of this, I have found TV antennas work fine and the fancy FM stuff is not worth... | |
| Cheap Canadians I think maybe its not just the Canadians. I was in Europe 2 years ago and a lot of non-American gear was cheaper there. | |
| Rotel conrad-johnson I ditto Argent. The PV-11 did sound a lot better after it was on for awhile. I did not like to leave it on, so it usually got up to speed by the time I was going to shut it off. My PV-10 sounded good cold and warm. | |
| RCA Sub for 350 dollars. Nice sounding Ditto.. A friend in college worked for a speaker company that made mass market speakers. He told me many of the speakers for different brands were the same inside, just a different grill on the outside.I can relate to finding something good in ord... | |
| Rotel conrad-johnson I ran a PV-10 with a CJ MF2100 solid state amplifier for a long time and it was just great. I got the idea for this combo because it was recommended in various publications at the time. Do not know how the PV-10 would work with a Rotel. There are ... | |
| Bryston 3bst vs Bryston 3b If you can afford it, I go for the 3B-ST also if Bryston is what you want. There is a lot of competition in the $2000 List - 100/125 watt amp market, but it seems like every review I read about concerning another amplifier in this range, the revie... | |
| What to do with your tax return? Kitch is right on, unfortunitely a lot of people can't save any other way. |
