| Audiophiles DO NOT USE DHL-READ MY NIGHTMARE As far as I can tell, the insurance is if they sctually loose it. Otherwise its an "excess value claim". No need for an attorney in small claims court, BTW. | |
| Thiel 2.3's with smart sub FWIW, recent Stereophile really liked the 2.4 with the smallest of the Smartsub and the passive x-over. | |
| problem w/ 1080i video output mode... Try avsforum.com | |
| VR4SR I heard it at the HE show in NYC in April, being driven by a VAC 70 wpc in a modest size room. 70 wpc was OK. I would think that the 4JR would be more suitable in a small room with a 24 w SET. | |
| Speaker upgrade????? 3Asigs would be a bit over $2000, but a great choice. But might want a bit more power than the VK-60 will provide, unless you add a 2WQ sub, which would reduce the power requirements. | |
| Can I use Headphones AND a Subwoofer? Several on head-fi.org have done this. You can check over there them and see what they thought of their results. | |
| Pre-Amp Reliability -- 4th time mine has conked Maybe I should clarify. I said not outrageous, but certainly not what should be expected. | |
| 300B tube death question........ NO return on a defective tube makes them a non-viable supplier, IMO. Sounds like they are using their customers as QA/QC. For 20 bonus points, what large software supplier uses the same business model? Seriously, unless your vendor is 30% lower in... | |
| Pre-Amp Reliability -- 4th time mine has conked 4X in 15 years is not outrageous, but I've only had 1 pre-amp ever need work in the last 15 years (all used units). With respect to new gear, give us a budget. One thing, w.a pair of the 2WQs, you will be able to use a smaller, higher quality amp.... | |
| Biwiring non-biwired speakers Only benefit would be from increased AWG, if in fact the cables were shotgun biwire | |
| JoLida 502b suitable for computer stereo system? YOu might want to consider an "audiophile grade" sound card and then take the line outs into any input on your integrated. don't know your integrated, but if the "computer" input is an RCA stereo pair, then it is NOT a digital input (single toslin... | |
| How should I plug my headphone amplifier ? That should work (using tape outputs). I would check with Ayre, because you should get a line level signal from the tape outputs, just like you would gete from your CDP. | |
| 300B tube death question........ If you are saying that you cannot get the bias reading high enough, even with the pot turned up all the way, then something is wrong. | |
| New Cartridge Gone Wrong YOu may be overloading the phono stage if the Denon is a high output mc. Also you may want to try varying the cartridge loading. | |
| Plasma owners any problems?? AFAIK, there are only a few display manufacturers. Different brands take an established display and add their own electronics, or sometimes just re-badge them. |
