| Connecting PD65 to Theta gen. l You will need a single cable for the digital data stream. conventional wisdom says that toslink optical is the least desirable, but you may want to experiment. Possible options include a co-ax with an RCA or BNC connector, a toslink optical, ST/AT... | |

| A'gon transactions: When is it legit to quit? Tk4- Not standard practice in my experience. I've bought 20+ items here over last 3 years, and never had anyone request that. | |
| Personal speaker evolution Hmm- of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. Prices have completely disappeared, but I bet I've got a pretty good handle on the speakers.1. Rat Shack 2 ways 1 yr.2. Rectilinear Mini 3s 2 yrs.3. Small Advents4. Large Advents5. Infinit... | |
| Component Video versus S-Video I wouldn't worry about the sub crossover at 100 hz. You probably want some significant overlap, so unless your mains and center go REALLY low, 100 hz is probably OK, IMO. | |
| Need Help with New DAC There's a Classe' DAC1 w/HDCD listed right now for 1K. I really like the one I bought recently. Its a significant upgrade from the highly regarded DAC in my CAL CL-10. Of course, you also have to budget for good digital cable. | |

They are, in my opinion, a steal at the current u... | |
| A little extra insurance on the cheap-Shipping Right on both counts, Albert. | |
| What's the best 5 disc cd player for under 1,000? CAL CL-10 sells used for about $7-800. Stereophile Class B and has a full range of digital outs if you want to upgrade to an outboard DAC at a later date. Its quite a nice unit. | |

| Is a dac better than an new cd palyer? Dekay- I've gone thru a major upgrade over the last month or so, so its hard to isolate specifics. The DAC came first, then new speakers AND cables, then a step up in power to drive the new speakers. But I did really like the sound when just the D... | |

| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? Both. Tube (BAT VK3i) pre and SS (McCormack DNA1 Rev. B) amp. Cant see dealing with the expense and hassle of output tubes, but the small signal tubes are long life, no biasing, etc. | |
| Is a dac better than an new cd palyer? Unlike Dekay, I am very happy with the Classe' dac I used to upgrade my CAL CL-10 changer. So far, I believe that it gave me a major upgrade in sound while preserving the party friendly changer. | |
| Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express? Oh man, Joe. I don't know what to say except for you have my sympathy. Maybe you should consider "hold for pick-up". |
