| Another Virus Outbreak on the way.... I got it twice, came through on emails from Agoners addresses!!! Norton picked it up and quarentined it. SO no problem so far. | |
| Cables for progressive scan Patmatt is correct; its just a matter of convenience. But it is important to use a true 75 ohm cable/RCA not any old rca terminated cable. Don't sell the convenience factor too short however, given the typical spaghetti factory behind most HT rigs. | |
| Who R U? Hi Calloway. Hope you hit em "straight and long". | |
| Other great classified add sources,even Canada? Rgd- You are correct re: 9/11 issues, and actually the recent cross-border mailings have all be more rapid than I expected. My horror story was in a m.o. sent a couple of years ago. It came back after one month, stating no such address. Address wa... | |
| Other great classified add sources,even Canada? There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but in buying multiple items from Canada, I've gotten charged a customs/brokerage fee ($19) once. Other than the sometimes slow pace of Canada Post, they've all been smooth. | |
| What pre-amp would you choose Should be able to snag a BAT VK5i for about $2K. Or a 3i w/remote and phono for about $1.25K. | |
| 300 disk W/ outboard DAC or single play W good dac "good dac" is pretty hard to define, but even used you'd be hard pressed to get something older but recent for less than about $150-$250. That doesn' leave much room for a transport and cables. Maybe try a CAl Icon MK2 one box player. | |
| New to digital mod world...help I guess the biggest question is, does it have digital out. If so, and if repair cost is reasonable (probably not), then you could hook it up with a modern DAC and give it a go. | |
| One channel pre dead, one source only OK, I swapped out the BAT for an ARC SP9MkII I have hung onto for an office system (glad I didn't sell it to help finance the Vandy 3a sigs I've been lusting after). Everything is fine now, so it seems to be in the BAT line stage somewhere. I will... | |
| Shouldn't this be intuitive? The disks I am using successfully are Sony CDR-Audio and under the compact disc logo they say digital audio. BTW, there is a pretty high failure rate on CDRs. Maybe you should try recording from another source to see if the record function works a... | |
| Headphones+Quad 606 Beavis is correct (the 2nd time). | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to All Same to all. | |
| Shouldn't this be intuitive? Jeff- are you using Audio CDRs? You can't use the computer data CDRs due to licensing/copyright issues. The used Pioneer CD recorder I bought here didn't work until I bought Audio CDRs. They have a special logo on them. Can't remember exactly what... | |
| what used speakers to buy for 650? You should be able to get a pair of VAndersteen 2c/2ci for about that much. These speakers, IMO, never sound bad and can stand up to some pretty good electronics if you start upgrading. I listen to mostly acoustic music (jazz, folk, bluegrass, roo... | |
| Replace 35" TV with something bigger Charles- You are absolutely correct. The DVD image on my Loewe Planus (16:9 dtv, 420p via internal doubler) is awesome, on TV its very dark and sometimes fuzzy as well. One advantage of the Loewe is each input has a separate memory for video param... |
