| New Acoustic guitar sampler A+ Thanks Glen. Sounds good. | |
| Best Remote?? Bmpnyc- there are dedicated hard keys for channel change and volume (and maybe mute) and two programable hard keys on each screen. But the keys for changing devices are "soft" (on the LCD screen). There is a back light, which makes the LCD "keys" ... | |

| What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound????? Is it possible that you are now hearing some grain and sharpness in the high end of the NHTs? I have small NHTs for my HT, with nowhere near the resolution you have in the rest of my HT system, but I know that some say that they can be bright. As ... | |
| Best Remote?? BMP- be aware that while there is a large library of downloadable simulations of OEM remotes, and they are learnable as well, there is a considerable learning curve for the Pronto. Most of the controls are "soft", i.e., they must be created and pr... | |
| Who R U? Hello Frank. Nice to meet ya. | |
| Phono Preamps, help A phono pre-amp (external) or phono stage (internal) takes the very low level signal of a phono cartridge and does two things: it modifies it to correct for RIAA equalization applied during production of the LP (essentially a type of tone control ... | |

RTR decks, running at speeds 2-8x faster, aren't subject to this problem, and dolby processing is typically not ... | |
| Tubes for CJ Premier 16LS Brandon- if you run a search on tubes or tube rolling, you will find extensive discussion of this issue, esp. with respect to people's experience with various suppliers. | |
| Quick question on BAT preamps Tim, as far as I understand it, a true (not upgraded) VK3i such as mine and Dave's has both balanced and single ended inputs and outputs. I am not sure if both outputs are live simultaneously. Not sure about the 30 and 50. If you email BAT, you'll... | |
| Two great seminars this fall Awsome, Mario. I live in Central CT and while I'm going to be away on 12/1, I'll try to make the Nov date. Hope to meet lots of my cyberfriends, including David99. | |
| Who R U? Joe- Glad to hear from you and best of luck with your health. You'll find that there are lots of reformed hippies and the like here, who started in hifi in the 60s, got away from it and then came back as life and circumstances allowed. If music is... | |
| Arm board recommendations for SOTA Edle- Great idea in theory; I even have access to a bandsaw. However, would like to keep all of my digits attached to my hand w/o surgical assistance. | |
| Proton NT-2760 TV I'm not a Proton owner, but I've seen this TV in operation at a local shop. The picture was very good; better on standard NTSC material than my $3700 30" 16:9 Loewe. DVD is better on the Loewe, which displays 520p via a very good quality internal ... | |
| 25 foot bi-wire speaker cables that won't bust the bank? I am presently running the Silver Sonic T-14 in a shotgun biwire configuration and found it to be a quantum leap from the Original Monster shotgun biwire it replaced. DH Labs also has another suppossedly similar cable (Q-10) that can be set up as ... |
