| what to upgrade Dave- no one will laugh at your choice of music and you will find that many (most?) of the active posters enjoy popular (i.e., non-classical) music. I would have to say that in my experience changing speakers has a major impact on the character of... | |
| Men/Women/Audiophiles But you've got to admit, sometimes its fun trying all of the buttons! | |
| Best Find Ever??? As usual, Albert shows us the way. On a more mundane note, I bought a Dynaco PAS-3 and ST-70 (working) at a tag sale about 10 years ago for $25.00. Used them occassionally for a couple of years and then sold them for $250.00 to a guy from Canada. ... | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. How about mid 70s Linda Ronstadt (When will I be loved, Tumbling Dice, etc.) Altho My Little Runaway definately is also up there. | |
| Line stage ? Mikem is right but to amplify further line level refers to a certain voltage output range from a source device that a pre-amp boosts and then sends to the amplifier. A phono cartridge's output is much lower (millivolts I think) and needs to be boo... | |
| Replace 35" TV with something bigger Beam- if you can swing the 38" Aconda, you will get a much biger picture than your 35", since it is 16:9 and you can even blow up the picture on 4:3 to 110% and use almost the entire screen width while loosing only about 1" top and bottom (at leas... | |
| Replace 35" TV with something bigger Sean- Believe it or not, the Loewe has an NTSC standard calibration setting built in, and was pretty close to what I got using video essentials. However, its generally too dark (someone said that it has to do with the type of mask) for this set, e... | |
| Replace 35" TV with something bigger I got my video essentials DVD on ebay for $30.00. | |
| Please Help: High-End car audio Ez- If the 6.5s are low in the door and the tweets are up high near your ear, that could be a big part of the problem. You will loose most of the bottom. Vis-a-vis the head unit, I will say that I have had a Nak, Alpine, and Eclipse. The NAk was b... | |
| HT Components-would appreciate thoughts Pealmike- I'm interested in your demo of the Aconda w/ a prog scan DVD. Which one, and did the external doubler beat the internal. I have a Loewe Planus-Elite DV 05 combo that I really like, but havent compared the Loewe doubler to any prog scan D... | |
| Please Help: High-End car audio Ez- You're right, the 5v output should be sufficient. Sorry, I can't say much about sound being "stuck in the drivers". My Eclipse set up (w/eclipse speakers) is in my Jeep Cherokee with a rack and box on top. At 70 mph, sometimes its hard not to ... | |
| Please Help: High-End car audio Ezmeralda11- I can think of several factors that might affect the sound:1. Some head units provide a lower than typical preamp voltage that would definately affect the ability of the amp to provide great sound.2. the $70 price for installation is ... | |
| Help out a Young Audiophile Hey folks, back off a little. Its a little (maybe a lot unconventional) but give the guy a break. It takes some guts to put yourself out there and while this is probably not the best forum (little humor to defuse angry crowd) I don't think "it is ... | |
| Networking cable for speaker cable? Yeah- CAT 5 cable is supposed to be good for single or biwire applications, especially the teflon insulated premium variety. You should be able to run a search and find DIY recipes. Its cheap enough that you could experiment to your hearts content. | |
| Awsome Remote?? The reason why these people are "internet loser dorks" is because the learning curve is so steep, there're the only ones who can get the bloody things to work. Actually, there is a whole library of remote commands for a wide variety of electronic ... |
