| Opinion, Yamaha, Denon Preamps from 80s Saturn- I still have my Yamaha C2a, a great ss pre from about 1980. It has switchable cart loading, 2 phono inputs, mc step up, 2 tape loops, sep. rec out (with off position), 2 outputs for biamping, even has a plastic rod/u-joint system for input... | |
| NAD remote replacement? Jeff- I have had similar problems getting "universal remotes" to work with NAD products. Often no code, or code only works partially. Wish I could offer some suggestions; only sympathy. | |
| I'm very upset. Let me tell you why. Ezmeraldall- wow, just checked back in and found a couple of angry responses. Hope mine wasn't interpreted the same way. Just trying to point out another way to look at it. Hope you feel better having gotten it off your chest. | |
| I'm very upset. Let me tell you why. Ezmeraldall- vent away. Imagine my frustration when I had a tweeter broken on a pair of Eclipse car audio separates and was told they did'nt sell the tweeters separately; had to buy one whole side (tweeter, woofer and xover. (luckily the car phone... | |
| Which BAT preamp? Jeff- My VK3i tube model was a definate improvement from the SP9 Mk2 I was running. Phono board and remote are available and can be retrofitted at $500/each! I am using single-ended in and out, not the balanced. This model is available used for ab... | |
| TV Options Terrifying Me. Please Help. William- before you buy a sony, make sure you can live with the picture geometry. any set I ever saw, the image looks concave. It may be flat, but sure looks weird. BTW, with really good DVD, Loewe Planus is scary good. I would recommend 16:9, but... | |
| BAT Equipment vs Audio Research Definately prefer my VK3i to my SP9 MKII, feeding McCormack DNA 0.5 dlx | |
| Smart Analytical Geek Required William- I hope I am none of the above, but I can tell you some of what I know: a letterbox DVD typically was not shot in exactly 16:9, so will not fill entire frame unless it is listed as anamorphic (I think). The 16:9 format is a compromise betw... | |
| Widescreen Premium a Rip-Off?? William- I have the 30" Loewe Planus. It has what is supposed to be a very high quality internal doubler and thus is a progressive scan digital, not HD TV. As I said, brutally revealing of the source. I would find a way to demo it on your cable, i... | |
| S-Video Cable - is there much difference Rogerwalk- I have the low end AQ s video and its no big deal. Not noticable better than low end MIT or even mid price Monster. Also, its a bit stiff, which can be a problem in terms of the keeping a good connection, depending on the geometry of yo... | |
| Widescreen Premium a Rip-Off?? Problem with signal quality a real one with analog cable and some satellite channels. My Loewe 16:9 is awesome with a good signal (and esp. good DVD), but less than outstanding with poor signal. Its not a true HDTV (1080i), it is a progressive sca... | |
| TV Options Terrifying Me. Please Help. William- I understand your confusion. I have recently purchased a Loewe 30" 16:9. My experience so far is that with some sources, it is extraordinary. But with a poor quality analog signal (cable, NSTC TV), its not very good at all. With digital s... | |
| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? Now boys, play nice or the folks at AudiogoN will send you to your rooms! Actually, I got a good chuckle after a morning of work, so thanks a lot. Now that you've got my attention, I'll at least have to see if they have a web site to see what all ... | |
| CD Changer advice Powerste- I have been very happy with my CL-10, which you should be able to buy used for much less than 1k. CAL is owned by Sensory Science and appears to be pretty stable. They are going big into HT and I think have pretty much ditched CD only fo... | |
| P. Scan DVD Players and HDTV-ready TV's Since we've gotten into a discussion on Loewe quirks, can anyone tell me if they've tried using the RCA DTC 100 satellite/HDTV receiver with this set. I believe the RCA has a vga output, which would feed directly into the Loewe vga input. I am not... |
