| What happened to Revel? I completely agree with SFstereo. I have heard a great deal more about various Revel products (especially Studio and Salon) than about virtually any other brand of speaker at similar price points. I feel that the audiophile conscience is almost ov... | |

| Help with speaker selection, please Thank you to all those who have provided me with valuable guidance and assistance in this forum. I especially appreciate those of you who were able to comment without being obnoxious and judgmental. PLEASE bear in mind, we lost our Audiogon forums... | |
| Help with speaker selection, please It's me...the poster of the original message. My system consists of a Theta Data Basic II transport, which I intend to replace with a high-caliber universal player over the next couple years. It runs into an MSB Gold Link III DAC, which will be ab... | |
| Poor sattelite picture quality I posted the first response to this message; the one that compared Dish Network to DirecTV. I should mention that I was referring to an HDTV-capable DirecTV receiver...I guess I assumed that the HDTV in question was being used with an HDTV satelli... | |
| Poor sattelite picture quality I've had both The Dish Network as well as DirecTV. On a similar TV (also a Toshiba, but a slightly smaller screen), DirecTV looked excellent. This followed a wretched experience with the picture I'd endured on the same TV with The Dish Network. Yo... | |
| Recommended Classical CD Maybe Tutti!, the Reference Recordings CD (#RR-906CD) would be a good one to try. I have it, and there are a decent number of cymbals involved. It's also HDCD, if your CD player can decode it. | |
| KS-1030 VS. Nordost Quattro Fil I (the poster of the original message) have heard KS-1030's and 1020's in a friend's system. He had 1030's from pre-amp to amp, and 1020's everywhere else. It was tough to tell how big a difference there was between 1030's and 1020's. Either way, ... | |
| Why so many DCS for sale recently? I think people see that upsampling can be done fairly cheaply...such as the MSB Platinum Link for around $3,000. Even the Gold Link III, which I bought for $999, can be easily upgraded to the 24/192 standard. I honestly think people figure, "why d... | |
| Question for SCD-1 and 777es owners. Maybe you should try an MSB Platinum Link. It's only 3 grand new, which would leave you some money to invest in power cables or interconnect upgrades. |
