| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music Velodyne Digital Drive series. I have the DD-12 and find it so adaptable to the musice source and the best part is the 6 pre-set eq adjustments you set. So you can have one setting for movies and progress up to six incremental steps to tighter qui... | |
| DVD audio output: Optical or Digital RCA? Always go with coax when a vailable. Most manufactures build in optical because of cost. Direct wire is better in all applications, expecially longer runs | |
| What CD cleaner to use? Second the Shine Ola easy to use and effective. I have tried a number of them and this one does the trick. | |

| speaker grilles I think all speaker sound better with grills off. Theil is another that says they designed with the grills in place. I think it is a sales pitch. It's like "hey we build such a great speaker and design such a great cabinet that our speakers sound ... | |
| A short afternoon of Linn, Basis and Redpoint Interesting report, George. I have only recently listened to the LP12 and a VPI Scoutmaster and the Linn sounded better but it may have been setup. I do want to listen to the Basis and some Clearaudio TT's but haven't found the time. I did a head ... | |
| Marantz 9500 I had the 8300 trade to the 8400 and now have the 9500. The biggest improvement I can see is the video. The SACD and DVD-A seem to be about the same, maybe just a little better imaging at best. However as a DVD player it , in my opinion, excells t... | |
| What makes a speaker perform well at low volume? Second the good amp but add a very neutral cable | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Linn Ikemi, I purchased it based on it's analog sound or non-digital sound. All though I would like to get a universal player that sounds as good on redbook the only one I have heard that comes close is the Escoteric DV50 in full upsample mode. | |

| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? In comparison to what? They are a good product for the money. They are better than Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer Elite etc., but they are not going to compete with McIntosh, Krell, etc in their price range. I would say they compete well with Parasound, H... | |
| Rega RB-300 Counterweight Second the J.A.Michell counterweight. Totally different design and all weight is placed below the center line of the tonearm center horizontal plane. I have it on my RB600 and what a difference it made in detail, base response and clearity | |
| Best budget universal CD/DVD player? Beernutas an owner of the 9500 I think you will be pleasantly suprised. I have owned the 83 and 8300 and it is clearly a better machine. |
