| I hope break in is true I must echo Sean's warnings about audiophile break-in and (especially!) test CDs. At high volumn they can do damage and I blew out a set of new super tweeters when running such a CD at high volumn. Only then did I read the instructions "do not use... | |
| audio aero capitole cd player Unless you still want to listen to vinyl the Capitole releases you from a pre. This is especially true if you buy the newest version with analog passthru for your tuner. The older versions of the Capitole are updatable with a new circuit board to ... | |
| Best place to buy tubes Kevin at upscale really knows his stuff. He will suggest several alternatives and his advise is good. | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Hmmmmm, I have been thinking about adding a sub to my electrostats. I had not thought about the above problems. Now I probably won't try as i can do better without than a poorly mated 'with'. | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD I also appreciate the above suggestions. My own copy of this music...sucks. | |
| Subwoofer solutions. Get one sub, and if you like it, stop. | |
| Acoustat - Can it be saved? I just visited that audio Circuit site. For Acoustat it has been 3+ years since I checked them out. Finally, some real good on the amps!thanks for starting this thread. I have already learned alot and I hope it is of some value to you. | |
| Acoustat - Can it be saved? Yes. I own a pair of Acoustat X that match your description. My power supply went out and I took them to a local fellow who was able to examine the working twin and he replaced both power supply components. Of course, my circuit board was not dama... | |

| Should we upgrade high end fuses? I have a pair of tube amps. I also own a pair of Acoustat X electrostatic speakers. Fuses have burned out on two of these four amps.....saved my house. Don't bypass. | |

| Plasma vs LCD help, which is better? Go on over to avsforum.com and follow the new NEC thread. a quick search would be '50XR4' Pioneer and NEC have joined forces but the NEC still has the better processor and zoom feature which can be used to get rid of those silly logos. | |
| What do you think of the DIY Cat 5 speaker cables There are some good speaker cables already out there. Try them. | |
| digital cable vs. satellite standard definition Dbriana, you should check out www.avsforum.com and www.dbstalk.com. You can wander the threads and see what the videophiles are saying. | |
| Directv HD: HDMI or component for best picture? Does your TV do a side-by-side picture? Is so, try doing your own comparison. On my NEC 50XM5 plasma I tried this and the digital was superior due to the NEC's video processorI find that satellite receivers don't do video or audio processing as we... |
