| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I will probably try some in my amps with tubes. Shucks, I might get more enjoyment from them than the same priced 2.5 bottles of wine..... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK 2 owners must read this Turn it off. Un-plug it. Go to bed. Try it again in the morning. | |
| S/PDIF sounds more analog than AES/EBU While it is okay to have both cables feeding the DAC, one should never have both cables feeding an amp while using the toggle switch on the amp to flip from one feed to the other.This can be a disaster as most amps do not shut down one feed as the... | |
| Directv music channel versus AM/FM Tuner ? My own first choice is my music library with over 4,000 songs, set to random play. Next comes streaming audio using my Slimdevices Transporter and then I will sometimes play music from Dish Network for convenience, as with dinner. | |
| Isaac Hayes Yeah, I listened to the NPR/Fresh Air interview yesterday. Very well done, especially with his explanation of how his wardrobe evolved, including his reasons for shaving his hair. | |
| Projection Screen It is kinda nice to get audiophiles take on screens. Over at avsforum.com they really do complicate/digest the screens a bit far and into the esoteric...a bit like the avsforum.com take on "audio-freak-quality'It is kinda nice to go over to each f... | |
| Playstation 3 Blue Ray quality - How good is it ? Over at www.avsforum.com they are still really happy with the PS3...at least until something better comes along. It has the least problems with new Blu-Ray formatted discs and it is really reliable. The latest firmware update now allows for upconv... | |
| Projector and Screen recommendations Follow some of the leads above. Lots of discussion. | |
| a question about tube amp lights... I would not be concerned about how bright the light is.As far as tubes being in upright positions, I pay less attention to the angle while I do want to be sure that it is snug in place. If the tube is tight and comfortable, you will be too. | |
| Good match for Anthem AVM 30 A5 is a great match. Go on over to AVSFORUM.COM and follow some of the Anthem threads. Anthem is upgrading older models and the Anthem 30 is included in some of these. | |
| Review: Verastarr Grand Illusion Series Power cord I won a Verastarr component cable (Red-Blue-Green) auction here on Audiogon and have since bought some more of the same (RGB) cables. I have loaned a spare set of them to friends who previously had only experienced Radioshack-type cables and the p... | |
| what do i really need 1080p for? I would wait until sometime around November and then give serious thought to 1080P. I own a Blu-Ray player and yes it is veru much worth it.Unless you budget is forcing you, don't invest in 'last year's technology' as you will be locking yourself ... | |
| How would you improve the sound of Squeezebox? I had been running the digital output from my Squeezebox through my Audio Aero Capitole digital input with great results.I also have a Transporter in my system and I am now running both through my Anthem D2. Really good results.The Squeezebox DAC ... | |
| 6SN7 tube GTA vrs GTB Looks like I will be starting some more tube rolling in the near future. | |
| Balanced or Unbalanced? The biggest cheat is that so many units are for sale that do have 'balanced' inputs/outputs but are not truly balanced at all---they just add a bit of circuits to the system which defeats the purpose of so-called "balanced".In this situation I sti... |
