| What's Better - Denon 2900 or Sony NS999es? Why? The 5900 ability to play CD, DVD, DVDA, DVD Audio, SACD, etc., interests me as well. The rumors of High Definition DVD video appearing possibly as soon as next year, coupled with the hisory of rapidly depreciating value of digital gear, makes it h... | |
| What can the average enthusiest do to get A+ HT? Brainwater, thanks for your reply. My response was to the quest for A+HT. I have yet to hear a HT system that was less than $70K that I'd want to take home. I'd rather spend less and have a good two or three channel system. I have no aversion to v... | |
| What can the average enthusiest do to get A+ HT? IMHO, forget it. My current thinking is that I won't tackle that project until I can have a more money than the "average enthusiast" has or is willing to spend and can build a custom room from the ground up. The logistical problems and costs for A... | |
| Listening room in Attic or Living room??? IMHO, to spend that kind of money and not obtain the services of a professional like Rives would be just plain foolish. The only other option might be something like the TacT or Sigtech, which might be used in conjunction with professinal acoustic... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Magnavox CDB-473. | |
| Physically awkward components... I find drawers that are off center irritating. Many shelves have side posts that wrap towards the front of the shelf and manage to obstruct off center drawers from opening. | |
| Physically awkward components... Cogan-Hall cables. I borrowed some to try. Never could bend, fit, manipulate them into place. I spent hours trying to no avail. Never did hear them. | |
| Very Best Cd Changer to drive outboard DAC? I think Proceed made an audiophile "super" changer transport years ago. It was based on a commercial CD juke box mechanism, so it should be rugged and hold a lot of CD's. Very expensive, and I would think very rare. | |
| Simple passive crossover + Tact RCS? I guess I'm not really answering your question, but, from what I understand TacT's own speakers don't incorporate internal cross-overs. They are designed into the RCS. | |
| that studio'ish sound I would guess that the PMC line of speakers in an all balanced system set up for near field listening with extensive room treatment would do the trick. | |
| Tom Waitts Where do I begin? My favorite is "nighthawks at the diner". Check the archives. | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? In my day we just banged rocks against our ears, and we liked it! Stoned head banging rockers we were. It was just a fad though. After a while the novelty wore off. No matter how hard we banged rocks against out selves we just couldn't hear anythi... | |
| What do Oil Caps do and how do they effect sound? Albert, I'm not sure whether you were being facetious or not? You actually gave a pretty good argument for using the numbers or text. | |
| Interconnect under $200 new or used..... I've always thought Straightwire had some of the best cables at that price point. | |
| Sonic Frontiers line 3 vs. AR 25 II For what ever it's worth, I prefer the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 on every level, except for the fact that they are no longer in business. I understand service is still available, but there is something to be said about working with a firm that has be... |
